You watch the tv and an advert comes on for over 50's life insurance and thinking I'd like a romantic liaison with the actress playing the granny


Wtf :shock:

    You know you're getting old when....

    You're about to watch the film on TV and you fancy a nice bit of cheese and crackers. So, you head to the fridge and sort out the cheesy comestibles, returning to the lounge carrying plate to watch the film. However, now you can't tune the TV because you've lost the remote. Searching under the cushions doesn't find it, and eventually you sit down a bit more grumpy than usual after fecking about with buttons which are invisible on the TV casing and eat the cheese. At the next ad break, you take the empty plate back to the kitchen and put the cheese back in the fridge. You now find the remote which is in the fridge on top of the butter.


    The older I get, the better I was.

    My arms suddenly appear to be too short for my eyes.
    My head appears to have become too small for my body.
    Caterpillars have moved in on my brow, and a kelp forest has taken root in my nostrils.

    WTF? When did this happen?
    I was just enjoying that new pop group a-Ha a few minutes ago...

    Or when you hand your prescription at the Chemist and ask" Is it ok to pay with my card" and they say " There's no cost sir" " Why" " Because you are over 60"

    Luckily that's about the only thing that still works reasonably well. Although like Slowmart what gets it working these days is a bit questionable.

    Actually no, really enjoyed it. Johnny Rotten still a good show man and it was the full line up that are still alive. Was a bit too young to see them first time round so had nothing to compare to anyway.

    Must say that I felt rather 'meh' about the experience. Was also too young to see them in their prime. Perhaps the intervening years had blunted the edges for me.

    Still, much better than seeing the Dead Kennedys without Jello though...

    Or The Jam without Weller.

    Best band I've seen lately are SLF (twice).

    Discussing Never Mind the Bollokcs in the pub just now and one of the guys produced his credit card with Never Mind the Bollokcs album cover artwork. That's all kinds of wrong, imagine if you told them they would be the subject of a credit card design.

    Although a Dead Kennedys credit card might be interesting. TLW could pay for his round using a card with 'Too drunk to f***' splashed across it :)
