I've just taken MrFB into town and bloody hell, how old do I feel now? They all look about 12 years old and all dressed up in clothes that would be perfectly suitable for a swinging party :shock:
I found myself thinking 'I wouldn't let my daughter out of the house looking like that!' then I found my self thinking 'shit my mother would have said that - I am my mother!' :shock:
What makes you feel older?
Well if its any concilation even i look at some of the kids about at the moment and think *in my day....* :shock:
I didnt think i was old, but I've just found out I'm going to be a grandma, so i must be :cry:
Congratulations Amanda :cheers: But trust me you don't need to be a grandma to feel old. Just had to go down the (outside) stairs and it took me about 5 minutes for 12 steps ....now THATS old :violin:
Hey dont forget you are old as u feel wink wink.

I'm lucky in that I work with old people so they all think I'm young. I think the common description is "nice, young man"
However I recently visited a customer and spotted a wargamming magazine on the table. Not hers she explained, she bought it for her grandson. I laughed and explained that a friend of mine had bought the first edition of the magazine when we were at school. My eye then saw 'celebrating 30 years of wargamming' print across the cover. :shock:
OMG I left school nearly 30 years ago :shock: :shock: :shock:
Old??
The Male Doctor on Embarrassing illnesses is a bit of alright, this week he stripped off his top on a beach to reveal a 6 pack………………… carried out a google search to find he is 29!! Ffs.
I commented ‘I wonder if he is a swinger’
I got back ‘ if he is you can meet for a drink only!!’ ffs
:shock:
Hi All
I have been going grey since I was 16, I have come to terms with this a long time ago.
The last few years I have started thinning on top, not a problem my Dad lost his at an earlier age than me so I was sort of expecting it.
I have realised that I have started to say the same phrases as my parents.
They say that you know you are getting old when the police officers look younger than you - I have noticed this recently.
I become frustrated with the 16 year old shop assistants that appear not to know basic customer service skills. I started work at 16, was I never like that???? was I?????
However the most recent thing was that I was running a training course with a mixture of male and females. The youngest was 18 and the oldest was 28. The youngest were two attractive girls. Now you could say I was perving at them but they were the worst behaved members of the course sitting giggling and causing general nuisance. They took a lot of work and all I could think of was 'stop being stupid little girls'
Then it hit me, At 34, soon to be 35 (July) I was the oldest in the room and I was probably feeling the same way as my tutors did at when I was 18!
But saying that I don't really care about getting old I have worked with other 18 year olds who have had a very mature attitude and I have have worked with older people with a immature attitude.
So I have decided if I want to be a grumpy old man I will do or if I want to live it a up a bit I will do.
Brgds Rod - part time grumpy old man!
