for the maximum socially acceptable limit, just use the columns the other way round

when do we start bragging about how socially unacceptable we are?

there hasn't been a decent bit of willy-waving for ages

You can remember when Serpico didn't moan about most of the 8a's in Yorkshire being only 7c+ on his scale  :tease:

one gigabyte was a fucking huge number, properly huge like a million billion pounds

Never minnd that, how about when the £2,000 for landing on the hotel on Mayfair was the target annual salary for what your dad wanted to retire on

  • Getting fatter, not fitter.
I have it on reliable -medical - authority that Fatdoc's diarrhoea always has dipthongs in it.
You know you're old when instead of taking great delight in being provocative and shocking others is a great game, you quietly rationalise that you're pretty well unshockable/seen it all anyway. (I'm not going to mention any names but I bet Fatdoc knows what I mean).

If you're [sic] diorrhœa's got dipthongs inn it you need to seek urgent medical advice. Like immediately. As in now.

I told my 15yr old cousin to "put a donk on it". She told me that I couldn't say that because I was old. I'm 32, but feeling 60. And I burned her with my laser vision for upsetting me.

One thing I've noticed as I age is that there are more and more members of the opposite sex whom I find attractive. :whistle:

- and when you know what "half your age plus seven" means ...



How bizzare that I should hear about this from two different and unrelated sources within a couple of days.

When you realise that Primal Scream's - Screamadelica came out 20 years ago.

When you remember thinking when it was first released - The Stones did it so much better, good but not a patch on Exile on Main Street.

And you can remember your mate in Beris telling you he's been climbing a lot with this lad who'd just got really good, Johnny somebody-or-other, but he was a bit cocky.
On flashing Sonic Sinbin 'It was quite hard - I nearly fell of it! :)'  Strange to think E4 was quite tricky once.

Or dossing in Parisellas with the likes of Basher, Jerry, Pollitt, Phil Kelly, Tim Freeman all hanging out there, Leachy and Mick Johnston just passing through, and Jerry's second ascent of Statement .This  this nails it for me though- being so keen after three days in the cave we didn't know what was past Firefly wall because with so much climbing to do we couldn't find the time to walk round the corner!

.... more from the gloom of middle age...

- your eldest is taller than you

- his feet are bigger

- you have to stand up and try when you ride up a hill together

- you pack an ultrasound machine & some acupunture needles when off to font

- the junior drs that are starting are young enough to be your offspring

Or possibly an open top sports car?

That picture was taken shortly before Jay Kay had lagers arrested for breaking onto his estate and attempting to smear his naked buttocks on the upholstery of every one of "the twat in the hat"'s prestige car collection.
