    You remember Richard O'Sullivan as the cool 'Man about the house' living with two gorgeous girls.

    Then a cruel reality check takes place when he pops up in today's papers, chatting to Meghan Markle, in the Royal Variety residential nursing and care home.

    Looks like he’s enjoying the nursing home, bang on the gear.
    Thanks, I've just asked Mrs TCE to get me a change of clothes! ;)

    Glad to see I'm not old then

    Brought my son a Football the other day, was doing some work in the garden yesterday afternoon and noticed the ball to the side so started kicking it against the wall trying to do some keepy uppies and seeing if I could beat my target of 2!!

    The wait continues

    When "a new Thai place" opens round the corner from you, and you're disappointed is a massage parlour rather than a restaurant.

    You drive to the Vets for an appointment and realise you forgot to bring your dog!
    The dog drives you to the doctors.

    Getting old is one thing, but there is no need to depress yourself as well.

    Yep. Whilst I have done the same myself at times, it doesn't do to dwell.

    When you're glad it's raining because it means you don't have to water the garden.

    Wondering how soon you should start drinking the really good bottles in the wine rack instead of generally sticking to the ones that come with a supermarket meal deal

    There's an old French saying:

    If you want to be happy for a day, get a haircut

    If you want to be happy for a year, get a wife

    If you want to be happy for life, get a garden
