    When you didn't know you could do that.

    You go out in the car, get about a mile down the road, wonder what the warning light on the dash is and realise you’ve left the tailgate open.

    The players I grew up watching are all managers at this tournament. Quite depressing.

    When you can still remember all the lyrics to " Cool For Cats " , but can't remember the reason why you went upstairs.

    When you go upstairs despite living in a bungalow.

    When you remember sir Tom Moore when he was Private Tommy Moore.

    Most of the players I grew up watching are dead.

    This happened before lockdowns existed...........
    A child completed his Reading with the dog........ "Can I ask a question"
    Me .............. Of course.
    Child......... My Mum wants to know how old you are 
    Me ............ *puffing out chest and feeling good* Why would your Mum want to know how old I am?
    Child............. So she can tell my Nan!!

    You did not have to tell them your correct age, you should have said you were 55.

    When England score and you are one of the few not jumping up and down and hugging strangers.

    "Meanwhile, the government said that the deal will allow Britons under the age of 35 to travel and work in Australia more freely."

    I'm too old to benefit from this - I'm only 41, consider myself a recent school leaver, and behave exactly the same as I did when I was 18.


  • Woke up this morning and noticed these two flowers side by side on the pumpkin plant. 

    Closer inspection revealed the one on the right to be male and the one on the left female.  I dutifully pollinated the female using the male and felt quite pleased with myself ... until it dawned on me that it is the only procreation action I get nowadays.  :/


  • Watching the Croatia vs Czech Republic game yesterday and one of your children says 'these players look very young'

    Realising that yesterday was the 60th anniversary of the death of my great grandfather and vividly recalling the news being broken to us at the time.

    When you read a comment on here, finding yourself nodding away in agreement throughout, get to the bottom of the post and give it a like.

    And then realise it was something you had previously posted yourself on here :-)

    You see a group of lads in the supermarket toiletries section discussing which is the best moisturiser. And then one says to another you’ve got fantastic skin.

    Pre planning. A wise move when you’re getting old! 🤔

    You can’t keep up to date with footballers and see Lilian Thuram’s son playing for France (or Yohann Thuram’s cousins son to put a Charlton spin on it).

    You’re glad a game goes to penalties, but you do worry how the extra 20 mins are going to impact on your tiredness levels tomorrow!

    You're amazed at how old Didier Deschamps looks and when you google it you find out he's four years younger than you.
