    When you accidentally stumble across some porn on Twitter and you’re disgusted
    ‘Accidentally’ yeah right.
  • When you can remember the day DFS didn't have a sale.

    Day before their first store opened?

    I wouldn't mind but I thought I looked good for my age.
    Obviously not :'(
    You must have one of those mirrors that the evil queen had in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs mate ‘Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?’ 😉.
  • You start to like F1.

    45 years of not giving a sh*t about cars going vroom vroom, yet within a few months you’re borderline Clarkson 
    Get yourself a farm mate and go for it 😉.

  • I consider myself reasonably financially astute but look at the Crypto thread and realise I haven't an effing clue what anyone is on about!

  • This morning I sent 4 messages to my family Whatsapp group - none of which have merited a response from my nearest and dearest. 

    I have realised for a while that I talk to myself more and more as I age, but now it seems I'm also doing it by text.   :|

    My boys hardly ever respond to what’s app messages on our group, unless they are talking amongst themselves. The only time of late that they did reply was a week ago when I asked for some ideas on what they want for Christmas. All 3 replied “Money” not even a please. I’ve since left said what app group and no mention of it from them. . They will get their money ..:.£1 each. That will we teach them for buying me presents like lynx Africa and cheap aftershave called….Bondage (one of them actually did that a few years ago), no doubt purchased from some shitty market. 
    A friend of mine who was always generous with presents got fed up with the ungrateful greed from his church going family, so he bought each family member their own ‘goat for Africa’. Lovely picture of ‘their’ goat and updates going forward presented after Christmas lunch.
    Apparently Christmas pud was a quiet event.
    I like his style.

    The final update they got must have gone down even worse. I remember having a goat curry in Abuja once, very nice it was too though having to spit out the grissle and chopped up bones that were thrown into the dish did take away some of the enjoyment.

    Blessed with naturally good looks, I've never felt the need to worry too much about clothes or fashion. I'm sure those Lifers that know me would be able to testify to the second part of that, if not the first. Anyway, as I've aged, I've found that my minimal interest in matters sartorial has diminished to the point of complete indifference; I simply couldn't give a fuck about what I look like. It's a wonderful place to get to, so liberating. My clothes choice criteria are strictly limited to, what's available, what's comfortable, what's clean? And if the truth be known, the third of those is increasingly looking like a restriction too far. Considerations like, 'does this match' and 'does this look old fashioned' and even 'is this appropriate' have gone out of the window. My current attire of choice is jogging bottoms with hiking boots. Just a year ago this combination would have been unthinkable, but now I revel in the devil may care sense of independence that such a pairing gives. I'm very much looking forward to the summer though to try out the fabled sock/sandal amalgam, it looks ideal for a man like me. There are some real benefits to old age.
    Just restrain yourself if you develop a liking for salmon coloured slacks.

    You’re probably better at football than him though.
