I like to take the edge off a Magnum lolly with a quick ten second blast in the microwave.
On two occasions recently I've pressed the minute button inadvertently and stood there like a tit in a trance. I then have to pour my Magnum down the sink. Very distressing. I worry I'm turning into Unlucky Alf.
My wife and I have the opposite of a “safe word” for when I get old!
We agreed that on the day I come home and say “You know, I really like the look of the new Renault Kangoo” is the day she has me put in an old folks’ home! 😂😂😂
Christ, I've just bought myself a lawn scarifier and a new sprinkler for the hose rather than use the 20 year old cast off hand me downs I've had from the parents.

Aaarrrrrgggghhhh, I'm properly middle aged now!
TBF I’m 36 and have been googling Lawn Scarifiers. My lawn is terrible. Doesn’t say much for me 😂

You're looking at a 240 year old watercolour painting of an old Woolwich scene with your Mum and realise she has been around for nearly 100 years of that timespan!
Sandby documented a lot of London in the 1780s. This one of Charlton too.
Wow. Amazing to think - that could quite possibly be the East Terrace and the people are on where the pitch is now.
Far more Horse Shit on it these days.
Those were the days, going out after the horses of traders went by with a shovel and a bucket, to collect horse shit for my dads rhubarb. Needless to say, a long time after this picture was painted 🤣
I'm wondering how I made it into my seventies without a toaster that I could control with my phone...
And technology is rapidly getting the better of me.
As a 70th birthday present I bought us a coffee maker that can controlled by my mobile, read the instructions but still can’t find out how you can get the cup under without getting up out the chair to go into the kitchen? (no you can’t put it under during the day as it rinses itself prior to making a lovely cup of coffee.)

You bought “us”, so you’re married? I think all us male old gits know the answer to that and would have bought HER a kettle 😉

............. you study old paintings down to the tiniest details.
Seriously though, that can't be The Thames in the distance; it doesn't look like a river. Nevertheless it does seem logical seeing as it's downhill.
Are we sure that this isn't a painting of a Charlton somewhere in the USA?😉

And sound like you're sliding into a packet of cheese and onion crisps.

“If you die, will someone else bring the Reading dogs to school, because we love seeing them”

There again being old would you know how to?
