    When it gets to 9 pm anywhere in the world and you want to go to bed (for sleep), I'm currently in Beijing, its 9 pm and I'm knackered......oh and Ive been wearing slippers all day even when going round shopping mall with such stores as Lois Verton(? sp), Banbury etc.

    Red, I think that's more to do with the pollution. I was knackered the 3 days I was there 2 weeks ago. I had no energy at all.

    Changing your 911 for a Panamera as the ride is a bit softer - 1st world problems!

    That and the fact @Redmidland will be 133 next birthday. ;)

    Wierdly, I think it hit me when I was in casualty at Queen Marys for some running repairs...the triage nurse took my details and rung them through, when I heard her say "male, 56 years" I nearly said "bloody hell love, keep it down!". Better than the alternative I suppose.

    Haven't got a clue what that means. Thanks for making me feel young again!

    You can choose about 8 different Glastonbury sets to watch on BBC channels and the red button, and you choose.....

    Having slipped away from a neighbours party, I've found myself feet up with decent bottle of red , watching a pink Floyd dvd , musical choice optional.

    All those around you can figure out the bastard that is Kodi, but you just don't seem to be able to get it!?

    I'm sure it's very simple, but it doesn't seem it and I work in app and web user interface improvements!

    I am with you Dazz, my son has it and he often shows me a demonstration when I visit, however 10 minutes into the demo he is still booting things up and searching for an outlet/app that is showing what he wants to demo.

    Free view for me and downloads from Pirate Bay for everything that is on Sky.

    Some of my mates who had kids young now being dropped off at the pub for Monday club and driven home by those same kids

    Being as excited driving my pretty rapid car and hitting 70mpg on a long run as I used to get hitting 100mph in my boy racing yobbo youth in a hatchback

    Thinking about the healing properties of cannabis as a reason for legalisation as opposed to thinking how smoking some Thai superskunk and laughing my swingers off to Pingu was a good enough reason to decriminalise the plant

    Not eating or drinking certain things because of a morbid fear of heartburn

    Looking at one of my chief pest controllers (massive fat cat) sleeping on his back snoring his head off and feeling really envious of his lifestyle and priorities

    Clearing entire days in preparation for hangovers

    Now this one isn't an old thing, or even a getting old thing and I'm certain I've mentioned it before but sitting my arse down over a porcelain bowl first thing in the morning and easing out and crimping off a nice, long, smooth, tapered shite out of my dung button. One that leaves you feeling like sooty after Matthew Corbett takes his sweaty hand out of him following filming of an omnibus. Then giving a totally unnecessary wipe of the balloon-knot to confirm that the stool left me so cleanly a mere kiss with the Andrex will suffice. As opposed to the more violent, squirty, unpredictable, obnoxious movements I'm being treated to in the morning currently.

    Wondering if I will eve r have a hardish shit again or am I destined for 5 sloppy guiseppies Aday


    Realising I probably have less than ten world cups left to watch

    On the up side, you’re doing well to get 5 in.

    As for the World Cups, you know that it will be 1/4 final at best for England in that time.

    I'm hoping for 5 but expect only 4, or 3.

    Actually, it wasn’t until the beginning of December......down my way.

    The countdown to Christmas began AFTER firework night.

    The only way to countdown to xmas is an advent calendar.
