    When climbing into your trousers is hazardous.
  • When you think you can remember Charlton bearing the spanners, but you’re not too sure.

    When you see these old people, then find out they're ten years younger than you are.

    When names from the past that you'd expect to have forgotten pop into your head.

    We had a quiz last night. One of the answers was Troy McClure,  but for some reason the name in my head was Troy Tate. I don't even know anyone with that name, so I googled it. It turns out he was in Teardrop Explodes and Fashion (both bands I like). Never knew I knew of him.

    When you suddenly realise that millennium night was 20 years ago... and then you worry that you might not have finished doing all the apologies you need to!
  • Watching Jools last night I casually enquired if the performer was Ragamuffin man.  My son said, 'Do you mean Rag 'n' bone man?'.  'Yeah, that 'im' I said.  'No it ain't,' replied my son.  Turned out he was some other random big geezer.

    Sometimes when I speak I hear my dear departed dad's voice.

    When the fecker mowing the lawn at 9am on a Sunday disturbing everyone's hangover sleep is you.
  • You find episodes of Count Arthur Strong funny.
  • When you watch Six episodes of Mortimer and Whitehead gone fishing back to back, with obligatory Tea and Hobnobs. 
  • The delivery driver carries two boxes with relative ease and I struggle to lift one.

    You watch a rerun of the Michael Caine classic Get Carter and discover that an actress in the film you found 'easy on the eye' back in the day is 80 years old.

    You’re annoyed when you score 1 in the Pointless final having switched from an answer that turns out to be pointless.
  • I heard the crowd singing Southall's name on Saturday and spent a few seconds wondering what Neville ever done for us.  Luckily a gentleman in the opposite stand stood up and waved.

    Not me but my wife interviewed a candidate for a teaching position at her school on Monday and realised that she’d taught her as an infant.

    Not _quite_ so bad, because it was secondary, but a kid I taught was elected as an MP in 2017.

    did that make you proud or question your teaching?

    Given I only taught her for a year, I don't think I can claim any responsibility, and I highly doubt anything she learnt in GCSE Science had any bearing on that particular career path. :-)

    You might want to question your influence as a teacher, depending which party she stood for  :)
