    When someone overtakes you at 71 mph on a motorway and you mumble 'mad idiots' under your breath.
    When a motorist in front of you does something stupid and you see he has grey hair and think, old git too old to be driving, then realise, he is probably younger than you

    How much do you pay for that?
    It was free, I only joined a new camera club.  ;)  
  • When an evening game means pushing back your bedtime to an unearthly hour
  • You have to have a camera inserted up your bum twice in a week, all trace of dignity gone.

    It does beg the question, is this the same camera, or is there a selection?

    Still, the You Porn fees help pay for comfy cushions and endless werthers
  • When, within 30 seconds, you can correctly guess 10 of the 11 players that Charlton fielded against Huddersfield in 1964, but you can only remember about two of the team that played in a game two years ago.
    Can I have a go?
    Rose, Hewie, Kinsey, Bailey, Haydock, Tocknell, Kenning, Matthews, Firmani, Edwards, Glover.
    I think we played that side in almost every game, with Peacock, Durandt getting in occasionally.
    I couldn't name the 2 years ago team either!

    This team is engrained in memory for me. v Cardiff City Octber 26 1963 Won 5-2.

    When you forget your phone and the first thing you think of is, calling your wife to ask her to bring it and meet me at the school. 🤷‍♂️

    I asked for the thinnest one they had but judging on how much my eyes were watering they did not listen.  B)

    I wanted the name of a magician to illustrate something or another I was talking about. The first name that came to mind was David Nixon (I just looked him up, he died in 1978).

    Have to think more seriously to hire a sun lounger when on holiday instead of lying on a beach towel. Trying to turn over or to get up is now a mammoth and somewhat painful ordeal.

    When you used to attract yourself to ‘lively’ characters because they might be fun, you now avoid them like the plague as they might be trouble.

    I'm going to a Halloween party at the weekend. I felt really old when I finally had to admit that my body shape was no longer suitable to go as Nosferatu. And even older when I told my wife I might go as Uncle Fester to which she replied, "oh yes, that's much more you"!

    Just the thought of going to a party seems dreadful, but that’s probably just me…

    My friend hosted a 70’s party last weekend. Everyone dressed up like Noddy Holder and John Travolta. It started early and went on until late. The music was too loud.. Thankfully, they had a quiet room
  • In my mind I'm 'only 53' but sadly the mileage is very high, this year as the temperature has dropped my hip has got bloody achey.

    I would much prefer a late start and early finish!

    I went to my last one 6 years ago.

    I don't mind the actual ceremony, but I detest the waste of money that is the reception (even as a guest).
