You ‘wring out your flannel’ when you’ve no willing volunteer to ‘paint the skirting board’ with.
I’ve developed a whole new sexual language from this thread!6 -
Walking down Roupell Street on my way to Waterloo and somebody has got a coal fire going in one of those terraced houses (you’ve probably seen them even if you haven’t been down there because there’s filming going on from time to time for period dramas) and it stinks and I wondered how bad it must have been when we were kids, especially before they brought in the clean air act, when ever house had a coal fire.

And of course you know you’re getting old when you start to think of the times you’d collect chestnuts from Greenwich park as a kid and then roast them on the open coal fire at home0

When you had your notice in and people assume you are going to retire.

When you start wearing your running trainers with office attire for the commute, I swore I’d never do this when I was younger but my word it’s comfy.6

When the first thing you do when you get up in the morning/come into the house is get your slippers.1

And the honest answer is I’m a bit of a poser who’d rather wear a decent pair of loafers around the office that slowly butcher your feet than a comfy pair from the likes of next or river island. At least on the commute I go in early enough that hardly anyone sees me. So short answer, I’m an idiot.0 -
You can think of a worse Charlton side than the current one.3

Last night I went to my local pub. It was very hot and crowded in there and I was overdressed (as in too many layers, I wasn't wearing a dinner jacket or anything like that). After a while I felt so hot and sweaty, I felt that I needed a change. I only live around the corner so at an opportune moment I sneaked out, ran home, had a quick wash and changed into a new t-shirt. I didn't want to get hot and bothered again, so I didn't bother with a jumper or coat.
Five minutes later and feeling as fresh as a daisy, I was walking back to the pub. As I got to the top of my road, two young women were walking the other way. On seeing me one of them turned to the other and said, "Cor"! I was impressed, 'the old magic's still there' I thought to myself. Then she continued her not so quiet conversation, "Cor, look at that old man. He's only got a t-shirt on, he must be freezing".14 -
Probably burning the furniture, as they can’t afford the energy bills.letthegoodtimesroll said:Walking down Roupell Street on my way to Waterloo and somebody has got a coal fire going in one of those terraced houses (you’ve probably seen them even if you haven’t been down there because there’s filming going on from time to time for period dramas) and it stinks and I wondered how bad it must have been when we were kids, especially before they brought in the clean air act, when ever house had a coal fire.0 -
According to Right Move the average house price in Roupell Street is £1,214,000. I think if you can afford that,then a bag of coal is not going to be a problem!0

When you go away with the lads, your roomie slips on a pair of slippers and instead of the rest of you brutally abusing him, you all look on with an air of jealousy14

I was on a bus a few days ago. There were a few empty seats, but as I was only going about five stops I decided to stand.
A twenty-something bloke looked up from his phone and asked me if I wanted to sit down in his seat. I declined his polite offer, but died a little inside.

Thinking about the Stanley game and the decision was already made, cab from station to ground is a certainty.0

I was walking up the stairs this evening and remembered that it was time to take my pill and I was quite excited.5

But your pills are downstairs.4

When someone walks into a pub and her jeans have loads of holes. I think “can’t she afford a new pair?” or “I’d get a refund if they’re newish”; she seems to think they’re ok.0

When it’s a Friday night, and rather than looking forward to going out to a pub or club, you’re excited, because you found a new as yet unwatched episode of ‘Worlds Most Scenic Railway journeys’ showing the Alpine delights of Austria, ’
Pure filth, it shouldn’t be legal!!4
