    I find I need a sit down after compiling a list of things that require a sit down afterwards.

    When you been wondering why so many people are bothered about Methvan being an old Evertonian only to find out its Etonian 🤷‍♂️
  • Thought I'd get ahead of the curve when buying a birthday card recently. 

    I quickly checked the calendar to stock up on the next few months worth.  The list included children aged 7, 8, 10 and 13.  Bought the cards - now about to send the first one - only to belatedly realise they'll be 8, 9, 11 and 14.   :/

    I was getting like that but have stopped the tea and coffee and just have caffeine free coffee now. Makes a lot of difference.

    Oh boy, I was watching that Detectorists programme the other day and nearly fell off my chair when I found out that I'm older than Toby Jones.

    Programme was fucking dull. Enough material for a standard 25 minute show dragged out to make a Christmas special.

    As  someone in their early 40s working in marketing, I am already an old man in the office.  Today, I am going to a 100th birthday party so will seem positively spritely!

    I guess it's all relative 😀
  • 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!
