    When you are sitting on the sofa, feel hungry or thirsty, and you have to weigh up exactly how thirsty or hungry in order to decide whether its worth the effort to get up. Normally I don't bother unless I also need a visit to the loo.

    A young twenty something went to sit down in a priority seat on the tube, saw me getting on and offered me the seat - politely declined but i was almost annoyed by it, strange.

    You know you’re getting old when it takes you 6 minutes from taking the picture to posting it on CL
  • A few weeks ago I went to the bowls club to watch my mother in law in a final. When arriving a lady started showing me where to get changed thinking I was in the bowling team.  I was fuming. My wife didn’t stop laughing

    You've been busy putting up security cameras as well. ;-)
    I plugged mine into my living room tv in one of the HDMI slots. I seldom watch them, nothing ever new on them.

    We monitor the dogs in the house and garden it’s nice to where they are and what they are up too, it would drive us mad connected to the tv. 
    I didn’t install them, the guy fitting the alarm did it for me. 
  • You finally bite the bullet and go for a hearing test. And then you're told you have a reverse slope. All downhill from now on  guess! 🤷

    Depends on which way it’s sloping, surely. It could be all uphill from now on

    You completely forget that your team has an important fixture in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy and only when you log on to Charlton Life out of habit do you find out that they won 3-0.
