    Getting on a double decker bus and desperately scanning for free seats on lower deck
    nearly 50 now and on the rare occasion I get on a bus, I still like to be upstairs at the front
    I’m 53 and I still have to get a seat right at the front of a DLR train so I can pretend I’m the driver 😃

    Oh yeah, I work in Stratford and frequently walk to Stratford International so I can be first on the DLR :smiley:

    Whenever I come down for a match if i get on one of those at night im amazed someone pissed up for a laugh doesn’t chuck the driver off and nick the train !! Im 100% certain that in my youth a few of mates would have done that

    I appreciate this is "old" by the standards of someone who's 30 - so I fully expect to be told off by all you old codgers ;) - but the sun baby from the Teletubbies is now expecting a baby of her own.

    At the Madonna concert on Saturday, I was delighted that the people in front of me didn’t turn up so I didn’t have to stand when everybody else did…it’s me poor old back!

    Well I never knew she’d been married to both Rod and Freddy (not at the same time of course).

    Unlikely you would have got released on temporary license on a Sunday anyway. Enjoy your roast though I’m sure they’re both nice guys.

    When you try to switch off the vacuum by pressing the off/on switch twice, only to realise Mrs TCE is using the blaster to dry the dogs and that’s what I can hear. 😳😂

    Talking to someone you've just met and unconsciously assuming you're about the same age until it soon transpires that you're old enough to be their father...

    Things that make you feel old


    Popped into the Museum today to drop off an old badge ... then realised a lot of the wonderful historical items on show I personally remember !

    (I hadn't been for a while and was well worth a revisit)

    Celebrity versions of things on telly, eg Pointless. I tend not to realise they are celebrity versions, and once it's pointed out to me I spend the rest of the programme asking "who the fuck is that?"
