Default Realising you are getting old

It happend to me today..........

I was following a brand new car........... A new model... and have to say it was good looking. What was it i hear you ask !



It was the new Volvo, Estate and there was a saloon in front of that too !

It looked stunning on the road. Is it time for a eye test ? Have i really stepped in to the shoes of an old man?



Someone help me, or at least put me to sleep. I dont want to go to the next stage of life and start wetting myself.


PS Im only 30....... all be it an old 30 !

Nah.. It's when you think that a tartan shopping bag on wheels would be a really sensible presnt for the missus - and she agrees!

(PS I haven't reached that stage myself!)

I went to a friends funeral a couple of weeks back.

Met his daughter after not seeing her for 9 years (long story), but for the 9 years I knew her we were proper close.

She told me she was 18 next month............no way, I nearly fell over.

I remember holding her when she was 2 hrs old, and the nurse saying,
" Give her back to her Mum, shes going to get drunk from the fumes off your breath. "

Feels like only a couple of years back.

That made me feel old.

And ******* sad, sad as **** infact, I hate funerals !

How depressing.



This post has pi55ed me off.

I now feel the need to smash someone's face in....

Hello

A young girl (about 10) got up and offered me a seat yesterday.

I really felt old, I was 35 three days ago.

I remember being 21 and I met one of my pupils in the video store with his mum and dad. He shouted, theres Mr Smith - me being his teacher.

They were about 30-35 and were calling me Mr Smith - haha! Bloody hell, did I feel old and young at the same time

Now I'm 33 - have some of those weird grey hairs that only seem to show when they are longer than your normal hair - are the wee buggers in stealth mode or summit? Got nasal hair just recently - and I like caravans.

The end is nigh

The definitive occurence that shows you are getting old is that when you go for a pee and you are squeezing the last few drops of pi55 out, your sphincter relaxes so much that you fart the older you get the louder and slacker the fart

Beware, this is the sign
