    I was only reminiscing recently (probably) about having to hard code routing into the headers of emails such that each night's step would take it closer to the recipient...

    When I emailed my mate in the States, I would write to him to tell him to expect an email soon... and the snailmail would always arrive before the email.

    Tell that to the kids of today...

    I find myself more drawn to the home wares section of TK Maxx than the fashion aisles...
    So clever my foot fell off.

    You are at a festival and see an attractive young girl with huge breasts & can only say "I bet she's going to have back problems"

    ..... yes I said exactly that

    I've been saying that for years when questioned what I was staring at by the wife

    When you attend an Rugby Colts pre-season training session and tut every time one of the lads swear.

    When you get excited about buying and using your new lawn mower.

    When you get a huge sense of achievement because you fixed the toilet cistern (changed the washers and added silicon grease).

    When you stop worrying that your wife earns more than you do

    I had a curry with my bank manager recently, and after ten minutes of comparing hearing aids we agreed that the best of our years were over.

    When you're watching something on TV and notice that the wallpaper in their room is Anaglypta RD125.

    ...your colleague proudly sends you a photo of his new and rather elegantly proportioned girlfriend sunbathing in her bikini, and you proudly respond with a photo of your new and rather elegantly proportioned bicycle mudguards.

    To those that PM'd me for candid photos, it wouldn't be proper to post anything too revealing. Here's a modest one to keep you going:
