    That's just happened to me without even wishing for it.

    I was told middle aged men should never pass a toilet, never trust a fart and never waste an errection!

    you interview someone for a job and are shocked and a bit disturbed to discover their year of birth starts with a 2 (not that you can ask of course!)

    Phase 1
    When you feel that washed out greys and autumnal colours are more your style.

    Phase 2
    You browse the ads for those straight cut high-waisted trousers from the 1950s and instead of laughing, think they look smart.

    Phase 3
    Light-coloured trousers become off-limits in case of accidents.

    One from this morning; you remember when Matey was a bubble bath.

    You also remember the black water line left after you’d had a bath.

    Just put a new one up this morning (a Brabantia Top Spinner, if any enthusiasts are reading). Possibly the most exciting thing I've done this month!

    You drive any more than 20 minutes and when you get out you’re all achy for a few seconds.

    When your definition of 'an all-nighter' changes to become getting a decent nights sleep without waking up for a slash.

    When you pick up”Stuff” magazine and realise you aren’t interested in any of the contents.

    When you send texts you send them in full English, no abbreviations, and go back to check the grammar is correct before sending.


    (Brilliant thread by the way!)
    So clever my foot fell off.

    I was thinking of going for a hills rotary 6.

    But then, as we know, it's all about the ground spike.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Mate. Don't worry about it. It's something the butler or valet would know about. That's all you need to know.

    Everything is just too damn loud, everything.

    And that territorial thing you do when local kids kick a ball into front garden or someone parks across my drive.....apparently I have an angry face just for those specific circumstances

    Next step, waving fists at passing cars....like my dad.

    When you respond to this post saying I’ve got one of those and it’s excelent quality... I’d recommend the metal spear to drive into the ground to support as it works rather well...

    I nearly got in a fight the other day telling two idiots who had a crash that children play in the area, lots of bad language and arm waving, but the middle age man part was when I realised I had my slippers in my hand whilst having the barny!

    I cant sit here typing all night as I have some plants to water..

    To be fair, that is still a more preferable scenario to my mind than sitting on someone else's testicles.
