Getting older (NB)

[wishbone]

You know when your getting older when:
The Docks in east london where your dad worked and I played are turned into yuppy flats
the houses vallance road and bethnal green you lived in are buldozed flat for progress and roads no longer exist..
and Iv'e just heard that the Odeon in mile end road is to be demolished!!
All those saturday morning films I used to watch in the fifties

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Yes I used to live in Canning Town and East Ham........Can't believe they hold the boat show now in North Woolwich...The stories I could tell about that place.

Bit like the flats that over look Gosport marina.....years ago back in the sixty's you couldn't have paid people to live there (Bronx of Gosport!) Now they are sought after. If only the wealthy owners knew that half of the U.S navy used to visit there for ladys of the night! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

You are getting old when you wake up with a hangover having gone to bed early, with no drink the evening before.

 

[ShipsWoofy]

You spend all week planning a bonfire on Sunday
You stop at a Greenwoods to look
You buy jeans at Marks and Spencer
You think it is time you travelled in splendour and look at caravans
You listen to radio 4 all the time
You really do read the articles in jazz mags
You look at girls out at night and think they must be freezing
You stop being interested in every function on you new gadget, you just want to make telephone calls or record corry, the million other functions are too difficult to master.
You get bored half way through your own sentences
You keep all your Christmas cards to ensure that the only ones who get one next year bothered with you this year.
You start collecting little ornaments and buy a presentation case

Can't say if I have experienced that yet!......Still must be cheap eh? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

The grandchildren will not let me go on their skateboard

You know you are getting older whn you dont get embarassed any more on noticing your fly is open in mixed company.

When you're sitting up at 1.33am reading e-mails!

Getting old is inevitable...............

Growing up is optional!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[powerskipper]

EEERRR
Whats growing up?????

 

[Sans Bateau]

Don't worry about it Julie, It's what borring people do, apparently.

 

[powerskipper]

Oh thought I had missed something /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Rowana]

As I told my former work mates when I retired -

I'm off to grow old disgracefully ! !

You will only miss it after it has happened, but then it will be too late!
But, the worst thing about getting old is not just that policemen look younger, but your youngest son is one of them!
