You know when you're getting old when......

[Grumpybear]

Did you read about Noah?

MIke.

Ah yes. Clearly we are doing the right thing. I have found that, generally, if you appear to be going a different way to everyone else you have nothing to worry about.

You know when you're getting old when ..... you find nothing worth watching on the Tele .... to the point you decide not to have a Tele to prevent wasting any more of your precious time!

You know when you're getting old when you remember the time when people could be funny without resorting to bad language...and you know when you're getting old when bad language was bad language - and not strong language!

Wimmin!

I think I do know 'who these people are'. That's why I would rather have my eyeballs sandpapered than watch Red Nose Day.

BTW I got caught for a donation this year by a mean and petty trick played by SWMBO. I came into the living room at 2230, intending to watch Newsnight but she was still watching RND and refused to turn it off. I said I'd make a donation if she let me watch Newsnight. She agreed and I handed over the money, only to find that RND was on BBC2 and Newsnight had been postponed until it finished. In spite of my protests she refused to return the money; which I thought was rather mean of her.

You must be newly married if you fell for that one! Once they have the money it's gone for good. No refunds given!

Thank you for that one!

I don't understand this one!

Why quote me when I didn't use bad or strong language?

Blondie is still 100 times better than 1 Direction, although my daughter dissagrees on tha point.

And really really old when you try to decide which one you'd want..............

Don't worry, our Club has a whole unofficial "wing" of camper van 'Senior' Ralliers who meet up in their campers where they used to meet up in their boats all over Europe and even Shap Fell

How did they get their boats up Shap Fell?

I know I'm getting old as..........

I no longer want to tack so often just for the fun of practising it 'til we get good.


I sailed right accross the Irish Sea with my fenders still sitting on the side deck, ropes attached to the safety wires and hadn't noticed ..... evidence.....

I prefer to let the crew or tiller pilot or windvane do the steering as much as possible.

I get as much pleasure from doing modifications on the boat as i do sailing her.

I've let my son borrow the boat to do the Round The Island Race with his pals.

I have to get up at 4a.m. to have a pee and can't get back to sleep....

I worked with people last summer who were born after I started my chosen career. One (admittedly very dippy) even asked me if I remembered when Hitler was around (it was my 41st birthday)!

And then want an afternoon nap? It's all part of second infancy, like having thin hair, fewer teeth, etc... It's just those wrinkles that give us away!

You know you are getting old when a pretty girl on the tube looks at you for a while with a speculative eye, then smiles and says

"Would you like this seat?"

You know you are old when you're grateful!

When you start worrying whether people get hurt in the "You've been framed" TV program.

 

[Ex-SolentBoy]

You realise that everyone in the governmental Cabinet is younger then you are.

You are REALLY old when this doesn't worry you.
