Age is nothing, well thats what I keep telling myself especially when my daughter asks how do you know the words to a song when its a new song but its not, its an old song rejigged.
When I catch a quick glimpse of myself and dont think its me ( in a mirror or window ) When I cant help 15 year old with homework cos we dont do it like that mum !!
When in less than 4 years I will be 60, noooooo way.

[if they're the same type of phone, i.e. both nokias or samsungs or hwatever, they come with software and hopefully a usb cable. If they do, you can either download the software or install it on your computer, then transfer all files to computer from one phone, then plug in the other one and transfer to new phone. If they aren't, ignore all the above]

anyway....my partner said to me the day before yesterday, "I'm getting old, I don't understand this music nowadays' or words to that effect. I told he was being silly, it was a band that gone through the hardcore/grindcore manual and ticked all the boxes of what it's supposed to sound like, but forgotten you need talent to make it sound good, or at least enthusiasm, of which they had none...

[p.s. I think I'm fooling myself......I probably am old, but I'm not going gentle

I have 3 wonderful sons, and a lovely daughter. When they were younger, I always used to make them walk on the inside of the pavement, as you do. Now, when we go out, they deliberately shuffle me to the inside. When we had snow, my eldest boy came round to clear our path!!! My eldest grandson wanted to know what it was like DURING THE WAR!!! He found out how fast the 'old fossil' could move!

I find it worrying that most Police Officers, Doctors and other 'Professionals' look like they should still be in school....

Oooh - that must have stung! Still, they sound nice considerate boys - You don't want to risk "A Fall"!
Have you noticed that too? When you were younger if you hit the floor you described it as " tripping up" or "going a purler", but now it's "A Fall". Capital A, capital F!!

[Polly Fouracre]

Zebedee, my son used to ask me, did they have that when you were alive, Mum!!

[zebedee]

What makes it EVEN worse is my youngest son - 22 - will actually take me by the arm and move me to the inside!!! I invited him to a fight! He said, 'yeah, ok Dad, but what am I going to do with my other hand!!!'

At work we have a quick way to sort the older staff from the younger ones. It's do you remember "Crackerjack?" Cracker what? puts you in the younger group. I can remember it so I'm older at 43!

I first realised I was getting old when I bought a car, and was more concerned with how fast it would stop, than how fast it would go.

So..I'm...err...(thinks bother it's after April so I must be a year older then) 51, with the attitude of a teenager, the sense of humour of a sophisticated 5 year old, and a set of muscles normally found on builder's labourers.
I wouldn't swop if anyone paid me, with two exceptions
If it was over a million quid
Or if I could swop the trapped nerve in my neck for one that isn't

[snohare]

I'm older & better looking









than Rick Wakeman.

Isn't everyone ??

Sorry, I'm not managing to keep up here. Senior moments y'know.

I find it worrying that most Police Officers... look like they should still be in school...

Yes, a bobby that young is an arresting sight. But they're not too young to cuff you if you give them cheek !
