Signs that you are getting on a bit.
When you start calling regular journies a run. You are getting on. I only ever hear or read this term from people over the age of 35.
I.e. the School Run, the Oxford to Cambridge run, the supermarket run.
FFS, you'r not running your driving.

:lol: groan
your on countdown
"EErrruugh up (*bend down) come on my old son (*grab and begin to lift), yuurp urp hup eehhup mi chubby (*lift up past your knees then fudumph on to the table) there we go"
You're critical of other people's grammar.:lol::lol:
Its peoples' fool. :lol:
There's not a lot that makes me feel old, to be honest... but AltaVista closing down (after seventeen years in operation!) came the closest.
Yeah I used to use Altavista as my primary search engine. I remember when I first used Google in 1998. At the time I would still use Altavista regularly, but slowly and increasingly so used Google untill I stoped using Altavista all together.
If they'd have played their cards right they could have been in Google's position now.
*gets coat*
cor I remember that....blimey I am old :-(
Not to wee though, I just really like it in there.
I was thinking, I know what that means - it's the "World Wide Web". Can't believe they've jumped on that bandwagon, surely it's just a passing fad and a waste of precious disk space! :D
Surely not, how un-insightful. I'd have seen it and though wow, what possibilities will they (or can I) invent to make use of this. However, I suppose I can see why in the context of your job or organisations goals you might have thought that.
That also depends on whether what you believe to be fashionable actually is. This is another related problem that comes with the onset of age, typically during the nerrinch phase.
in a lot of cases buying a belt / pulling up their jeans would fix that..
FAIL!
sorry about that old chap. :p
run everyone it's a grammar pedant ! :)
a lot of things are wrong e.g. you can use words like... errm .. video's and videos' (I guess)
- losing your hair,
- needing glasses,
- never running just for the fun of it. When you're younger you run up upward escalators as you are bored by their slow speed, if you have to climb a lot of stairs then you run up them 'just because', you sometimes run to places even though it has no discernable advantage to walking. But when you get older you don't have the energy that is so boundless when you're younger,
- hating many young people, so much so that talking to a pretty, but braindead, late-teenager/twenty-something is painful and not worth any potential result,
- having to pull nostril hair (Only done a couple so far, and thankfully no sign of ear hair :roll:),
- having to sleep every night,
- putting on weight, even though you eat (probably) the same as you did when you were younger. Of course back then you (a) needed more calories as you were growing, and (b) even when you stopped growing you had a young person's metabolism, unlike the middle-aged every-bloody-calorie-now-goes-towards-making-body-fat metabolism that mother nature, in her infinite gitness decided to curse me with.
Congratulations you passed the Scottie_UK patent 'old codger' test. You are now officially an old codger.
I knew laying a double negative grammar trap would wheedle out someone. :lol
On that note I now have a few stray eyebrow hairs that get a bit long and need trimming from time to time.
Not happened to me yet - I have less because I shave it lol
Had contact lenses since I was 16!!
I sold my car a few years ago & walk anywhere under 5 miles - and live in a dip so everywhere is uphill! In that time I have lost weight & am a lot fitter.
My GF is a 20-something lol
yes to the nose hair!
It's nearly 3am and I am replying to posts lol
See previous comment about walking :)
Feeling old is when you gf tells you her favourite band is Take That & realising that she was a teenager 1st time round and you are 11yrs older than her lol (on the plus side, there are other exercises to be done to help with the weight control!)
Indeed. :D Well, I tend to get stuck in my ways and it takes me a while to warm to new ideas. I only just got a mobile phone for the first time last month!
Initially in the early '90s, I'd heard about "the web" but didn't really know what it was capable of. Back in those days computing was pretty much all based around site-local apps and downloading stuff via FTP etc.. At the time, the web layer just seemed like an uneccesary overhead on top of the files I wanted to get to. I was much happer just to go straight in to FTP.
Of course when I eventually started using the Mosaic browser which supported images and tables etc.. I knew then that it was becoming really useful. :D
