You know you're getting old when...

When you can measure time in noteworthy fractions of a century. A quarter and a third seem like perfectly reasonable quantities of time. And I've got less than a tenth to go before I can add a half to those.

When you realise that the music you loved as a teenager is rapidly approaching a third of a century old. Think about it this way, the gap of 31 years that separates the first Beatles album in 1963 and the first Oasis album in 1994 is only one year more than the gap between that first Oasis album now.
 
This XKCD came out nine years ago.

Remember, tomorrow is just the yesterday of the near future.
So deadlines can just wait for the ******* elderly.


Month end family beer Saturday...delayed by one day by surgery.

Downright dangerous this afternoon, time to go read only.
I can only take so much post removal and whipping.
Goodnight all.

Correction to the above post.
Four months...with three weeks of (excellent, nhs) intensive physio input and exercises to fix a wankle.
Ride the lights at Blackpool tonight, and I have a nice new bike to play out on, posh drop handled tourer, just right for an old ***, and I love the ride.
So, which old ******* ailment shall I use as an excuse this year then?
Wrist tendonitis?
Hip bursitis?
ACL knee swelling?
Wankle?
Old age is ****...get your fun in while you can...you have been told.
I'm only fit for Icon, for fucks sake.

Terribly bad form to quote oneself, but I just searched if I had mentioned bursitis before, and here we are, almost an exact year later, in the correct topic.
Wankle still playing up, and a major hip buritis flareup...on the other side for fucks sake.
Walking like John Wayne if he had **** his kex.
Must be the hedgecutting.
Still, might get the ****** Volvo back next week.
Total autobox overhall open surgery, do you think fifty quid will cover it?
 
You know you are getting old when you are sleeping and your dream is rudely interrupted by the sound of someone snoring loudly....and then you realise that the person who is snoring is you and it's so loud you've just woken yourself up with it.

I had a very strange comment from someone at work today. Not sure how it was meant, but I'm taking it as a compliment.

"You look like you're from Berlin."

Shaved head, goatee, only wears black, drinks pilsner, likes hard techno....
I can see that.
😘

Great look that

Been chatting about the same thing in the pub today.
Kids today not raving and going to bed early in Ibiza so they have a beach boys to impress by the pool in the morning.

Wtf

Ibiza was made by crack heads…… if your not prepared to rave what’s it all about.

The worlds changed and I don’t like it.
 
They don't even know how to have a proper session these days, and they're trying to be all 'healthy' and stuff. ****** dweebs! Going to the gym and everything. What's wrong with staying up 'til 5 in the morning, having several bifters, 14 cans of lager, 3 glasses of wine, a glass of 'something' that some random person gave you and quarter of a bottle of whisky and feeling like absolute s**t the next day? ****** kids!
 
Oh, I knew what it should be, but we have fun getting it into quotes so the original remains...
Raving about the Beach Boys...
