You know you're getting old when you're relieved you only had to get for a p1ss once in the night.....and managed to get it all in the bowl as well.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

You gradually realise that your feet get cold in bed.  Eventually you agree to get an electric blanket.  Then you look forward to switching it on early - and getting into a nice warm bed.

Never mind feeling the cold more at BP, despite dressed like a yeti in the winter.

The barber comments on your “natural highlights”.

Every other driver is either driving too slow or too fast.

You get fed-up with your daughters and other young people using bad language.

Worst of all, you occasionally start picking up large litter items, and putting them in a bin, just to keep the neighbourhood clean tidy.

You also think about joining a neighbourhood watch, but don’t.  You are not that old or interested.

You read all the local political leaflets that come through the door.  And even talk to some councillors about issues that annoy you - like litter, speeding cars and gangs of youths hanging about (although doing nothing wrong).

you get sudden/uncontrollable urges to pee...particularly when near running water e.g. cleaning your teeth

Turning the shower on does that to me. 😔🌧


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

On a couple of occasions  while filling my car at the petrol station I really needed a pee when a few minutes before I was fine.

If you get the angle right Pete, you can avoid the CCTV cameras and do it in the petrol tank.

Apparently.

That's not much of a problem if you're in the shower

Does it work ok for both petrol and diesel?

It was pointed out to me, when we were discussing the clocks going back.
I said something about an extra hour in bed.  As opposed to an extra hour in JD's/Tiffs/The Flam etc.


How true, when they used to shut at 2 but the clocks went back giving us that extra hour on the p1ss.

(And still turned up for footy the next morning) !!!!!!!!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

You like watching antique programmes.  You are the same age as the experts and can remember using some of the items many years ago.  😓
