A Brother knows he's getting old when...

...his life insurance costs more than his motor insurance.

This happened to me this year.

Was almost as depressing as the moment I was queueing up at a checkout, saw some guy on the CCTV monitor in the line with a fairly noticable bald patch at the back of his head. "Poor slaphead" I thought to myself, and when the queue moved foreward I realised I was looking at my own head.

Woe.

Ah don't worry about it too much. Head for the pub and drown your sorrows. By the end of the third pint you'll be grand. Look on the brightside - at least the barman won't ask you for ID

I often look in the mirror as my hairline recedes quicker than the Antartic Ice in the summer and I just say to myself "Nothing I can or want to do about it". Then I just tell herself to get me a beer and/or make a good old fry up. Tis grand brother, tis grand.

I like to think that the shift weight off the top of my head and onto my gut lowers my centre of gravity making me more agile.

when you go out on a friday night and get home at 6am and have to sleep until 3.30pm and then cant make it to a drug fuel party on saturday night......

When you think "She'll freeze to death in that mini.." instead of thinking what she'd be like out of it !;)

I stopped going to ALDI in Galway because the CCTV at the door shows my baldy patch to the whole shop as I walk in. Not funny, not streamlined, just sad...
