* Not accept idiotic fools so easily any more.
* Turn off X-factor/Big Brother type garbage a lot more
* Watch the news
* Wallop the heck out of loud teen brats in a cinema and shove their phones down their throats.
* Have less patience for folk that just stand in your way having a nice chat, in the high street - "Get the FCUK OUT of my way you stupid cows!!!"
* Throw back into the face of those doing it, the junk mail they shove through my door. NO - I don't want your frakin' forest of paper junk!
* Spend much less time putting up with arseholes! "Frak OFF!"
* Let bullies get away with their crap. If have a go at me, I'll break your frakin' arms and legs to begin with!"

I'm a lot more tolerant of those that are nice and go to the bother of understanding others, appreciating their time and patience to see a problem through more. That said, in general, I don't have time any more for ****. Years ago I'd just laugh at them. Now they can just get out of my way or I'll run right over them.

I'm old, I've seen a lot more crap. Us oldies don't have to take it any more. Don't like it? Sod off!
I'm old and have a licence to grump!

get called mister

enjoy the antiques roadshow

Enjoy a nice night in with booze and films rather than making a tit of myself in a nightclub.

• Rent cottages in the Isle of Wight.
• Think about an old flame and wonder what went wrong while playing my old six string.
• The more that I see the less that I know for sure.
• Lie by the side of the road with the lorries rolling by.
• Feel the way I do today because somebody makes me feel so young.

Unfortunately, by being old, you also have a license to stand a far greater chance of getting seven shades of sh1t kicked out of you if you were as confrontational as you say you are. Just thought i'd point that out! Might save you a beating.

funk-you

Shake my fist more.
Complain about the pain in my knee when it's cold.

I'm only 26. Where did it all go wrong?

when i was ateenager i assumed all "old" people (ie 20 plus) wished they were younger. now that i'm nearly 30, i am so glad to be that age, and in fact i sometimes wish i was a bit older. i would hate to be younger again.

If you've read any of Biggins' posts you'll know he's ex-*** with a black belt in his wardrobe kung fu and many years of experience in tactical hand to hand combat. A couple of scumbags wouldn't worry him.

Nope. I've trained in Wado Kai (for years/5 to 6 days a week, fought for Ireland in the world Wado-Ryu katate Championships in Osaka Japan for example).
I can look after myself and have done. Then moved on to the Israeli military Krav Maga form of self defence to increase my potential.
If I have to use it once a year, thats too much but I'm older and just don't tolerate thug crap any more, Why should any of us have to do so?

I've learned to not get so upset over life/state of affairs/state of world/other emo crap.

The internet is serious business, well it has been paying my wages for years anyway (ecom).

I wish I was 18 or so again and I would have slept with all those fat birds. An 18 year old girl wouldnt look at me twice now fat or not.

No, I'm just another arsehole but one that is not willing to take crap as easily. I've tackled other gob****es that are disturbing everyone's viewing.
The young staff at our cinema are (understandably) afraid to tackle the group of young thugs that come in so they ask me for assistance. They know me because I train some of them.
Grabbing them by their collars after many repeated warnings to shut up and sit down, which they ignore and continue to destroy others viewing pleasure, they are soon out on their ass on the pavement. They don't like it, tough.
They should stop being arseholes! They get no sympathy from the cinema owner, staff and fee paying customers.

Look at 14yr olds smoking cigarettes and think '****in idiots', yet i was at the same back then. Hypocricy is great

Yea right!

I wish a lot more folk would grow a set of balls and stop accepting that people in general have to take the crap that is shoved into their faces.
The Irish public is too complacent to their detriment. They moan and gripe about why things are bad, how these things happened and/or how did such such things be allowed to happen.
Well maybe, if they stopped letting things slip by them, may be, just may be, there wouldn't be so much crap going on!

What have I learned as I got older, seen many other cultures and the way they deal with problems, etc? That your only on this merry-go-round of a planet once.
You can either be a constant victim or once in a while actually stand up and say "I don't have to take this crap".

I look forwards to the day that "Zero Tolerance" is introduced into this country as law.

Have a ride without a 'love tape' on the go

Enjoy laughing at students and teenage subcultures

Complain that <insert current indie band> sounds exactly like <older indie band>

See fashions come around for the second (and third time). And always the sh*t ones for some reason

Actually empathizing and getting on with your parents
