Do you have a stick set aside specifically for mixing paint?

Dartz · 31-10-2009 1:48am

I'm 22

I already have grey hairs.

My granny already mistakes me for my Da... she's so senile she thinks he's only in his 20's.

It's terrifying.

Do you go to the chemist's for Gaviscon, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

Hey, at least you got to 40 before this happened. I'm 20 and it happens to me sometimes too. It really is scary.

Don't be too worried. You're old when you look at your son sagely, your wisdom permeating every syllable, and utter "The ould dog for the hard road, and the pup for the path".

Me too, I'm off to bleed the radiators... again.

pebbles21:

I had a mental image of an early 20s woman.
Now it's changed to a 40 year old man.

Are you one of those 'wimmenz on the internet'?

We all turn into our parents. Where do you think your parents came from, after all?

The worst part will be looking back on your life and realising how much of a tw@t you were posting on boards.

Whe you were young and wreckless things were fun and enjoyable - Then you get to your 25/26 - 40/50 age when things are serious and everything is a worry - But fear not - once you hit 60 you start to relax and have fun again until your no longer able to walk - You dont have to work anymore and spend time with the other children once again (grandkids) And enjoy yourself

Once a man - Twice a child.

the youth is wasted on the young....

Sorry, if I could just find my coat, stick, flat cap and packet of wurthers originals...

Toothpaste? For that you'd need teeth and I'm afraid teeth was not a luxury afforded to me me dear celtic cub. Oh no, we were lucky to have 2 big stones to grind up the pieces of coal we had for our 1 meal of the day. Our teeth were sold to the english before we were born to buy oxygen which they had cunningly exported out of ireland to the ''new world'' to dazzle the natives with...

Ah, the youth of today... So naive, and fresh, breath clean...

Whats a killer for me is I use to argue with my dad for all the little habbits he had like his fav saying was "why pay for it if you can get it for free".He use to keep the little sachets of sugar you got in shops for his lunch box flask and "You will never know until you ask" in relation to a pay rise he always pushed me to make more.

The funny things is I am now saying this to my kids. They will soon start huffing and puffing at me in the same manor and off course i will think back and laugh.

I think the expression that you have become your parents is funny. I dont mind that. Its when you become the stubborn granddad that thinks the world is gone mad.Why cant you get a bottle of milk for a schilling any more That there was no one better than gay byrne and the "Wireless" was better that those fandangled ttelevisions that ruin the social lives of people......... Hold on i just said this the other day.:eek:

Men have never had a problem relating to their inner child - it's the outer adult that we have the problem with.

Yeh I'd kill myself if I turned into my parents, it would be like choosing between a gulag and a concentration camp. Personally, I don't think anyone becomes like their parents, you can carry on mannerisms, phrases etc... but never actually like them.

You're a glass half full person eh?
She thinks you are in your 50's.

tis the tyranny of genes im afraid .

word to the wise to all you young whipper snappers out there.

take a good long look at your girlfriends mother, as thats what your gonna end up with if things work out

im only in me mid thirties myself and i find myself looking for quiet pubs with no bands on so i can actually hear what my mates are saying. and dont get me started on 18yr old girls. i can bearly supress the laugter at the way they dress now and actively feel guilty if i find one attractive

about the only terror left for me is running into my neices in the pub.

P.S i quite like bleeding the radiators !
