Sounds to me like she was probably just a saggy old fart who was jealous of your lean, young figure.

Sure we've all seen men and women well into their 40s and 50s who still look great. It's just going to come down to looking after yourself surely.

Haha far from! She was a skinny stick and very pretty and about 26 that time, she didn't mean it in a bad way! It still haunts me though!
I know it's all down to lifestyle

That's exactly it. My spiral (not a massive spiral!) started when Mrs. _Bap got pregnant, I was getting too involved with her crazy food demands while pregnant. When I was sent out to get whatever she craved, I couldn't resist getting a little something for myself as well.
Then post pregnancy, we got very lazy at cooking, and i had to cut back on my sports. We got things back on track...but then bun #2 got in the oven and repeated our pattern, although not as bad the second time around.
Now I'm back to looking after myself (apart from being Captain Foodsalot last night) and feeling great.

I remember a friend of mine telling my 20 year old self: "You know czechlin, when you pass the 25 yo mark it goes downhill. The body, it's not the same anymore, it requires more work, things'll get loose, it's not nice." Pushing 27 and it's starting to haunt me. Although I'm in a much better form than I was when she had that speech.

I know the feeling, ha ha! It takes me 16 weeks of going to the gym 5 days a week to start to sort out the belly, it takes me 2-3 weeks of not going to the gym to undo all the hard work :mad:

It's all lies. I'm only bleedin' gorgeous since I got old.

When you can't find your mobile phone so you use your home/office phone to ring it and then when you retrieve it and get all excited that you have a missed call, forgetting that its from you:rolleyes:

You're arrogant. Like me. I like that.

Fat blokes in football jerseys, seriously just buy a mirror and use it before you leave the house. It's more offensive to my eyes than muffin top!

Trivial thing that annoys me: People, usually women, going "Ohmylantherincheesesfurk I'm 27! 27!! I'm a hideous shrivelled carcass animated only by the malfeasant will of Cthulhu!! Waaaaahh!!". Here is the news: it's alright, you're still a Yung Wan(TM), and it's been a while since ye had to hurry up and be a grandmother before 30 before dying of tonsilitis or a surfeit of sabre-tooth tiger!

Aglomerado

People in cafes and canteens who can't stand up without scraping their chair on the floor.

Lift the fúcking thing YOU MOUTHBREATHING FÚCKS!!!!!:mad:

When my son throws a tantrum in public, I like to be a responsible parent by taking him to one side away from other people and putting him in time out till he calms down and we can talk about what he did wrong. All well and good until someone, usually an old biddy, comes up and goes "Oh what's the matter, wont you daddy get you something? Oh you poor wee one."

Great, now you have reinforced my son's opinion that I am being unreasonable and as a result you have extended his tantrum.

I may have mentioned this in one of the previous 33 incarnations of this thread, but I had a similar thing when out with my little one.

I was just leaving Super Valu and trying to get my daughter into her car seat and she kicked off crying - unimportant why, wanting something in the shops that I refused if I remember right.
Nosey auld wan (not proper old, more like 50), comes up and asks "is everything OK", I say "yes, we are fine thanks."
She then says, "what's wrong with her?", "she's crying" I respond.
At this point I'm getting a little annoyed as she's distracting me and confusing my daughter.
She then says "why is she crying, does she want anything?", "Me being distracted by a stranger isn't helping" I reply.
"Does she need her mother?" she asks. "Leave us alone", I respond and turn my back on her.
She gasps and eventually walks away.

Now, did she think
A: that I am a kidnapper who just happens to drive around in a Qashqai of all things, with a baby seat and handy array of toys searching for the opportune moment to steal a child
B: An unfit father likely to beat my child
C: That in general fathers should not be left alone with their children and need random strangers to help them control their offspring

In my experience of observing people's behaviours if it was B she wouldn't have come next to near us, so it is A or C, which I find very insulting

Whew, tldr; strangers should just fu(k off out of my business.

Bumping into an ex and his new girlfriend in a cafe while you are tussling with a massive pulled pork (I know! I know!) sandwich that is spewing its contents everywhere. Totally scarleh for me

You're not making it easy for me to finally abandon schoolboy humour at my age, I tell you that! :pac::pac::pac:

So I'm walking out of the building after lunch to have a smoke and to take a break from the office, and see the office b*ll*x on patrol outside.
I linger around until he has sufficiently cleared the area, I know that he likes to go in the other door of the building which he is headed for.
I go outside thinking I would be safe, but no. He had stopped just out of my line of vision to pick something up. Before lighting up, and before he's seen me, I think that he's too close to the other door to come back, so I light up.

I'm watching him out of the corner of my eye, and he makes his way to the other door, but he stops to take a look around. He then sees me and walks rather quickly towards me, far too quick for a man of his age and girth.
He likes to stand close to smokers as he is a former smoker.
So this out of breath, red faced b*ll*x is standing right on my lip while I'm trying to get a moments peace. He then goes into a massive rant about how tough his job is blahdy blah get the violin out.

That ruined my few moments of potential peace. Pr*ck.

There is a guy here, and pretty much everytime
he passes a girl/woman he comes out with "And how are you doin?" in a crap American accent.

It hasn't been funny since the 25th time you said it!!

Laughing at this. Not because your few moments of potential peace got ruined, but just thinking imagine if you discovered that this was your title. Not you Boom_Bap, I mean any one of us.

Something else that has annoyed me today, I haven't seen czechlin2.0

People who commit you to do something without telling or asking you. Like this...

"Tony said you'd fix my computer"
"Sorry, I don't have the time"
"But Tony said you'd fix my computer"
"I'm sorry I'd love to help but right now I just don't have the time"
"errrrrrrrr (blank stare) Tony said you'd do it"
and so on....

Tony has been busy chasing Lola, the showgirl who works at the Copacabana.

When people post a pun or a joke and finish their post with "Sorry" or "I'll get my coat."

That really annoys me more than it should.

Would you say that you had a quibble with these people?

Because quibble is also a synonym for pun? Guys? Amirite?

Sorry. I'll get my coat.

Lazy and inaccurate reporting by newspapers. A couple of weeks ago I saw P.J. Gallagher from Naked Camera described as both a 'comedian' and 'TV funny man' by a tabloid newspaper. Do they think going around the place annoying people whistling in a cheap suit, with a rolled up newspaper is some sort of comedy routine? Well I didn't hear anyone laughing.
