    When you do something that your mother used to do and it used to annoy the sh*t out of you like trying to find your car in the car park and scrutinising your shop receipts..:eek:

    Our sires' age was worse than our grandsires'. We, their sons, are more
    worthless than they; so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more
    corrupt.

    The music kids listen to now sickens you. Country music is all you can tolerate.

    The first bit I agreed with.

    As for the rest, There is no way I will ever ever get to the stage where I'm ever old enough or senile enough to ever willingly listen to that muck.

    No way San Jose!

    Same way as I used to laugh at people falling over on 'You've been framed' years ago.

    Nowadays, I wince at stuff like that, thinking. ' Ooh,that must have hurt'.
    Ah no, I still find that funny. Its even funnier if its fat girl that falls

    When you think you've just said something really cool and you see the kids turning their eyes up and going ffs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    When youre buying new shoes and wonder if they would be comfortable..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Filmer Paradise

    Obviously you're younger than me.

    Took a lot of knocks when I was younger. Never thought about it.

    Last week I fell off a 2ft step ladder.

    I could feel the pain before I hit the deck!

    Where I live, Country music is what the kids are listening to. Nathan Carter wagon wheel $hite. No rebellion or semblance of life in them at all. Prescriptive line dancing entertainment. They may have the gift of youth but this generation are wasting it. I didn't waste mine.

    Unfortunately I've had cause to be in & out of hospital since my teens - all becomes a bit routine & boring. However last year I was getting some tests done & I was hooked up to a new machine. To make conversation I said to the nurse that I'd never seen this one before.

    Her response - 'it's a standard test for men of your age'. Gulp!!

    I think it was the matter of fact way she said it that really got me!

    True that. Now that I think about it.
