Signs you are getting old

[TightEnd]

I think it came to me this weekend

I was staying in the holiday inn castle marina, playing the DTD team challenge

I went downstairs on the sunday morning, out the front door with the intention of popping across to Sainsburys

I saw someone i knew sitting on a bench across the way from the entrance, the gentleman was smoking a cigarette

"Hello Alan" I said

"How did you get on yesterday?"

It was Maxally/Knottikay

At which point a broad Scottish voice replied

"I'm hanging, i decided to put a mark on my arm for every beer i had yesterday."

He showed me his arm

"Count em pal."

I counted them. 16 marks with what may have been a permanent marker pen, but i wasn't going to ask

"That's right pal, 16 pints"

Rather superfluously he repeated

"I'm hanging" 

It wasn't Maxally/knottikay.

now had to extract myself from the conversation

I managed

"Oh right, see you then"

He looked at me

I looked at him

I wandered off confused, and amazed still that it wasn't Alan.

[Knottikay]

What a slur on my character.......fancy thinking I was Scottish!   


However, I was one of the last to leave the DTD Bar on Friday night when the staff hinted that they would not be serving us anymore due to a couple of guys in our group who were a little incoherent. I somehow also manged to leave at stupid o'clock on the Saturday night due to the Bar closing and most of the staff had gone home.

It was a good w/end

Today, for reasons that I will explain later, I needed to extend some wires, a red one and a black one.

I had a rummage around in my electricical bits box and found some that matched, dug out my dad's old soldering iron and made a start...

Since turning 40 I've got a single rogue wiry hair forming part of one of my eyebrows.  It steams off vertically away from its brothers, as if it's doing some kind of salute.  It's way longer than the others, and even when I yank it out it regenerates within days and goes back about its business.  What's that about?

When it takes you 1 week to recover from a good night out.

[RED-DOG]

When you stoop to tie your laces and wonder if there is anything else you can do while you're down there.

I've completely given up drinking, unless I'm away for the weekend, or on holiday.

Vegas is the only place I can string today 3/4 days drinking in a row, and never actually feel that bad.

Needing reading glasses but rarely actually taking them anywhere.

Preferring to sit down for a wee.

Ha, very good.

Not reached that stage yet, but a good wee is always a welcome sign that the plumbing is holding up well. Most pleasurable they are too.

Erm, I have. Must be old before my time.

Noo. this is so wrong.

If I were to assume that position my bowels would want to get in on the act.

Also, when you are not in a position to place one hand against the back wall and lean forward, how do you manage to rectify what can sometimes be what you might call a 'difficult angle'?

The nut worst coup is when the toilet seat will not remain in the up position without being held up. With just 2 hands, that gives us a problem, as we now need 3 - one for support, one to hold the seat up, & one for directional purposes.
