My colleagues are 13 and 22 years younger than me. They are talking about stuff that I have no understanding of (WTF is a Wagner?). The only thing that I want to talk about is how tired I am and that the cold makes my knees ache.
Just do what I do when faced with the impertinence of youth.
Whatever they’re talking about, just ignore them and loudly inform them that you still have all your own teeth and that you used to come here when it was all fields.
Some of it oldgit. The Stone Sour frontman was a complete potty mouth though. He started out saying we were all family and then called the audience ‘m*therfeckers’ for the rest of the evening – jolly confusing.
There were flames though which was a bit of a change from the last ‘proper’ gig I went to there which was The Jam’s last concert.
Harry, I might just help you out today by hanging out on your thread , things might go OT… keep up Harry. But it’ll be good for you to experience the attention span of the mtv generation. I’m yoof, I’m with it, I’m hippity hop, see.
I found my first grey hair yesterday, I’m not talking about a light blonde strand, I mean a full on pigment free spider leg wirey whispy and wicked. I plucked it free, then found two more on the other side of my temple. Don’t think I’d apprichiate paying to see a gig then being called a mofo by the very person I’d paid to see.
My girlfriend has been doing some work with a family who have an autistic son. He has a charming trait of prefacing questions with “Don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not saying you’re old or anything but…….”
can’t you make the youth feel inadequate with your tales of tequila fueled parties with models, far flung escapades, personal injuries and close scrapes with foreign forces of law and order? works for me…
been feeling old because I don’t get to go out and see my friends anymore, I don’t go clubbing and i haven’t been to a gig in ages. Anyway, went to a gig on saturday night. I can’t drink anymore so all the drunk people made me cross, It was very loud and i got a headache and then because there was no where to sit, my back started to hurt and I was glad when it was 11 and we could all go home. I’m 28 for heavens sake! Its not meant to be like this!

fixed it so its representational of my exact experience.
i try and make up for it by snowboarding and riding my bike to the power of groovy. although now i’ve cut my dreadlocks off after 10 years nobody asks what extreme sports i do, so no opportunity to remind people i’m not as much of an old man as it would appear.
Last night I put the kids to bed, ironed a few shirts, watched Strictly then got an early night. I also bagged up many wooden off cuts from my recent DIY frenzy and put them in the shed in case I should need them in the future.
Tonight I’m putting things in the loft and making homous.
saw ross noble on thursday night and didnt get to bed until gone midnight! 😯
i’m still hip and groovy
(worse thing is due to my musical exploits i built up a rather large fan-base and a lot of them took advantage of facebook, adding my personal account, so now i get a feed of 16-19 year olds posting constantly about things i dont understand… makes me feel very old… bare jokes blud, bare jokes.)
Last night a transvestite accused me of being a Polish secret policeman, in a bar in Newcastle. I then watched a fat Mancunian play a Proclaimers song on a shovel, while jets of flames shot up behind him.
