[Closed] Grow up FFS

My mate built a tree house for his son, then promptly spent the first night sleeping in it.. His son (6) was furious, so was his wife come to think of it.

I ACTUALLY NEED THIS!

[img] [/img]

No seriously I do.

Forty three [i]thousand[/i] pieces. 😯

I outsprint Steve Ovett on a regular basis 😯 (when he was in his heyday of course!(

I think, if I'd built that, I'd look as smug as he does.

Just thought of another. My gf likes to give me obscure words or phrases to try and fit into my lectures. It always makes me smile when i do it.

I [i]still[/i] mentally recite the theme tune to Airwolf, not just on swoopy singletrack, but during any activity that involves weaving between things (e.g. just walking down a busy street and yes, pushing supermarket trolleys)

Sometime I catch myself leaning in a bit too noticeably as Santini says "They're right behind us String" and I have to take evasive action.

When my kids mention one of their friends by their first name I have to make up a stupid last name. For example:
Daughter 'You know Leah?'
Sparkle 'Leah Jet?'

'Gail.'
'Gail Forcewind?'

Sparkle
49

God, yeah, I do that or something similar - like sing a song with their name in. Luckily, he's only 9 so still finds it funny 🙂

Anyone else pull off some rad trolley 360 action?

I work part time at a supermarket and I've lost count of the amount of times I've been told off by managers for doing this 😳 😀

I also like to make up random lines of conversation when walking past people just to see if they're listening, stuff like 'and then I farted so hard I pooped a bit' 😀

I gaffer taped sparklers to my bike when solo night riding on Saturday night and made noises like the millenium falcon as I whooshed downhill.

Unfortunately they only lasted 30secs to I had to revert to motorbike noises to keep the scary night beasties away.

ps I'm 43

I still buy books of Peanuts cartoons.
I make up songs about our cat, including the word "fluffy" as often as possible..or ideally "fwuffy".
When I undress for bed, I have to flick my underpants off my toe and catch them on my head. My wife hates this - but she's jealous because she can't do it properly.
46 and three quarters.

Nicholas.

"... Girlsshouldntclimbtrees?

When asked, "Have you farted?" I will always reply, "No. Would you like me to?"

WOW i need to pull this one.

5 jaffa cakes dispatched in less than 1 minute. beating my three kids. get in there....

Still 45

Reading this thread i really hope I get worse with age!

It's been the first thread in a long time thats made me proper lol!
Thanks all x

Juan, de rien mon vieux!

Pleased to report that several enemy planes were destroyed over the North East of the US this morning...! They strayed in to the crosshairs, you see 🙂

Another - When standing at a pedestrian crossing, pressing the button blows up whatever vehicle is on the crossing at that point. KABOOM!

With respect, I don't think you're really trying. I'll have to have a go at that.

You just try cougar. Do your best with a quintet of little deviant cakes.

I like to re-arrange the spice jars in tesco that have the big letters on the front to make rude words on the shelf.

AMAZING, I want to go shopping now just to do this

On a similar note, I can't go past a shop display of action figures or soft toys without rearranging them in compromise positions...

Also, egg/kitchen timers all have to be set to 5 minutes after I plan to leave the shop, and any "press to try me" noise making toys all have to be pressed before I can leave....

*High fives fellow sad-shopper!*

Me (41) and my work mate (48) have wheelie contests when we ride to work together - in shirts and ties 🙂

He wins as he used to be a red hot motocrosser.

No seriously I do.

Why do you want Louis Theroux's ironing board?

A mate of mine always tries to work out who is following him. That might just be a sign of mental illness though.

As an aside, I try and stack as much of my supermarket shopping on top of one another on the conveyor belt . You can make huge wobbly towers of shopping that take up hardly any space at all.
This can , and does sometimes go horribly wrong with the resulting structual failure leaving bread or yoghurts the wrong side of the shopping divider . This then results in tutting and general shaking of heads from the other shoppers .
As i normally have my MP3 on i really dont give a damn , its childish and funny and takes away some of the tedium of shopping.

Every torch becomes a sighting system for a super powerful/highly accurate weapon of my choice...

Never use the dividers on the conveyor belts in the supermarket & score points if the shoppers in front/behind put them in place for you. *Always* keeps the wife amused that one.

Pass Foxes Riding School on the Chester High Road and always wonder out loud "How do earth do they get the foxes to do that?"...

*Every* set of stairs in any office block becomes a task of figuring out whether they can be ridden down.

Can't wait to teach Jnr about the finger pulling!

I once set off Toys R Us's entire stock of Tickle Me Elmos off at once. I thought the shelf was going to collapse.

slainte 🙂 rob

another one, when I set away for work in the morning I sing the tune from Thunderbirds in my head - but sometimes it comes out aloud - oops. 56

Every morning when I get my banana for my lunch, I slide a clip in and cock it and then shoot both my kids.
(What would Freud say?)

pressing all the buttons in a lift will always be fun. hiding in the dark and scaring mrsconsequence/making her jump will never fail to amuse me. waving at strangers is fun, when being introduced to someone for the first time it's fun to say 'oh we've met, don't worry' and leave them wondering why they don't remember meeting you all day.

This thread makes me feel worryingly mature.

Do you people [i]really[/i] want Star Wars lego?!?!

In my defense, I do not want Lego. I draw the line at fantasy cycling moments and jaffacake war.

Dave - those things aren't immature though, they're normal, but lego... 😕

I'm sat in the office reading this whilst also looking for a BMX for myself, decided yesterday that I needed one in my life (I've no idea what sort I need, just that I need one)

Also recently bought myself a new longboard, and spent half of my life wearing T Shirts and Shorts, (todays T Shirts says 'pussy magnet')

Tried growing up once, it didn't suit me

Im 36, but most people say i'm 6!!!

More toys fellas, more toys..

In the car, on dual carriageway/motorway with wife in passenger seat I'm quite fond of slow overtakes.
It has to be the same car as mine, when passing I slow down so we are neck and neck, other driver looks across, I give thumbs up and point at wife. She then crumples into the footwell in a mixture of shame, embarrassment and pant wetting giggling.
She then asks if they are gone, I say yes, she sits up and they are still there etc, etc. Normally pull forward once I start to get embarrassed by my own behaviour.

Also still fond of some arm pumping airhorn action with passing trucks.

Also like encouraging motorcycles to pass fast when on the roadbike, when one comes up behind sounding fast they often throttle off a bit so as not to upset the cyclist, thats when I do some windmill arms in a 'wind 'er up' motion. Love it when biker responds by wellying it past full chat. 🙂

Tooundred! 😀

Do you people really want Star Wars lego?!?!

Yes.

Star wars + Lego = Megawin.

thats it - the scalextric is getting built up 🙂

I found a box of old Star Wars toys in the loft the other day. Anyone want to buy them? I have no idea how much they're worth. I have a death star which folds out so you can see the rooms inside, an R2D2 which folds out into some kind of scene from one of the films, a millenium falcon that shoots a plastic "laser" with a trigger, and an X-Wing that does the same. There's also a ti-fighter and an at-at walker thing. Oh and all the mini characters which you can put in the various toys and play with 😆

I've been saving my pocket money for 33 and a half years for this moment.

£10?

I've been saving my pocket money for 33 and a half years for this moment.

8) sadly I think the box would cost more than a tenner to post, it's quite heavy.

My kid would love them. Yes MY KID, ok?

_tom_ - if you're not attached to the toys and not looking to make a quick buck have you thought about auctioning them for the bullheart charity?

Sounds like a good idea Phil, how do I do that then?

Bringing together this thread with the one about MW3

well DezzyB did a 'buy an online raffle ticket' type idea, but if it were me and it being potentially pricey items you've got in that box... i'd do some research into how much its all worth, then sell it... take the postage costs out and donate the rest to bullheart 🙂

i'm sure he'd be appreciative of a 20p donation if you decided to sell it all for personal profit in the end. sorry for putting the charity thing on you dude... kinda typed it out and clicked send without thinking, should've emailed!

haha no worries Phil, I could do with some money now (only working 12hrs a week sucks) but I don't mind donating to good causes 🙂 I doubt they're worth much though, they're not original 70s toys (I'm too young for that) and I chucked away all the packaging!

I'm 47 and still aspire to having a model train set in my attic.

When driving the police van on nights some years ago, we didn't have the new 'american' style siren at the time, so i would occasionally whistle it through the loud speaker when attending emergencies

When driving the shopping R-Plate 1 litre Micra I sing the Professionals theme tune.

I'm a 41yo professional, and sometimes make myself Nutella sandwiches in the office...

That's fine.

But don't apply the same principle when driving through [url= http://maps.google.co.uk/?q=loc:****um,+Wachtendonk,+Germany&sll=51.401095,6.305971 ]Here ![/url]

I GOT ONE!!!

1)find 'the greatest war themes' cd
2)play 633 squadron at full blast
3)take corners a touch too quickly
4)lean into the steering wheel when you corner
5)make machine gun / bomb dropping noises
6)play the dambusters march
7)repeat steps 3-5
8)play ride of the valkyries
9)repeat steps 3-5 with the additional vocalisations of helicopter rotors.

i just wish I had some biggles goggles to go with it

Grow up ffs.....WHY ❓

and, when I take my dog out on misty nights, I turn my torch on, the beam picks up the mist, and I make light sabre noises. I invite my dog to have a light sabre fight with me. Sadly, she doesn't have a torch because dogs don't have opposing thumbs 🙁

just wish I had some biggles goggles

😳

I still enjoy a game of "pull my finger" and cheering at fire engines when they go past with lights and sirens going. I also fart in my little howff at work and shout to one of the guys to come in. When they appear I ask can you smell burning? And the first thing they do is have a good sniff. Second is to swear at me. Im 40 - physically.

I also get a great laff dressing the dog up in stupid outfits. My favourite is his dracula outfit. He looks pretty funny with my full facer on as well. Another thing that amuses me no end but hacks off mrs bt is when you are waiting to turn right on the road and a car coming the other way stops to let you turn. Instead of the usual happy wee thank you wave a good flick of the vees just cracks me up! Singing pump up the jam while railing it down caddon bank is pretty good as well.

if you have some, you're my hero.

I find myself doing a lot of the above, my main ones are probably...

- I can't look into a mirror, when alone, without pulliong a scarey face and growling.

- My sister in law and I always great each other with chicken noises (She's 10 years older than me)

- If I find and "Smart" biscuits or treats in the cupboard at night I tend to whoop and holla whilst jumping up and down.

- Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil at work I always tap dance (I can't tap dance)

- I ALWAYS shout my kids and when they answer say "Stinks". I've done this since before they could speak and would would wait until they looked at me before replying.
I have had to adapt this a little though as they were getting wise to it. Now I occasionaly respond with "Love You". This makes them smile and means they always respond, even though I say "Stnks" 95% of the time.

Had to tell a customer today that I couldn't find her rug in the warehouse. Probably not the best choice of words but we both laughed 😆 Oh and I may or may not have played with a lightsabre toy when picking it.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Found another one. Driving down the A19 tonight and there are no street lights, yeah? Turn down the dashboard lights as low as they will go and suddenly my black Volvo is in full "stealth mode".

Bow down before me, morgs.....

Bow down before me, morgs.....

CFH - ok, a hero yes....the ability to make me your sexual play thing.....i don't think so 😉

Cheeky!

Lots of entries so this may have been done....

I am 40, but when I walk through automatic sliding doors I still wave my hand in front of me like its my Jedi powers making it happen.

Still s**** when I see "Cat Boarding" billboards/signs. I really want to give catboarding a go. Surely as much fun as shopping trolleys?

When the kids were younger (8/10ish) I'd get them to direct us home in the car. I'd go exactly the opposite to what they said. Used to wind them up a treat. Daughter soon sorted it out though and has fabulous sense of direction. Son hit me and after he was 12 it hurt too much. He also prefers to drive me now. Never bothered with directionally challenged missus.

Cullen, you even act like a boss from time to time. "martin,you are sacked!"

just like saying it... it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

thanks guys - after a rubbish week this has cheered me up no end...
