Things you never thought you'd hear yourself say…

Never ever in a a million years did I imagine that I would be asking the wife ‘have you seen my nose hair trimmer?’.

But I did, and it can only mean one thing, I am definitely no longer ‘young’, no matter how young I try to convince myself I feel…

I’ve gone completely deaf. Never thought I’d hear myself say that!!! 😉

“i haven’t had any cake for 24hrs” 😯

”i’ll take that lawnmower please” 🙁

“Well done Sir Alex, a good job well done.”

fancy a spin on the road bikes?

That laburnum tree I planted the other year is looking particularly nice.

TJ and Cynic Al like peas in a pod those two.

If you two don’t stop doing that you’ll spend the rest of the day in your bedrooms – I’ve offically become my Dad.

“It’s not about winning, it’s the taking part that counts”

The lament of the weak. Now my mantra. Sigh…

In response to the rain:

‘Still at least it’s good for the garden’.

Notice how so many of these seem to be garden/gardening related. Must be a sign of middle age!

“Awesome, this house has a rotary washing line!”

It’s late, let’s go to sleep (at 10pm)

“To be fair to City, they’re looking like a good squad”

and last weeks ‘recommend me a road bike’ thread

Where did it all go wrong?

‘age shouldn’t matter’

‘I think I should delete my log-on’

“You know, I think I might just give the lawn a trim before lunch.”

Or…

“Come on, let’s make a pot of tea and take our books to bed”

Snow? This is going to cause big transport disruptions.

.. to my teenage son, as he plays guitar.
“why dont you play something i know ”

The first time I met my future Brother In Law was on a trip to Alton Towers about 12 years ago. He said nothing for about an hour then as we were driving through some village in Staffordshire piped up with…”Wow, that bus shelter looks really ace!”.

“I love cutting the Grass”
Or
“Nah, can’t be bothered riding tonight”
Or
“Pass the Hovis”
Or
“Do you think these skinny jeans make me look like an old man trying to be trendy?”

loddrik – I thought your opener was going to be: “I fancy a ride in the Surrey Hills”… 😯

I think it’s the dad gene kicking in but I have had a few recently, one springs to mind.

While driving listening to the radio, “ah bon jovi, turn it up”
