Things that annoy you more than they should

[Smurph]

Funny thing, I nearly said that I used to watch Dom Joly at the same time as the Fast Show, I honestly thought they were around the same time, but a quick check on google tells me Fast Show was 94, and Trigger happy Tv was 2000, 6 years bloody difference, That would never happen with music guess the year kind of question, maybe a year or 2 out, but 6?? Ferking hell.

After a while everything just seems to blur in to one. Where have the last twenty years gone?

I know, it's frightening!

Once you get to 50, it seems you blink an eye and 5 years have passed.

It is right what they say, younger years from being born, to the age of say 30 are real slow, after that it just seems to go so fast. So weird, but obviously, it must just be ones only personal perception of things. Like obviously time is the same, so why does it seem to move faster, as you get older?

Definetly gets faster the older you become.

I find myself wishing days, weeks away in the build up to things we have planned.

That’s very true. Both ‘kids’ have now left home and gone to uni and I’m left wondering where this time has gone.

Felt like yesterday we dropped out Daughter off, she's just finished her third year and moved back home, much to her disappointment

Dear me, listen to the old folk.
Wait until you get into your 70’s, then you think what can I do in whatever time I have left?

It’s great really, you look back at your earlier life and think about your kids and grandkids and how to enjoy being with them even more.

Long live the septuagenarians.

Not quite there yet but less than a year to go.

I hope you're not decluttering yet? Since losing my wife last year, I've been so much more aware of the likely time I might have left and subconsciously, I'm throwing stuff out or taking it to a charity shop - not her stuff necessarily btw, just stuff that I come across that really should have been ditched years ago and in some cases, decades ago but unless you actually need the space, it just sits there while you get on with life. I've just ordered a skip so I can clear my garage out and I know for a fact that there are some things in there that were put there 'temporarily' when me moved here 21 years ago and haven't been moved or opened since and have probably been home to countless generations of mice!

It's a good point. Probably the best thing that came out of the Covid lock downs was that our garage and shed were virtually completely cleared of the 20 years of accumulated rubbish that might come in handy one day.

I’ve decluttered my garage, just the loft, spare bedroom and storage unit to go now.

I think it all started because of women going up to the bar, they like to be more civilised i suppose.

Women are the worst for jumping bar queues, must be glazed red lipstick that attracts the bar staff

Its funny cause when In had my bikes the garage had some order and when I built my pond, I've no idea on how it as got back into a similar or worse state now, Shed needs a massive sort out, Mrs has stored all the cushions off the garden furniture in there now, box room was cleared out for eldest to make a bit of an office of it cause he was working from home a couple of days a week, he's got a flat near his office in Cardiff at moment, but is coming back home permanently soon.

Oh f*ck, I'd forgotten about the loft. Glad you reminded me before the skip arrives!

Good thinking. I’m often overlooked being old, bald and 5 foot six and a quarter. Bright red lipstick it is next time I go to the pub.
