Title: You know your getting old when....
Post by: rem2007 on October 27, 2008, 11:17:17 pm
You kind of know your getting old when certain things start occurring such as famous or infamous people start doing advertisements for things on TV....
case in point, the new commercial for a butter with Johnny Rotten or the advertisement for fishsticks with Suggs from Madness, where have the years gone or better yet, where have theirs' gone {-) {-)

'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs
And make love,' and you answer, 
'Pick one; I can't do both!'


'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your friends compliment you
On your new alligator shoes
And you're barefoot.


'OLD' IS WHEN...
A sexy babe catches your fancy
And your pacemaker opens the garage door,

'OLD' IS WHEN...
Going bra-less
Pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
You don't care where your spouse goes,
Just as long as you don't have to go along.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police

'OLD' IS WHEN..
'Getting a little action'
Means you don't need to take any fibre today.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting lucky' means you find your car
In the parking lot.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
An 'all nighter' means not getting up
To use the bathroom.

AND

'OLD' IS WHEN...
You are not sure these are jokes?

Took me ages to suss out the lyrics for a Dead Boys song way back in '77, but sadly this is a family forum, and were all much older,
One of the best shows I saw back in the early 80s was The Escape from New York tour with Blondie, The Ramones and The talking Heads, but I'm still faithful to my Canuck roots Teenage head, The Diodes, Rough Trade, Doug and the Slugs, RUSH and our contribution to rock music history, Neil Young :-))

I have just received my clubs news letter with some examples I thought I might share.

Middle age is when broadness of mind and narrowness of waist change places.

Remember. When you get over the hill you pick up speed.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

An old couple are lying in bed one morning after a good nights sleep. He takes her hand and she responds "don't touch me" "Why not" he asks. "Because I am dead"

"What are you talking about" he replied. "We are both lying here in bed together and talking to one another" "No she said I am defiantly dead"  "No you are not" he insisted. "What in the world makes you think you are dead".

"Because I woke up this morning and nothing hurts" came the reply.

Ah. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Because I'm too old for a proper job I work as a van driver and we have just taken on a couple of lads so the works radio (wireless) has been re-tuned from Radio 2 to Radio 1. Is it tuneless rubbish or is it me? I remember when this was all trees around here (with just the occasional dinosaur).
Title: Re: You know your getting old when....
Post by: das boot on November 16, 2008, 08:12:48 am
Radio 1? I offer my condolences Olly...thump thump music with loads of midless chit chat thrown in, can't stand it. The radio in my truck is tuned to Classic FM and there it stays, anyone who even thinks about retuning it knows the penalty they face  <*< <*<

We don't get many dinosaurs round here now, our visitors from the Eastern shores tend to eat 'em...   %)

I'm sorry but I can't find any of these artistes of whom you speak in my wax cylinder collection and my cats whisker has been broken for some time. It's all very confusing.

THE   SENILITY PRAYER

Grant  me  the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
The good  fortune to  run into the ones I do,
And the eyesight to tell  the  difference.
