2003?

2003?

Sixteen year olds can ride 50cc mopeds on a provisional licence.

Sorry I was thinking of cars, as my youngest has just started driving lessons, he was born in 2003.
Hopefully I can retire from being his taxi driver soon.

Seeing girls in their late teens/early 20s all dressed up for a night out and all I really think is 'how can they be warm enough in that, they're going to freeze later' and be genuinely worried

More concerned seeing them and thinking they look underage

 

[Tokyohands]

I'm 42 but my kids asked me what it was like 'in the olden days'.

I realised I'm old enough to be my work trainees dad.

I can't help but wake up after 6 hours sleep.

I don't know, nor do I care who the current celebrities are.

Also, last Friday night, I stayed in and watched Gardeners' World.

Nowt wrong with that, Monty has several tips to pass on as you put the Garden to Bed for the next 6 months. See You next Spring!

I'm not sure many of us ever did!


I rode my Lambretta to work this morning . . . . something I used to do every day come rain or shine, dark or light . . . It was more of an affordable necessity 30 years ago, very much an occaisional pleassure these days, not sure I could physically cope with 50 miles a day on a 60 year old shopping bike, every day all winter.

When you do some coding for a graduate at work to help them out and they say "Ah that's sick"... What do they mean by that?

 

[zefarelly]

I'd assume the missed an L out

What's coding anyway?

 

[Peter Grummit]

Oh, and Mrs Jakarta and I are going out today. Not to a Rave or even a Gig. RHS Wisley to look at the Autumn Colours. Rock and indeed Roll...

Chuckle. The missus and I still charge around the country going off cycling/hiking/kayaking, but nowadays look for an NT property with which to 'break the journey' and lower the average visitor age,

I now hate driving at night, especially in the rain. I love driving and have cars that are fun to drive but I really struggle with night driving now. My eyesight with glasses is fine so I am quite pissed off about this

 

[Easy 10]

I used to sneak out of home to go to parties.

Now I sneak out of parties to go home.

Do you still have the same one you used to bring round to Windlesham Gardens many moons ago? I'm sure that was you!

Can't believe next year I'm eligible for a Sunlife Over 50's plan.

Online ‘influencers,’ basically freeloaders pandering to lemmings who apparently can’t think for themselves and who apparently need to be advised on how to dress, what food to buy, the right way to take a shit etc.

Less makes me feel old than makes me despair of society.

Nice! I'm Kate and Ems younger bro if you hadn't figured it out already... Alex 'The Head' as I was known to Olly/Daniel and their mates

Just thinking about that makes me feel old!

 

[METALMICKY]

Can't believe next year I'm eligible for a Sunlife Over 50's plan.

And a free pen or lovely clock!

Radio One, my younger staff have it on in the workshop, it’s crap basically.

TOTP couldn’t come back now, as the hit parade is a sham
