I first realised I was getting on, when people stopped giving me nightclub flyers in the street...

This!!!!

Old persons protest chant:

(Lead) 'What do we want'

(All) 'We don't know'

(Lead) 'When do we want it'

(All) 'Want what?'

When you spy an item of clothing in a shop and think "Oooh, that looks comfortable". Or "waterproof", or "warm".

You choose your destination of hostelry by whether you can get a seat or not.

When you get pissed off when the media put out statistics which suggest nothing important happened in football before 1992.

Thanks Greens :(
When a dolly at a bus stop beckons you to get on before her :cry:

(And any man who says it is chivalrous to let a woman get on before him really means it gives a good opportunity to check out her arse :lolol: )

... when some kid on a message board says "some old prick ( about late 40's )" and it's not the word 'prick' that offends you ....

When you have to tilt your head upwards, to see the screen through the right part of your varifocals.

When steak & ale pie flavour crisps remind you of when you remember cheese & onion flavour being the new kid on the block.

..when you have no idea who is in the charts
 
















Or you're old enough to be invisible to them, so you can gawp at them to your heart's content without them noticing.

This tidbit was brought to you by Silver Linings 'R' Us.

YOU may be invisible to them, but unless I qualify as 'too young' - they almost always seem to check to see if I notice 'em. ???
However, I must add that they pull down the shirt or at the hem of the skirt after passing..... so I suppose any attention :p is not being exactly encouraged :down:

Lol! True though.
I got into something with some lanky lug in his early 20's in a bar once, and he shouted to his mate about "these old '40-year-olds' think we should grow up" (actually we said nowt to or about his crew, but anyway....)
I felt momentarily flattered, being as I was/am still in my 50s.
Still knocked him on his arse when he went for me though, for old times. :lolol:
