    You know when you're getting old when - find oneself mocking birds in heels as it really is too much effort

    Especially when you have to get up because you need a pee.

    Here's another one - I used to be able to drive from Wellingborough to Cornwall in one go (4-5 hours) - now need a couple of "convenience breaks" on my travels down lmao

    When you realise 1991 was 20 years ago, and not 10.

    Getting up from my back when I was messing with wires in the footwell of my car today took about 5 hours. I never thought the 'pains' and 'aches' of growing older would come, but they have.

    When you realise the truth of 'You don't stop playing because you get old - you get old because you stop playing'.

    ............ and you find out that you are older than MSG.

    I was sat in the car today, stopped at a pedestrial crossing. It was lunch time. It was raining. There were about 50 kids from the local school crossing over and I thought to myself:

    "It's cold and raining, none of them have jackets on"

    I also found myself on the M90 and overtook a chap in a Focus RS, I sped up from 70mph to 85mph in order to complete said move... and as I did I thought to myself:

    "Here, this things got some amount of power behind it..."

    It's a fooking 2 ton diesel Volvo with 140bhp.

    Radio 1 is crap though. Any station who employs Chris ****ing Moyles deserves to have no listeners at all.

    Haha this is very true; I am now so used to my 90bhp N/A diesel Merc that when I drive the new 140bhp Honda Civic diesel pool cars at work, they feel like a rocket ship. I can't beleive what I have become.
