God, I'm old
Having enjoyed taking the piss out of my boss for years - now I have the piss taken out of :o(

My father is concerned that I've not yet got a girl pregnant so he has a grandchild (is this the only reason to have kids?)

When I talk about Belle and Sebastian (the girl and the dog) antics on tv, people assume I'm talking about the theme tune to Teachers or something.

» Scars with history

My List
4th Birthday - scar on head from jumping off wall onto broken glass
5th Birthday - scar number 2 on head hit with hammer by sister
6th Birthday - forehead scar - going down a slide head first (indoors) when a little shit shuts the door at the end of the slide.
Xmas 1983 - appendectomy when appendix bursts on Boxing day.
1992 - scars to both arms when carrying paving slabs that pinch and tear my skin
1994 - girl scratches me - 1 inch scar on back of hand
1995 - broken leg just above ankle after I collided with a car on my motorbike - my leg left a good dent though
1996 - 6 inch knee scar - operation to insert a rod down my tibia to help heal my leg from the bike accident (3 years it took - three years to walk again)

Sorry for long post

I've just checked most posting for spelling mistakes and then corrected them!

Oh God I'm old, part trois
Reading everyone elses replies and nodding my head in agreement.

Being informed by my best mate's girlfriend that he has bum grapes and then having a serious conversation with him about what remedies exist.

In my day exams were a lot tougher - it's true!

I take work seriously - (ffs)

Recently dated a girl that had just started primary school when I left secondary school.

My village seems to have been taken over by chavs. They hang around the off-licence trying to get me to buy them alcohol and lean against their cars because they think they looks cool (is this word still appropriate in this context?). In my day, my mate looked old enough to get served AND Ford Escorts (mark II and III) were real proper cars.

God, I'm old - part deux
I enjoy 'The West Wing' and not worrying that I'm staying in on a Friday night.

Calling the gap year students at my company the little ones or kids.

Wanting to go to pubs to have a conversation and be heard because there IS NO music.

Needing a diary to remember what I did, needing a diary to remember what I've got to do.

Grey hairs in my beard
Grey pubes (at 34!!!!!!!!!)

Driving a 1300cc car because it's economical.

Watching a young filly's lycra clad bottom waggle on the stepper in the gym (no, actually I enjoyed that as a youngster)
