Miss the 90s and the raves?
No longer recognise the players in the England team?
Coppers getting younger?
Can't hang a wet towel off it anymore?
No idea what a 67 is?
Too proud to seek therapy?

People on the bus or tube asking if you’d like to sit down (not that I’m complaining, tbf).


Happened to me for the first time last week. Fortunately I laughed rather than got offended.

My worst habit is whenever someone tells me they’re going somewhere in London, I insist on telling them what is was like about 1980.

Lack of practice?

Yes, this - particularly from daughter's Uni friends.

I like it and I don't like it in equal measure.

I was on the Central Line going to a game earlier in the season and got chatting to a couple of QPR supporters half my age who found it literally incredible that my first visit to Loftus Road was in 1973 (a precedent-setting 3-0 League Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle). Of course it was standing room only and every time a seat became available a more determined and agile younger person grabbed it. This started to annoy one of the blokes I was talking to and when the situation arose again, in the vicinity of Lancaster Gate, he tapped the offending young person on the shoulder and said, “Come on, fella. Let the old boy sit down!” Worse still, the young person, headphones glued to his ears and clearly completely oblivious, looked up at me, apologised immediately (“Oh, God, I didn’t realise …”) and vacated the seat.

But not directed at me. I'm 26.

My back went into spasm in Sainsbury’s recently when I reached out to pull a 2-litre carton of milk off the shelf. Couldn’t move for four days. Also, waking up in the morning with injuries I didn’t have when I went to bed.

Sorry to start off with a minging one.

Used to have a party trick where I could piss over a 8ft wall. Now I almost have to wring it out like a dishcloth to empty it properly.


My old landlord's best mate had a reputation for being able to p1ss a long way. My old landlord told me he used to announce his arrival at my old landlord's first floor flat by p1ssing on his window .

It all sounded pretty far fetched to me but then I met the bloke on my old landlord's stag do. As we were walking into the town centre, he entertained us by weeing over a lane of traffic. Impressive, if you like that sort of thing .

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Dont miss the late nights out amongst all the throngs and the noise of a mad night out anymore. Happy in my own space. Loved it and needed it in my 20s and 30s and even if i still think i am an aging teenager, must have progressed to some levels of maturity. Although, some days i do still have my moments !!

But a story from an incident I had in Morrisons cafe on a mid Saturday morning.

Asked for the small breakfast and a coffee and the young lady on the till asked me.

"Are you 16?"

"16?" I gasped. "16?"

"Yes 16?" she said again.

i was totally flabbergasted. I am 58 and i think I look young for my age but only Stevie Wonder himself would guess my age to be that of a mid teen. Anyhow i looked up above the till and proudly displayed on a poster highlighting the deal of the day which said -

'Small breakfast and coffee half price for customers aged 60 and over.'


Maybe i am a middle aged old b'stard after all. Deaf at the very least !!!

Not being good at sleeping when I should be and being brilliant at it when I shouldn’t be.

And what’s left of my knees.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?
