You know you are getting old when....

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Katie, Apr 23, 2012.

  1. My baggy arse leathers have shrunk......


    OO-OW-OO-OO-OW-IH-EE-AH!

    AL
     
  2. seriously now - starting to consider looking to purchase socks with 'relaxed' elastic hems to prevent that 'torniquet ankle' look (and feel) when you go to bed..
    EDIT I can see a whole load of additional threads in this series :-

    You know you're over the hill when...
    You know you've lost your marbles when..
    You start to understand why no-one comes round anymore when..
    scitis cum sunt de occursum tuum factorem cum..

  5. Ah gotcha
    You nearly gave you bed socks away then ;-)
     
  6. nope dont be back tracking now thatyou've been sussed !!!! admit it you wear em to bed ................
     
  7. wouldn't know about that - buns of steel me :biggrin:



    ...however, is it a sign of getting old when you glare at the spotty yoof 'waiter/ress' when they refer to you and your family as 'guys'??
     
  8. Don't laugh, I lost a lot of weight using Paul Mckenna's hypnotism, that was 7 years ago, it still stays off. I have been to QVC a couple of times to do shows with him, and I have done some phone in interviews for it too. I have also been in loads of women's magazines about it, he even flew me (and a few other people) out to America to be filmed for his US show. It is funny the twists and turns life offers.
     
  9. ... when you find 'TXT TALK' annoying...

  10. Did it work Katie ?? was it a CD or something?

    Maybe the chap in the BMW incident had one of Chris's socks on??
     
  11. this "look" can actually affect my riding time!. If we are going out at night my girlfriend insists that we get back early enough on the bike to ensure those marks are gone before she gets ready. I will tell her she's getting old :eek:


    Chris. great avatar. That film was on film4 last night oddly enough. Great special effects :biggrin:

  12. Thanks Brian - re: 'socks' - so i'm not alone :upyeah: I've always loved H.G. Wells since school and I feel that I thoroughly 'get' him. The depth of his imagination was truly outstanding - it's mind -boggling to think that he wrote 'The War of the Worlds' before man had learnt to fly.. The first film version of 'The Time Machine' is the best for me but I think it's overlooked by most as it has a few lengthy lulls in places.
     
  13. C`mon Chris, spill the beans. Do your elasticated bed socks have "performance enhancing qualities?" :wink: :smile:

    If it`s a bit chilly I wear those slipper sock things, (not for bed though) the ones with the rubbery pattern on the sole, no performance advantage as such, just a bit of added traction, oo`er missus!
     
  14. you haven't got one of those big, single slipper things advocated by Billy Connolly have you? :wink:
     
  15. :biggrin: Not at the mo but..........
    I did see one in the shops a while ago and had to stop myself from having a closer look :cool: :eek:

    "I was gonna buy a pair, and leave them in the fireplace. When I'm going out at night, in case a burglar comes in. "my god, who lives here!"
     
  16. And.............
    If Ducati made those big slippers and added a bit of carbon would they be an ideal xmas gift for "The Ducatista Fashionista" about town.

    I can see some excited people waitin for their secret santa gift this year :biggrin:
     
  17. Yes it was a CD and yes it does work, I still use it now, once a week 7 years later and I have not put the weight back on.
     
  18. You know you are getting old when............

    .................you still think it's bad manners to have your elbows on the table!



    What was that all about???
     
  19. [h=2]You know you are getting old when............[/h]you feel like going to the gym but have a lie down till the feeling goes off.
     
  20. Table?

    What's a table?

    Is it one of them big platforms we all used to sit round and have dinner on, a long time ago?

    It's old hat, mate. That was back in the days when we used to pour scalding water onto dried leaves, then do our best not to get any of those leaves into the cup...
