Merthyr Imp 729 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 As a football supporter you realise that players you saw play have now retired from being managers. In my case that includes the likes of Colin Addison, John Barnwell, Graham Taylor, Jim Smith and Ron Atkinson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveN 1,118 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Here's a list I posted previously in the Jokes thread YOU KNOW YOU’RE OLD WHEN Caution is the only thing you exercise Everything hurts and what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work Most of your clothes have elasticated waists It takes twice as long to look half as good It’s hard to feel as fit as a fiddle when you’re shaped like a cello You realise life begins at 40 but so do aches and pains People offer you their seat on a bus Someone recommends an anti wrinkle cream The first page you look at in the “Post” is “Bereavements” The only thing that stays in your head for more than a few hours is a cold The only thing that whistles at you is the kettle You realise that time is a healer not a beauty specialist You’re like a baby, dribble and regularly wet yourself You can pinch an inch – on your forehead You don’t comb your hair you rearrange it You don’t have wrinkles – just pleats You don’t leave home without painkillers You feel like it’s the morning after but there wasn’t a night before You have a hangover all the time – over the top of your pants You have everything you had 20 years ago but it’s lower You only get one candle on your birthday cake Your back goes out more than you do You’ve got a reserved seat at the doctor’s surgery You remember the latest styles from the first time around You say “they don’t make things like they used to” You regularly take naps Your medicine chest is better stocked than your drinks cabinet Your fingers are so fat you can’t pick your nose Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,337 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Stick with it Hippo Girl. It's not that bad. It's just different! New things create new pathways in the brain. Don't give up. You will get used to it, honest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,498 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hippo Girl, can you explain what you are (or aren't) seeing on your iPad. I've just looked at the new site for the first time on my FIRE tablet, and that was a bit confusing until I worked out what to do. I think your iPad will be ok, but maybe you aren't looking in the right place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hang in there, Hippo. So far I've used it on my Ipad and laptop. Works fine on both it will take a while to learn all of my way around. I also found I needed to make a new bookmark for the site. I suppose the old one takes you to the old address and that caused login issues. Delete your old NS bookmark if you have one. Haven't found the smilies yet, and I wish there were post numbers so we can avoid too much quoting. Other than that it will be o-k. And I'm not some kind of techie. Just average.

davep5491 360 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 You know you're getting old when your 40/50 year old offspring tell you you're slowing down. After a working lifetime dashing around the U.K. at 80+mph I decided that when I retired I would slow down and stick to speed limits when driving, managed this for past 12 years but the 'kids' take the mick call me Miss Daisy, they normally travel at speeds approaching warp 6. I had been thinking about their comments and decided to speed up a bit making driving enjoyable again and even resulted in a nice letter on behalf of the Chief Constable she has made a conditional offer of a £100 fixed penalty and 3 points. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,235 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 My Daughter and her family have just spent a week in Kent near Orpington.....and I casually remarked about the famous Orpington by-election......''what you on about Dad ?................'.tell her' I says to her mam.....to which I got the same reaction......I was then going to mention the 'Aldermaston march' but decided against it. At the weekend I was talking to a young chap in his 20s,who told me he was going to Pryzm or somewhere,only after a long conversation did it turn out that's what the Palais' is called now days.........the only sensible conversations I seem to get nowadays are with people my age and a few on here...lol. I'm sure they keep changing things just to confuse some of us older un's 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
