(Only to use it in this D-I-Y shop at the self service checkout and then to have the alarm ring and have some teenager come galloping up to check if you really are old enough to buy a tube of glue. )

You read the National Holidays email of bargain coach tours ..... just in case there's anything you might fancy
If it wasn't for cars, there wouldn't be the amount of tarmac that there is.

This morning I sat down on the bed to put my socks on, then thought "hold it - when did I stop putting my socks on standing up?"
And couldn't remember, of course.

Have we got time for another cuppa?

I'm 19. Not 15 minutes ago, I sat on my chair and put my socks on. What were you doing all those years? Hopping around the room pulling socks on with one hand?

When you stop feeling a 'right burke'. When it becomes normal, in other words.
Re: You know you are getting older when .....
When you catch sight of yourself naked in a full length mirror,and it frightens you momentarily,coz you think someone else is in the room
PS,This is infinitely worse if theres two mirrors facing each other
Or,(and this really happened last week) I wear walking tyre trousers almost all the time these days but decide to put on a pair of denim jeans.
I immediately thought wow! these things are uncomfortable,why did I wear them all those years?
BTW,putting socks on stood up is a breeze,its all a matter of balance.....
.....and having a wall to lean on

And then you panic and put your reading glasses on first and still can't see who it is

These youngters today, don't know they're born. Didn't have chairs to sit on when I were a lad. Didn't have socks either, come to think of it so we didn't have any problem
