I think I am stressed, and can't wait for my next holiday in TRNC.

Have just worked 14 days on the trot, finally today I had a Sunday off work.

What did I have planned..........nothing! just a lazy day in the garden enjoying the sunshine.

Things stared off ok, got the loungers out for the first time this year.

All was calm and peaceful until someone decided to have a go at drum practice in a garage a couple of doors away. I love music, but where is the consideration for neighbours.

Shortly after that finished the neighbours from hell arrived home (next door but one)together with just about every child from the area screaming and shouting while playing on their garden trampoline and splashing around in their inflatable swimming pool all afternoon.

That's my moan for the day, going to watch Top Gear.

Mr Grumpy

Since reaching the big five o last week ( didn't want to advertise it on the forum) I feel I now have the right to be grumpy.

My colleauges at work also say that I now fit in to the 'old man' category.

Isn't life wonderful when you are finally justified to be grumpy.

The only thing is, I don't feel like an old man, its only when I look back and remember things as clear as yesterday that happened over 30 years ago.



Todays moan,

why does that idiot doing 30mph in a 40mph speed limit insist on driving for two miles in the outside lane of a dual carriageway? and then turn left at the roundabout at the end.

OK you lot, what is wrong with being over 50. For me I do not need to work, live in a great country (except for builders), and I can still listen to Sir Terry Wogan enjoying the TOGS stuff.



The beauty here is we do not get the saga stuff anymore or the stair lift flyers.



The only person in our house that is a bit ...... well...... the toilet problem is the cat. Do not think we can get the incontinence pads on her!!!!!!!!



Old gits rule OK!!!!!!!

i'm not far off now.. nearer to 50 than 40 they were right about life begins at 40 . ask my niece , she can't believe the change after my 40th party i went on a diet lost the excess weight . grew my hair new wardrobe. now i have the gentlemen interested , strange that as no one bothered looking when i was young. it amuses my niece . what she fails to realise is it will happen to her soon now she is trying for a baby, her whole life will change and she won't have time for herself for the next 18 years . she doesn't believe me though

There is this guy who really takes care of his body, he lifts weights and jogs five miles every day. One morning he looks into the mirror and admires his body. he noticed that he is really sun-tanned all over, except for his, well lets call it, his "tinkle winkle" .... (if you know what I mean). So he decides to do something about it. He goes to the beach, strips completely and buries himself in the sand, except for his "tinkle winkle" sticking out of the sand.

Two little old ladies are strolling along the beach and one looks down and says "There is no justice in this world".



The other lady says, "What do you mean?"



The first lady says, "Look at that". When I was 10 Years old I was afraid of it. When I was 20, I was curious about it. When I was 30, I enjoyed it. When I was 40, I asked for it. When I was 50, I paid for it. When I was 60, I prayed for it. When I was 70, I forgot about it. And now that I'm 80, the damn things are growing wild!

I like the idea of an old farts club, can I be chairman of the Bogaz branch? As I get older I like bossing people around.

hi ilmd`s as trevor has now reached the grand old age of 50+ could you not be a bit more considerate too him.why not buy him a food processor to liquidise his food,or cut up his food for him,help him on with his slippers, and get his

prescriptions,when needed. this could have a profound impact on his outlook of life in his mellow years.

have a good day ilmdogs and look after the old feller.

cruggs i don't know how you dare...



i pamper him every day, i run his bath and rub cream in his weary feet for him.

as for the liquidiser it's too much fun watching him struggle. trying to cut his steak up. (bet he tells you he doesn't get any)
