Mumble Report post Posted September 22, 2007 I just went past lots of pyjama-clad freshers in my corridor. I thought they'd all finally conceded that going to bed at night and getting up at a reasonable hour in the morning, as I do, was actually a good idea. See I lead by example. But no . . . They were on their way out to a pyjama party - I suddenly feel very very old Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If its any consolation no one even had PJ parties when I woz young enough to go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bard Report post Posted September 22, 2007 If its any consolation no one even had PJ parties when I woz young enough to go We had parties, no-one brought pyjamas. I feel old and very decadant! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frangipani Report post Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) I think it is the new norm for parties. We have a dozen or so teenage girls here every Tuesday fortnightly for a connect group - they all turn up in their pj's I guess its easier when you get home - just have to do your teeth then fall into bed Edited September 22, 2007 by Frangipani Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted September 23, 2007 .... but not as old as me, Mumble Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted September 23, 2007 .... but not as old as me, Mumble This is true. *Dances around feeling young and sprightly again* p.s. Pearl - don't try the above - I hear those articifical hips, knees, elbows, teeth and other joints aren't as strong as they look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted September 23, 2007 *nods in agreement* No worries there Mumbs, I always maintained that exercise is a Bad Thing, & all these footballers with their broken metatarsals just prove my point Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNeil Report post Posted September 25, 2007 They were on their way out to a pyjama party - I suddenly feel very very old Mumble, I hate to break it to you but...you are (see, there's Aspie understanding for you). However it could be worse as you could be me and, as Emily keeps pointing out just how ancient I am (33), I'm beginning to reach that point where I daren't lie down while wearing a suit just in case someone mistakes me for a corpse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted September 25, 2007 Mumble, I hate to break it to you but...you are (see, there's Aspie understanding for you). how ancient I am (33), Cor - that is old. I'd be starting out on that long shuffle to the post office to draw your pension if I was you (which I'm not - I'm a lot younger) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted September 26, 2007 I actually had what I think counts as my first 'Senior Moment' this morning . . . walking down to breakfast, I couldn't work out for the life of me why the halls manager would put up a new notice on the board in such a small, fuzzy font so that it was practically unreadable . . . . . . and then I realised I'd forgotton to put my glasses on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badonkadonk Report post Posted September 26, 2007 I wake up every morning feeling like I'm on drugs or like someone has detuned the world until I put my specs on. I can't see a flippin thing without me specs glued to my face! There are however benefits to this... I can't see Neil's ugly mug I can't see my own even uglier mug I can't see Neil looking at my ugly mug and reeling in horror I can't see the time and therefore can make up the time to be whatever I want it to be so I don't have to get up Despite all this though you lot are doomed regardless as you forget, compared to me, you are all really really really really old. Much older than me than you think you are of each other (wow does that even make sense?) Being just 24. That's T-W-E-N-T-Y F-O-U-R for those who can't read small print anymore, even you Mumble I'm afraid are much older than me and therefore ancient and staring death in the face. Hope you all have a wonderful afternoon Emily xxx Who is 24 That's right 2 and 4 Young Not old Not in the least bit Nurr Nurr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devon mum Report post Posted September 29, 2007 My twelve year old son asked me this morning if girls went to school when I was little! Yeah, you feel old when your kids come home and say "mum did they have computers in the olden days when you were young" cheeky little blighters!!! Har and here's me approaching 21 again! Can you use a zimmer frame and white cane at the same time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bard Report post Posted September 29, 2007 Yeah, you feel old when your kids come home and say "mum did they have computers in the olden days when you were young" Is that supposed to be comforting? Because my answer would be " No they didn't! " Bet pearl's answer is the same! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bard Report post Posted September 29, 2007 I remember when it was all fields round here.... I remember getting a shilling a week pocket money, and if I saved for two weeks, Grandma would give me 6d. And a half-crown would buy me a book! Them were the days eh! Can we start an Old F*rts thread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted September 30, 2007 I've just remembered, I DO remember computers. In the early 60s, my dad took me to work with him & with great reverence led me to the Computer Room. Yes, the computer was so large it needed an entire room to itself. I remember lots of glass doors with wheels inside. I spose if the microchip hadnt been invented we'd have all needed extensions on our houses! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted September 30, 2007 I remember being excited at school after being given the opportunity to type on an electric typewriter, instead of a manual one BTW, I've noticed grey eyebrows are appearing....now that means I AM officially very old Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got grey ones too, if you pluck them out you just end up with sparse eyebrows I think I'll get them dyed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
