Think I’ve said this before (another sign) but turn into a soppy cunt and crying at anything. 

 

I even have my 7 year old niece taking the piss now because I cried when Mufasa dies.

Puzzling at your son’s idea of dressing up looks like dressing down

To be fair to them I started wearing 501s and a t-shirt, polo shirt or shirt in about 1996 and have essentially adopted the uniform ever since. Going to work, going to a social gathering, it doesn't matter what it is it's pretty much all I wear.

 

I try to avoid anything that is dress up if at all possible. If I do a funeral I manage trousers and a shirt but that's about it.

 

Unfortunately whenever I wear a suit I always look like a cross between the defendant and a sack of shit tied up in the middle.

My dad, who is 30-odd years my senior, is

trendier than me. I’ve been wearing the same sort of stuff for years and haven’t been interested in fashion since I was a teenager.

You've really surprised me there Tony.

I love clothes and consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable about them. However, I’m not into current trends, I just like what I like.

Remembered to take one of the thousand bag for lifes in my car boot into the supermarket with me to carry my shopping in today.

 

First hint of evolving I’ve shown in about 8 years.

Was out on Tuesday night watching a certain game. Had a few shandies but nothing excessive, fell asleep on the couch last night at 8pm and didn't wake up until 7am this morning.

I sneezed this morning and pulled my hamstring

Being like a Subbuteo player after about six pints. Talking about the prices at Fine Fare these days , while having said pints.

Goodfellas was released in the cinema on this day, 29 years ago.

Being irrationally excited about getting a new hoover and delighted at how well it cleans compared to the knackered old one.

 

Although my son, who's just started Uni, is rivalling me in the old fart stakes at the moment- he texted his mum to say that Lidl did really good custard creams at a great price.

Pull away. The place is pristine now, not a dog hair in sight, all thanks to Harry.

On the contrary, I’m negging you. A new hoover that works brilliantly is one of life’s great pleasures. 

 

Congratulations, Mudface.

Thanks man. I'm still glowing a week after it got delivered.

I reckon he meant it’s a vacuum cleaner not a hoover.

 

Its like calling a public address system a tannoy.

 

Or a pedantic cunt a seasons.

Getting Man Flu easier. I very rarely got a cold but I've noticed since I turned 50 five years ago that no sooner does the temperature drop for the onset of colder weather I get a fucking cold.

I destroyed my one of those smiley faced cunts in a moment of Hoover rage after getting tangled up and the hose thing kept coming out thus turning my flat into ground zero and me covered in shite, I’ve a different one now with the scullery maid to do it, same fuckin’ noise though.
