Left ankle 'clicks' at will.

 

A desire to move to a village, cos I've done 'town'. Besides its quieter and darker.

 

Realising you're not that arsed about technology and upgrades. I'll just keep the phone I've got. Sure a bit of extra memory, few megapixels more on the camera, bit quicker and nicer screen would be nice. Just don't make it more confusing. Just let me have the same basic phone and functions. I dread to think what comes after smartphones.

 

Any small thing over 2 quid, seems expensive. Tellys, cars, houses at stupid prices are fine. Razorblades, packs of berrys, icecream etc seem 'pricey'.

I'm hoping to finish uni in December, more than 8 years after I started and when I was there the other week me and my mates didn't get offered any of the flyers to club nights or happenings in town. Granted, we look and dress considerably older (and significantly less trendy) than the students but I realised that the freshers starting this year, those that I have to mingle with, where 10 when I was a fresher.

 

Bastards. Scruffy, student faced, sick on the streets, haircut wearing bastards.

Being really happy with a new Dyson.

 

I got myself a refurbed Dyson at a car booty about 5 years for £25, I was delighted and it worked brilliantly till I moved 3 weeks ago and left it in my flat.

 

The fact I was I delighted with it back then, was the moment I realised I was getting old, and I was only 28.

I think today's music is shit, I remember my dad saying such and my grandparents too ( mums don't count they seem to like any shit they just can't remember what it's called but it goes like this.. Cue some hummed jazz medley that supposed to be Katy perry ).

 

Hitting an animal hide with a hip bone must be the shit if quality improves with ever previous generation.

 

* predictive text turned previous into pre Iliad, nice.

Don't know wether to put this in here on the date thread but Mad shit today, I'm driving home from work when an ad comes on the radio for an over 35's disco/dance whatever you call it, Bo Jo's 35 it's called, it's a well known pick up bar in Dublin, the reason it's mad is I'd never heard the ad before and I'm 35 tomorrow, bloody hell it made me 1 feel old and 2 thank god I'm married to a wonderful woman and we have 2 amazing kids.

I really don't think I'd be able to handle dating again, saying that I've mates of similar age who love the single life and are like rabbits there putting it about that much, and will probably never settle down and live like there 25 not 35. I really don't think I'd have the energy to head clubbing every weekend
