    You know you are getting old when...

    ... you start sentences with "In my day..."

    a single bottle of wine turns into a HUGE hangover (i.e last saturday morning)..

    .. although it was part of my experiment "how cheap a bottle of wine is actually drinkable without complaint?"

    ..i've subsequently found out the answer is above 1€ 50 for a litre

      or, of course, the other Daily Mail variants;
      ‘young people today…’
      ‘bring back the birch…’
      ‘these people who…’
      ‘living off our taxes…’
      ‘national service would sort them out…’
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        When you make a sigh of relief as you sit down
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            "Of course, there were no mobile phones then".

            "Of course, you didn't have the internet then".

                    When travelling, I used to take every opportunity to get a drink; then it changed to something to eat; then to catch up on some sleep; now it's to go to the toilet.
