    Help! I think I am turning into my Dad.

    While watching TV a short while ago I saw a chap with a thick crop of woolly hair and said out loud "He should get a haircut!".

    This is the first time that I have ever thought or said such thing.

    My Dad used to say similar things when I was growing up, why have I started this now?

    I have always liked my rock music so men with long hair are perfectly normal in my eyes so I am more than a little surprised that this happened.

    I am in my mid-thirties which I don't think is very old so should I be expecting this change in attitudes to happen and is it a normal part of the ageing process?

    You are doomed. Soon you will spend most of your day in the shed sorting out your screws. You can join my screw sorting out forum if you like, the other week we had a fascinating discussion about whether it was acceptable to put 2 1/2" and 3" screws in the same box.

      Cardigans are getting better these days aren't they? Hush puppies may not look that good but they really are comfy.

        I've already bought you a pipe and slippers for Christmas.

                Great deals at cooperative funerals and they're an ethical company
