    Oh, and during the weekends, ensure that you're wearing jeans that don't actually cover your pants.

      It wasn't an error bound - it was clearly defined as the lower limit. The upper limit is your age multiplied by 1.2.

        I always try and keep an 'all year tan' courtesy of my regular trips to 'St. Tropez'...

        +1 on the nasal and ear hair. You pull them out from your nose and ears, and they seem to magically disappear from the top of your head

          Is there an app where you can upload your picture and see what you'd look like with a No1 all over? Opticians have one for varying styles of glasses.

          Just caught site of the back of my head in the lift mirrors.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            don't drive everywhere at 15mph
            don't wear excessive amounts of lavender/brylcreem
            remember that your memory is failing

              I always have that when riding on the bus in London where they have the CCTV monitor in front of you, with the camera behind you.

              "Whose that bald f**ker with the earring."

              "Oh that'll be me then."

                Oops, forgot to mention that my formula isn't suitable for anyone below the age of about 45.

                  dont use expressions like:

                  cool
                  sweet
                  safe cuz

                  don't laugh when two blokes in the office announce they are getting married.

                  never, ever, ever 'do shots' - go to the loo, unzip your fly, pull your tie out by mistake and piss your pants.

                    I say cool a lot, but then I am the young side of 40 so I can get away with it.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      Do you say 'coolio' as well? Or 'fab' or 'gear'?
