I was talkin' to some teenage kid the other day who had no idea who the Beatles , Bee Gees and ABBA were .....

his actual words to me , inbetween his incessant chewing of gum were ..' who the fuck's all them , innit?

seems so sad , mind you it hardly appeared to bother him as went off wavin' his hands in the air , and rappin' to himself !

New guy at my work, 19 years old - never heard of Pink Floyd.

I dont think thats to do with his age, he is just a turd

I've recently come to the conclusion that button up flys are too much hassle. Especially when your in the pub toilets after a few, and you're fiddling for ages trying to do the damn things up.

You dont drink just to get pissed, you actually need to like the drink you're drinking

You get back from a 4 day stag doo bender in Benidorm on Saturday night and are still rough as toast on the Wednesday!!!

Lol I know this feeling just had three nights in Hamburg on a stag do!

Never used to go out to get pissed, it just happened, especially at weekends (Friday to Thursday). Especially with bitter at 1s 10d a pint.

Pink Floyd - are they a "new Wave" band, as the 80s onwards are a blur (kids growing up, not pissed!). The last concert I went to was Neil Diamond, but have also been to Yes, Led Zep, Deep purple, Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, etc,etc, gigs when my hair was brown.

..... when the woman in the ad with her swimming costume getting into the easy access bath starts to look like she might be worth one.

....when 35 year old sportsmen are referred to as 'veterans'.

Watching Sky News yesterday and two Aussie cricketers were called up for the ashes of that age, and they were referred to as veterans. Mrs P sighed and said, 'bit fucked up that, when people our age are referred to as veterans'. She's right too.

Another is when teachers are clearly a good 10 years younger than you.

Oh, and Vilas Boas being younger than me. That really got to me that!
