eh? Speak up sonny...

I didn't realise she sang too, but if she is on your lawn check if she's got an umbrella

Don't know if she can sing.I suppose she looks ok from behind though.

I'm so old that I can hardly answer any of the questions on Radio 2 pop quiz.  Most seem to be records or artists I've never heard of.  First realised I was getting old when I was listening to Radio 2 chart show (Pick of the Pops?) and didn't recognise any of it.  Think I was 35 at the time!

Somebody named "Rhianna" (not sure if she has a second name) has just broken the record held by The Beatles for most weeks at #1 on the Billboard top 10. Thing is, I couldn't name or recognize a single thing she sings.

Count me in on that as well.

I can still remember listening to a Rolling Stones track on the radio as a young teenager, my mother asking me if really liked it and commenting that it could not be called 'music'. Exactly how I feel nowadays about 'RAP', 'house' or 'hop-hip' (or whatever it's called). By the way, I do know enough to know that Rhianna probably does not fall into either of these categories.

I can also remember coming back home on holiday as a student and being in tears of laughter watching a Monty Python sketch on TV, and my mother asking me if I really found it funny. Exactly how I now feel about some of the young comedians these days - far too much gratuitous cruelty in their humour for me.

Yes - although I still ride a motorbike, I too am most definitely 'old'.

+1 to what he jus said, ya'know, wasizname.   I'm exactly the same, grandkids are listening to music that I'm tempted to say (shout) turn that racket off, just like my ol' fella.   There are no good comedians these days,  no TV comedy worth watching & don't get me started about the rubbish on the telly,  hundreds of friggin' stations & all rubbish;  not like it was in my day & we only had one station.

You know you've reached official old age when you start to brag about it.  Then as time passes you lose interest in sex, your friends drift away & your children ignore you.  There are other advantages of course, but these are the outstanding ones.

And finally:  As we approach the twilight years, thoughts come around to ways of making the most of your time,  I've perfected the art of coughing, farting (with or without solids) & peeing at the same time,  a great time saver.   Problem is I need to be careful about involuntary coughs in polite company.

I thought she was an actress in the film Battleship.  Didn't realise she purports to sing too.

I'm skipping this thread. You youngsters are all using too small a font.

Mike, you gave me a good laugh.

perhaps you should give lessons to the youngsters!

None of you guys can be really old. You're not even pedantic enough to point out Winky's spelling mistake 

that's because most of us don't know or care how her name is spelled. 

This weekend we start the local League Cricket season. I'm officially old as I have told one and all it will be my last as a team regular, and nobody demurred.

Hah, similarly, I'm looking to get my son into a cricket team and they have an old boys team as well. I thought I'd see if they need anyone to help them out on odd weekends if they're short of numbers as I'd like to get back into the game and they assumed I meant as an umpire! Cheeky f*ckers.

Judging from the local standard they must think you are deaf and blind as well then.

(Getting my excuses in early).

More than likely...
