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.

Well, in that case, I'm definitely not middle aged yet. I sort my screws into 50mm and 60mm sizes.

I have this irrational yearning for a brown Rover 2000. Does that count?

[BrilloPad]

is it a normal part of the ageing process?

Of course it is. What made you think it might not be?

[sweetandsour]

Oh well. Thanks for that everyone, that's a lot of help.

I can see that turning into Victor Meldrew is an inevitable part of the ageing process that I should learn to embrace.

Now, I have received a letter from the council telling me that they are fining me for not sorting my rubbish into different coloured bins. I don't believe it!

Of course it isn't acceptable, next thing you will be saying that you mix slotheads and posidrives, that's a slippery slope to combining brass and anodised zinc in the same container!!!!

Stone the heretic.

Where the hell did I put my pipe?

...and beige goes with everything...

brown, much better and doesn't show the dirt as much

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

Have you taken out a funeral expenses plan yet?

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

I think you are doomed. There's nothing wrong with long hair on a man

I saw someone wearing socks with flip flops yesterday

[norrahe]

next thing you'll be wearing socks with your lovely brown sandals

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?

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