You Know You're Getting Old When...

[Roger Kettle]

Ah, yes, I can see it all, Peeps....the two of you lying there in bed...you lean towards her and gently clink cocoa mugs...

[peter]

How many days have you got to do these five miles?

Only the one. They that is a dog sanctuary are going to let me take one of their dogs with me.
Probably as a guide.
This will be about four times longer than I have walked for about five years.

[peter]

Don't let it get you down, Roger. They weren't all bad.

Another thing that makes me feel old, is turning in at night with my bird, chatting to her about how great England's World Cup win was in 1966, seeing that she's rapidly fallen asleep, then realising she wasn't even born in 1966...

Bet you can name the eleven without looking them up.

Help! Is there an interpreter on the forum?

Yes .... I can see how you manage to get all these young birds: it's your scintillating bedside manner!

The weird thing is that I know exactly what he means, but it still hurts my brain when I read it.

Tarquin, if you know what he means, explain it to me. I haven't a clue!

Try this vulture
IT should only take one day to walk this sponsored walk for a dog sanctuary
They are going to lend me a dog which will mean that we will take altogether three dogs. There dog probably will show me the way.
I used to walk at weekends all over Derbyshire but since my rheumatics got worse I have only taken the dogs on a mile walk.

OK. I've got most of this, Peter. But why, if you're only getting the loan of one dog, do you end up with three?

[Vulture]

Alright. I think I've worked it out. Two of the dogs are your own!

[peter]

Well done see it only take a small bit of brain power.
Managed to limp around the route did better than I thought.
Did not have to call a ambulance or take oxygen.

Congratulations. I hope someone prepared a nice bowl of water to soak your feet in!

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Good man, Peter. Now remember - let the dogs make the pace, then 200 metres from the line, kick for home, but only if you see the whites of their eyes. And don't look back - use wing mirrors!

It's my knees that want the help they will hurt in the morning. May need the whole morning in bed to get over it.
