There are also plenty of remarks against youth too. Plenty if implying that youngsters are rude too. Like all the oldies were angels when younger?

Stupid Boy!

You should have been done for misleading a Police Officer. To be pedantic, Primary School is from age 5 to 11, Infant School from 5 to 7 and Junior School from 8 to 11.

Got a lot of time for Peter Alliss - as I like his commentary and he gives a lot of his time to charity work. At one charity day at my place he and I spent a good while having a chat about this and that (also had a good chat with his very pleasant good lady). With me that day - no airs and graces from PA - and for someone in the 'public eye' or a celeb that's just dandy for me and marks him down as a good guy.

Used to work with a guy in brum whose brother plays on the senior tour. He told me that allis is a ledgend in golf, he caddied for his bro at the open birkdale (when rose chippedin) app allis biked to comms every day because he is a right royal piss head and spends most of his rime in the bolligner tent.

"Back in my day" used to really annoy me....
Now I find myself saying it more than I ought to...

One advantage of being in ones senior years is that you can head straight to the front of the queue without embarrassment...

BEFORE embarrassment maybe , :rofl:

 

[Dodger]

I was working at The Open and you are too right Fanny was involved.

 

[williamalex1]

Hey, as soon as old people work out what to do at mini roundabouts and that they do not have to slow down to 15mph to go round a slight bend then there will be no more agist jokes.

What goes around comes around , sunny boy. Yey Khany shove yer granny aff the bus. :ears:

 

[williamalex1]
