Re: Things that make you feel old
I fell asleep whilst soldering once, in the early hours of the morning. It was years ago now but I can still remember waking to the delightful smell of barbecue...which turned out to be my arm.

Re: Things that make you feel old
Waking feeling great then falling down the stairs again, bloody stupid leg, did it at ASDA on Tuesday, hit my head and woke up 1Hr 30Mins later and no bugger offered help, thought I was drunk HEY WORLD I DO NOT DRINK well orange and lemon and coffee I do drink.
What the hell wrong with this world when a old git falls over in a suit and tie with a walking stick, he is not normally drunk. Bloody staff also ignored me bastards, I had hell of a headache and bruising . Grrrrrr OK I am fine now got of my chest Grrrrr

Re: Things that make you feel old
What ? You were laying on the floor out of it for that long and NOBODY helped. That is disgusting Colin, my faith in the human race was already at a very low level and this has just removed any that was left. ![Screaming :angry-screaming:](./images/smilies/angry/screaming.gif)

Re: Things that make you feel old
I think it might be more to do with this country than the human race. I can remember people giving up their seats for me on public transport in Rome when I had a walking stick after breaking my foot.

Re: Things that make you feel old
Realising that upon waking every morning your first conscious thought is now "OUCH!" ...or even more often than that - "F*CK*NG OUCH!!"
