You're older than your parents were when you left school.
As "juvenile" is young and "senile" is old, it's obvious the middle aged is just "nile".
I see nobody's yet mentioned the Special Invite and accompanying Free Gift you get from the NHS when you turn 55.Standards on YACF are definitely slipping...
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.

Quote from: Mr Larrington on 26 February, 2015, 11:57:57 amDunno about the rest of youse but I used diligently to buy "Sounds" every week. And sneer at the Trendies who read the NME. And at the Saddoes who bought "Melody Maker". And especially at the ["Removed after taking legal advice" - Ed.] "Record Mirror" buyers.I did once buy a copy of "Smash Hits", unless it was "Flexi-Pop", but only because there was a Motörhead flexi-disc on the cover.I've just been reminded that I used to save up and buy tapes in woolworths and whsmiths, and later CD's especially putting them on pre order. Now I just browse an app and get what I want, only occasionally I miss shuffling through racks in a shop trying to avoid the creepy old men in leather jackets.

I know I'm middle-aged; two of my younger siblings already have grandchildren and the next sibling will hopefully become a grandmother next month.
... you get really annoyed by poorly punctuated tattoos on the unconscious people that you're looking after in the operating theatre.Seriously people, spellcheck that tat and get someone to proofread it before you put it on your skin. It's not difficult.What is difficult is resisting the urge to correct that shit with a biro before they wake up.
