old folk get impatient usually because they have little else to worry about, so little things become important.

Oh, and old women! Irritable impatient fist waving bints some of them. (But by no means all obviously) Just now, 30mph in a 30. A possey of bints stride deliberately to the side if the road, off the kerb and into the road, obviously assuming I'm going to stop. WRONG. Obviously.

And the closer I get, the more the faces frown, the mouths open, and expletives are mouthed as I pass with a fist wave thrown in. Well obviously I have to reverse up and enquire as to what the precise problem is, only to be met by the lady who lives opposite at the back of the group, out power walking with her gang. Local bloody terrorists. It seems I had the ordasity to be driving on the road when they wanted to cross. Tough shit. Wait your turn for the only car in sight for miles.

JeezARSE ! I've just fixed her car battery issues and there's the thanks I get.

Shoot the bloody lot if em I say >:(


Right. All done now. Carry on ;D

Not getting in to the old person debate ( i like old people personally) but terrorists is a good description of ''walking groups''. They are afterall an offshoot of the communist party!!!

Old people are a bloody pain in the arse.

........and they smell of stale piss.

If we had a'cull' of all people over 70 then we would save the country billions of pounds. :y

Then your days would be numbered Opti :o :o ;)


I think you mean 'our' days are numbered, Henry. :D ;D ;D

I'm just a young lean mean machine like yourself Opti :y :-\ :-X

old people (like me  ::) ) get impatient because they realise that their remaining time is precious.
 and a lot shorter if they keep jumping out in front of cars  ;)

When I visit my elderly parents I'll be there for a couple of hours and, just as I get up to leave, they will ask if I can have a look at something that needs fixing. Why don't they mention it when I arrive, instead of when I'm just leaving.  ::)

When I take them food shopping they zig zag all over the shop instead of going up and down each aisle, so it takes ages.  ::)
I'm educating them on both of the above though, Bless em.  :y ;D

That's because they are trying to miss all the unruly kids who see it as a playground, along with the young parents who couldn't give a toss as long as the kids aren't bothering them.... :-[  :-X

I'm a bit p****ed off with the generalisations on this thread, notwithstanding the underlying pisstakes, While I fully appreciate that many of you are less than half my age, and are still gainfully(?) employed, not all of us 'retired' and over a certain age are in their dotage. For example, for the last six weeks I have been working on an extension on our house, starting at 8.00 each morning and not finishing until 6.30 or later. I am now on the downhill leg, having fitted the kitchen units and sink over the past two days, and tomorrow I lay the floor tiles. I have done all the plumbing and electrics, and did the labouring for the brickie and plasterer, I hope that you are all still capable of doing such works when you reach my age (77.5), as well as maintaining your Omegas, which I hope to get back to when the garage is once more available. 8) ;) :y :y :y

you might be at work 8-630 but how much work is actually done? by the time you have but your boots on had a cup of tea thought about what you going to do,forgotten what you going to do  the day has gone  and you think you have had a hard day. a young man would start at 8 and finish at 4 and done the same amount of work .old people just move to slow as they are just passing time away as they have nothing else to do.
