The middle aged thread

I need agent orange on my ear hairs.

My barber did my nose without asking recently. I died a little. Actually, a lot.

Middle age....I miss it.

For more detail see the '60 plus and still going strong thread'

I went to a Turkish barber and he set fire to my ears... he could have warned me! I was in another place and a little kid asked his dad what the barber was doing as he trimmed my eyebrows. I said it happens as you get older. He burst into tears and said Noooooo! to his dad, I thought, I know how you feel son.

the turkish ear burn is a rare treat. there's a place just off cheapside that gives you a turkish hand massage whilst they singe your lugs.

Yep, my barber goes with the setting fire to my ears. There's always quite a burning hair smell afterwards.

Good thread, just had a look. This was a classic...

I've had loads of near misses on the stairs wearing slippers. My wife has categorically stated that she is never going to wipe arse if I damage my upper limbs. I always take great care.

"I wish they still made this thing, the new ones are shit"

I'm still at CDs as well, and blurays, screw that modern fangled stuff that always stops working when you want to have a relaxing evening.

Next time, you'll be disappointed if he doesn't do it. That's the real middle-aged stuff.

Stolen! Oh, and instantly ^reposted :)

5 hours ago, blast.

It’s my birthday today . And I’m more than 50 I bought some new brake shoes, went to Tesco to buy my tea, washed the car.
Am aslo veery drunbk now and it’s all y a bit odd as the pixies are mazing back when I saw them in 1991 i think hunnnng

1991

You mean Metallica, obvs

They played monsters of rock that year. I still have the tshirt somewhere.

Metallica not the pixies.

I think I read there are people voting now who were conceived to Don't Look Back in Anger. Not that that's a sex song, necessarily.

Berlin Wall has been down longer for than it was up.
Nevermind was released closer to Sgt Pepper than to today.

I saw a couple shagging on a biffa bin the other night, so there are worse things to conceive to, I had visions of the child turning to it's parents one day saying why am I called Skip? I saw Throwing Muses in 1991, one of the best gigs I've ever been to. They came on to the theme tune from The Persuaders. Kids these days... tch... etc...

Wippersnappers :)

A good bath on the way to bed is a luxury not to be sniffed at.

Am listening to rhe skier lp the one with the cog graphic thing on the cover lp Fuckin brill

I have three replies in a row and so am winning so will have some crisps now and come back later

Must get that. Kristen Hersch's autobiography Rat Girl is well worth a read. Great writer.

I get an annoying tickle in my left ear. Evidently some form of human product recall, but only happened in the last couple of years (gee thanks nature) despite attacking said lobe with tweezers, it's not hairy ape related.
