The middle aged thread

Started looking in the mirror and asking "should I wear denim"

What is it with young people and their shit sock game? Is it a deliberate choice to wear “dad socks” with shit shoes and shit clothes?

Started looking in the mirror and asking "should I wear denim"

Well, if you haven't started yet, it may be too late.

The nice thing about not having any fashion sense or desire to be fashionable is that once every decade you've nailed it.

Are we talking double (or even treble) denim here?

Hipster thread >>>>>>

Denim as in jeans. Have a shirt and feel less concerned about that. No and never double. Have been slowly moving away from blue denim and into browns and black.
Now I think and write about it, seems even worse.
Brown Blue Beige

Are you Ken Bruce?

I literally don't remember a time in my life without denim. Dark blue, black, light blue, grey.

Jeans are winter uniform which means 'all year uniform' in Britain.

he's seven years older. Walks to old persons thread....

I can fell the rage of these people:

You don't have to be middle aged to know that Ryanair are cunts

They may be cunts, but they're ruthlessly efficient. Unlike Norwegian, who think my luggage might be in Oslo. Maybe. Possibly. Can't rule it out, anyway. Along with my friend and travelling companion's bike and my bike box.

You chaps want to try Scoot if you really want some context within which every European airline suddenly seems efficient

If people would stop flying with them..

Top Gear: you’re middle age when it’s pouring rain when you get up and instead being annoyed you think “That’ll be good for the garden”.

I work at an airport and never travel with checked luggage. I mail/fedex stuff to my hotel ahead of time, then send it home.

We were staying in an apartment, so that wouldn't have worked for us. Also, the three of us were travelling with 3 bikes in bike boxes, and having only just managed to send the smaller of the two types of bike box by post in the UK, I'd hate to have to send one internationally.

The good news is that the missing bike and bike box have been found and delivered. The bad news is that my luggage is still presumably having an extended stay in Oslo. Maybe.

Next time pedalos?

Given that Storm Hans hit on the second night we were there, pedalos would have been a more suitable form of transport for some of the trails we did, which were temporarily disguised as rivers.

I bought some reading glasses today. The beginning of the end

You will soon have pairs of reading glasses stashed all over the house/garage etc!

You will soon have pairs of reading glasses stashed all over the house/garage etc because your wife just takes your glasses leaving empty glasses cases and causing much fucking annoyance when you just want to look at something/ read something . Ask me how I know that.

Did you read about it somewhere, by using your phone camera as a magnifying device? This is how I have to read menus in restaurants these days.

Four days of dancing at a music festival last weekend and my knees are still not happy now.

Did find one huge benefit of not drinking or getting high these days, when it came to the camping or glamping options and all the bother of other people partying all night long. I could go “fuck that noise” and had booked into a B&B 15 minutes down the road.
