Lighthouse Posted 2 October, 2019 Share Posted 2 October, 2019 Not wanting Saints to sign a player because they’re too old, then realising they’re younger than me. A girl I went to school with’s daughter has just started year 7 at same school. The fact that I could legally **** a woman who wasn’t born on 9/11.

John Boy Saint Posted 1 November, 2019 Share Posted 1 November, 2019 Aside from Coppers looking about 12 and that my Driving Licence expires in under 20 years! (actually that driving licence thing is pretty sobering) Getting an injury of some sort and the discomfort rumbling on for months, when previously after a week you had forgotten that you had done yourself a mischief. The Apprentice stunned me the other night, it was my favourite challenge week - the treasure hunt. One of the items they had to procure was "a copy of Alice in Wonderland printed before the Second World War" all these so called bright sausages sat around looking pretty blankly at each other trying to work out what year WWII started!!!

My (late) stepdad was 17 years older than my mum, which I thought was pretty much at the extreme edge of age gaps. My wife is 9 years my junior, and I often have to remind myself of that when I say thing like "Do you remember that kids program from the early 80s?" and then realise that she wasn't even born until 1984.

norwaysaint Posted 1 November, 2019 Share Posted 1 November, 2019 It's not that unusual. I'm 48, about to turn 49 and have had girlfriends of 23, 24, 27 and 38 the last few years. Now I've settled with a girl of 32, which works very well. But yes, you do find a lot of their frames of reference a mystery. I just find that in most social settings, I realise I'm the oldest person in the room, even when I was sure someone else was at least five years older.
