There are dozens and dozens of signs I can think of.


1.) You make the 'old bloke' groan when getting out of an easy chair.

2.) More hair growing from your ears than on the top of your head.

3.) Eeer, now what did I come in here for, ooh it's on the tip of my tongue,honestly

I'd forget me own head if it wasn't screwed on....oh it's so bloody annoying....

I remember as a kid sitting in about 2 inches of luke warm water and picking the ice off the inside of the window panes until I turned blue, cos we lived in a massive draughty old house which still had coal fires, and my mum was too broke to light more than one fire!

Goodness yes - those Sunday night baths at the 'wrong' end of the house with maybe (if you were lucky) one of those little one bar fires on the wall (a later addition). Hair washed in the bath at the same time and rinsed off with a mug!


Eeee - these youngsters don't know they're born!

... when you go down the stairs into that little antique shop beneath some cafe on Lordship Lane, the shop that has ancient greetings cards and tins and old Oxo tins and placemats and godknows what like biscuit tins and old cruet sets and tea sets and you suddenly see something that you have had no reason to see or think about since you last saw it thirty odd years ago or more.... and it's in front of you and you realise you are old enough to have had parents who bought that tea-set / plastic place mat / glass ware design / when you were little.

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
