HonaloochieB Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Never mind your smart aleckry and Londoness, you lot upstairs, this thread stands for something.So get up off that pouffe, Jah Lush and let your elders sit down. And me with a back on me.Jesus, in my day pouffes gave you a bit more support, still can't be helped.There seems to be a consumption on the part of curtain people, that this thread may have become ropey, even started to unravel. If you could see me now, at 11:07 outside my home, greeting people as they get off the bus in the spirit of comradely love, forsaking the rigidity of convention, and just for now the restriction of clothing, I think you'd all be proud. I know I am. I've just checked, and I am proud. Proud as the oncoming sound of sirens. Mind, this damp's not doing my chest any good. And don't the ruddy council sweep up leaves any more.Honestly you could break your neck.

HonaloochieB Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Got up to 'snow' this morning. Snow? Call this bloody snow? It's usless is what it is.The buses were running and I could get to work and everything.Not like in the days when we had proper snow and the country ground to a halt.Weather was weather in those days, not this namby-pamby rubbish that gets served up to us today.Blur were right, modern life is rubbish.

Jah Lush Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Cold? Call this bloody cold! When I were a lad the bedroom were so cold it had icicles on the windows and you could see your own breath. And as for snow, call that bloody snow! I can remember building igloos let alone bloody snowmen in the street. Pah! Flipping youngsters of today, they're all bloody soft.

These ignorant twentysomethings, eh?DukesDenver, do you work on World's Strongest Man? You're Magnus Samuelsson, the older Swede aren't you?Well done on throwing Capesy into the conversation, not of course that you could have thrown him very far even when you were in your prime. Just a little humour from a fellow strongman there, no offence. Damn those youngsters for their impudence.Edited, because you've got to these days, haven't you?

I recon you could use one to> grill a sandwich but it may take a while.Well Mike, since you ask about my 'dry joints'.I don't use the word 'torture' lightly, Mike, but torture is the mot juste, in this case, and my use of French is an indication of the sheer agony I'm experiencing.Knees? Don't talk to me about knees. The pain? I wouldn't wish it on a copper's nark, straight up I wouldn't.And as for my left elbow, my only comfort is that it isn't my right one.Otherwise my only comfort would be lost to me.And as for my neck, as much use as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest. According to my consultant anyway.But thanks for asking Mike, I'd give you a thumbs-up but I'm not sure my shoulders would take it.

HonaloochieB Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'd be better off to the tune of twelve pounds.And that could possibly buy me, maybe a three month introductory subscription to the New Musical Express.Well you never know, do you?

HonaloochieB Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 You'd think they would, wouldn't you? At my time of life. That they'd give a bit of consideration.But they don't. It's just me at home with the first Damned single. And not even the 'A' side.'Help' indeed.

HonaloochieB Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 It used to be all punk rock 'round here. Ask Mick Jones, you know out of The Clash. Ask the lead singer of The Adverts. They'll both let you know. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3721-the-old-fogies-thread/page/8/#findComment-210178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
