Me too. Not quite as bad as his "Spitting Image" yet though. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138481&v=e car4play138471 Tue, 03 May 2011 23:42:28 +0100 Give over. We all know you're balding naturally. ;>) http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138471&v=e car4play138458 Tue, 03 May 2011 23:14:44 +0100 Ahh, theres always one that survives then one day the light just catches it right and there's this 1" hair stuck out off your ear lobe. "Thats why people have been looking at he side of my face for the last week or so." http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138458&v=e car4play138328 Tue, 03 May 2011 18:52:44 +0100 I had a "close shave" in the shaver recently. Ageing has made the eyes not so good at close up focusing and I picked up a bottle that I presumed was shampoo. Squirted some of it on my hand and something didn't feel right so didn't use it. Daughter had left her hair removing cream in the shower. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138328&v=e car4play138322 Tue, 03 May 2011 18:41:36 +0100 You all paint a really graceful picture of ageing... Erm, not! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138322&v=e car4play138313 Tue, 03 May 2011 18:14:34 +0100 You've managed to drift to unwanted bodily hair. Hmmm... Well, a little bit of good news (if you're me) the local VW garage is £43 cheaper to service the Octy than the not so local Skoda garage. And I pluck the ear hair with a little pair of tweezers as soon as I can feel it sprouting. Can't abide the sight of it... http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138313&v=e car4play138312 Tue, 03 May 2011 18:14:25 +0100 Ah! That'll be Archishop Williams then! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138312&v=e car4play138311 Tue, 03 May 2011 18:12:23 +0100 ... and your... oh never mind. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138311&v=e car4play138310 Tue, 03 May 2011 18:09:53 +0100 Wasn't it Victor Borge who observed that as you get older, the hair on your head grows back into your scalp and out through your ears and nose? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138310&v=e car4play138298 Tue, 03 May 2011 17:40:46 +0100 >> suddenly sprouting from your eyebrows And in thick clumps from your ears and nostrils... and the ones that... no, better not go there. Don't want to get BBD in any more of a lather than usual... http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138298&v=e car4play138294 Tue, 03 May 2011 17:30:39 +0100 Its the mutant ones, grey, as thick as the QE2 mooring rope, suddenly sprouting from your eyebrows that get me. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138294&v=e car4play138287 Tue, 03 May 2011 17:12:53 +0100 I've been reading 'Grumpy Old Men - the Secret Diary' that I picked up in the UK a few weeks ago. Convinces me more than ever of what I am. I've even considered changing my screen name but I guess thousands of others have done the same. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138287&v=e car4play138281 Tue, 03 May 2011 17:04:41 +0100 >>and the discovery of my first grey hair yesterday. Pah! Wait until you discover the first one 'lower down'. You'll also find they then have no restriction on their length, like the ones that'll come out of your nostrils, your ears................. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138281&v=e car4play138271 Tue, 03 May 2011 16:31:53 +0100 They are serving whoever it is who gets to bank the profits, first and foremost. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138271&v=e car4play138270 Tue, 03 May 2011 16:18:29 +0100 I am very definitely turning a grumpy old man which, at the age of 37, is a little worrying. It's not been helped by my back giving me terrible gyp over the past week or so, and the discovery of my first grey hair yesterday. I have to agree with the OPs point, though. Even though what Alanovic says makes a lot of sense, it still leaves me wondering who is really serving who in the so-called 'service industry'... http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138270&v=e car4play138264 Tue, 03 May 2011 15:49:50 +0100 ...It drives me nuts when people can't do what they promised!... You must be in a permanent state of mental derangement, given what you do for a living. Most of us are only lied to once or twice a week, not 20 times a day. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138264&v=e car4play138262 Tue, 03 May 2011 15:48:55 +0100 They need you on the phone so they can say "which day can we book you in for" when they give you the price. If they leave the price on the answerphone and you don't like it, there's a bigger risk they'll lose the business. Sales tactic. At least they're switched on. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138262&v=e car4play138260 Tue, 03 May 2011 15:39:38 +0100 I called two garages today for a service price. Both took full details and promised to phone me back. They both did that, but with the message to please call them back. Call me fussy, but that's another 2 phone calls I've got to make, going through the various options and then trying to get hold of the same person, just to be told the price that they could have well left on my phone! It drives me nuts when people can't do what they promised! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=138260&v=e
