    It's just dreadful. I find myself sometimes thinking of all the "old" people when I started work and what a waste of space I thought they were.

    I'm now their age

    Increasingly sitting in work meetings and realising I'm one of the oldest people in the room, which is a bit depressing but somewhat inevitable.

    Made the mistake the other day of trying to suggest to a colleague (who turns 30 in a couple of weeks) that the 90s were great fun to grow up in. She just laughed at me.

    I've become my dad without even realising it.

    Fun was dead by the 90s

    Was it fuck. It peaked.

    Thank fuck we didn't have camera phones and social media, though.

    Talkback v1.0 aside, in the latter part which was more of a 'clique-bait shower of cunts' media, obviously.

    @BrettWilliams you're only just in your 40s? Try being 57 next May..

    I used to look at old blokes commuting in and think they should be retired. Imagine they were likely younger than me now.

    Sadly not. Clinging on to 'mid-40s', but only just.

    Lmao it kinda did, it was so brilliant that any kind of Toronto party event is going to feel like a pale imitation for a while. So I'm going full healthy living for a bit until the Croatia memories have faded enough.

    Never mind the 90s, imagine what it's like when the decade you reminisce about is the 70s.

    Turned 60 yesterday. Quite a normal day with some nice bits.

    Perfectly fine.

    Congratulations. I'm always impressed when any of my friends make it to milestone birthdays, we've spent an awful lot of time trying to find ways not to.

    I finally said a reluctant fairwell to my old Samsung S10+ yesterday after many (6?, 7?) years of faithful service and replaced it with a shiny refurbed S24 Ultra. It's silver and has a pen thing which I almost certainly will never use.

    I realise I was obliged to run this past the concensus of the made up interspaz webmongs first, but I neglected to do so. Soz.

    Anyway its all set up and I even managed to log on to Talkback seamlessly and without incident during that whole convoluted authenticunt process that Tricky put in place to keep the Russians and the wrong uns out.

    Anyway happy belated, chief mong. Let me know when all my data arrives at your nefarious harvesting facility.

    In further not at work this week news, Ive just bought a new and current Forest away shirt for the first time since the blue pinnacle offering in 97.

    Because it's sponsorless I think it looks quite nice with the trefoil.

    As a general rule, I do not wear football shirts unless for sport and / or running / walking. I do not play any sport these days or do much running, and yet here we are.

    I also decided to size up because fat knacker.
