How to tell when you are an Old Bugger

[figjam]

The true sign of old age is the passion you hate the young with.
You stand there shaking your head going: "I'm sure I wasn't that much of
a dickhead at that age"

But you were.

Going to Sun City Rally in Gisborne this weekend. Booked a Motel next to main gate at Rally! God I'm getting old. Be cool tho eh?

Any one got any more examples as I suspect there are a few more Old Buggers here.

Have started hearing myself say.....When I was young! SAD

A. If you've ever taken a course at the University in which you were given your choice of using a calculator or a sliderule.

B. When the University Bookstore cashier takes one look at you and automatically gives you the faculty discount.

Calculators ? What they ? Sliderule? You mean Napier's Bones ?

Actually, the true test of old buggery is when your sotto voce expression of disapproval changes from "silly old fool" to "bloody young idiot". Oddly enough, I find that most of the old fools around are actually younger than I . And one of them called me a bloody young idiot the other day.

I've still got my Staedtler slide rule from varsity days - how sad is that????

Two years ago at 55, I qualified for an "age" discount at our local cinema which I didn't mind a bit but I was bloody hurt when the tickets were handed over and they said "pensioner" on them!!!!

Safe riding over the weekend guys...

You know you are an Old Bugger when some young spark (like Dangerous) posts a 20 year old photo of a Brass Monkey Rally and you don't even recognise yourself in it until you compare it with your own photos later.

Umm, it's when you go to the concerts of the big acts from your youth ... and find a large part of the crowd has grey hair. eg most recently... Meatloaf, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond and Cher (although at the Cher concert there was much more of an effort made by the oldies to look younger.) He he ... my wife and I amused ourselves before the Cher concert by playing 'spot the gay guys'. Soooo many and so easy to pick!
First noticed the grey hair thing when I went for a leak during the Meatloaf concert. 12 guys in front of me and all had grey hair or were balding. (Had to stifle a laugh as I thought it wasn't good to laugh surrounded by men with their dicks in their hands.)

Well at least you'd have had a head start if you needed to do a runner

When it dawns on you that all the crap your Dad used to spout was actually right ,and when you try to tell a teenger the same stuff to save them from all the hassles you`ve caused yourself in life and they look at you the same way you looked at the old fella.

So therefore I am old at 24 then?

Ther's no old people, some are just younger than others. But if there are old bikers they are the ones who can tell you what a sprung hub is. And it's not some biker chick talking about her ol' man still on the lam.

When you start quoting Ballad's that I have never heard :-)

"When a man grows old and his balls go cold,
and the tip of his knob turns blue.
When it sags in the middle like a one-string fiddle
They can tell you a tale or two.
So buy me a drink and get me a seat
and a tale to you I'll tell.
Of Dead-Eye Dick and Mexican Pete,
and a harlot named Eskimo Nell"


There's about 50 more verses I can't remember. Should be on the 'net somewhere. And yeah, I'm old.

Haven't seen the old man in 15 or 20 years, the only advice I ever got from him was "If you're going to live off the fuits of love, don't throw the skins out the window."

And oh yeah... It used to be all fields round here.

Yep. Owned one. Underrated I always thought.
