In view of my next birthday, I got a letter from the NHS inviting me to get tested for ... bowel cancer!

Think positive my good Pat! It's not like they would have sent you an invitation for the Thorpe Park if you were younger..

I was in hospital last spring and that was my worry when they took the catheter out, fortunately I needn't have worried.

I'd have been more worried when they put it in!

Buying moisturiser
Buying eye gell
Taking 15 supplements every day including testosterone booster
Checking ears and nose daily with tweezers for unwanted hairs
Spending an arm and a leg on clothes even though you already have two wardrobes full with most less tha two years old.
Having a "vintage" leather jacket
Checking your weight every day

Basically trying to hard

Lying about your age or so they say. I wouldn't know I'm only 17.

I was under a local anaesthetic when they put it in, but I was so ill and uncomfortable I didn't care, I just wanted the illness dealt with.

Realising you heard in the 1970s all the riffs Oasis, Ash and so on come up with as new
Appreciating the subletly of comic strips that are supposed to be for kids but are really for adults cf 'Mad' magazine in the 1960s/70s - took me years to get some of the jokes!
Adding your 2 pen'orth to old threads that almost everyone else has forgotten about
Telling the same stories over and over again!
& you keep forgetting things and drop thigs a lot
Assistants in Topshop and American Apparel openly sneer at you (I was after something inexpensive and slinky for the missus but left both shops almost immediately)

when, if you nonchalantly lean against a traffic light, the driver of the first vehicle does not let the lights go through two cycles before he moves off.

1. Forget who people are.
2. Forget what you're supposed to be doing.
3. Can't get out of a chair without a wincing grunt.
4. Can't bend down to tie your shoelaces.
5. Politicians and your GP look 12.
6. After a long bike ride, you can't get off your bike.
7. Your children start helping you.

Olay Revitalising Cream has a lot to do.

Worrying about the price of biscuits
Looking forwards to the new edition of the Radio Times
Gradually becoming right wing (LOL, only joking)
Wearing an extra vest in summer
Walking down the street with your hands clasped behind your back humming some made up tune
Considering buying some cheap trousers from an advert in the back pages of a Sunday newspaper
Suddenly developing a massive crush for Lorraine Kelly

Hey Lorraine has always been hot

When you start browsing zimmer frames and shackleton chairs in stead of cycling gear.............Just goin for a cuppa!

... Meeting Christopher on a forum ride and chatting away to him with a vague feeling that he reminded me of somebody, only to discover later that he had come on another of my forum rides the year before under a different forum name - Frustruck!
