In a word…NO! I’ve got this one to get through uni’ and that’s me done…apart from the second daughter’s wedding 2012…and now the eldest daughter’s told us we’re going to be grandparents this year…so I really can’t / won’t take any more kids on thanks…or is that me just being grumpy?
I have told him his responsibility where waving is concerned…mind you, he’s so vain he’ll think it’s just him that invites the recognition!
I have just read your advertisment for the Old Gits Club and I would like to be considered for membership. I would enclose a copy of my CV but I cant remember where I put it…
Anyway, I am 55, my hair is grey, (the other one was light brown but it fell out some time ago). I wear spectacles, am (slightly) overweight, suffer from gout, have knocking knees and can moan for England. In fact I have been known to moan for Wales, Scotland and Ireland too. I have developed a taste for Horlicks these last few years but hey, having a vice is what keeps you young.
I was just thinking the same thing. Decrepit he may be, but doesn't seem too unhappy with his lot so I'm not too sure he's really quite the right type...
I was going to suggest a few guide lines for aspiring old gits, maybe a pocket book or training manual, then I realised–Every old git I’ve met became so through years of practice, abusing people, lacking patience. Infact I’m fed up with this tripe.
Congratulations Marpar - now you’re a PROPER Old Git. Up until that revelation, you were a bit half-hearted about the whole thing really but now you can truly get in touch with your inner gittish self.
I think Zimmer can only be truly worshipped when we see photographic evidence of his depravity (and the glass that he keeps his teeth in…)
You started out on the wrong foot slightly there (Dear Mr Flea whats all that about) Oyee or just Flea would have been ok + sounds more grumpy. Looks like your slowly winning over the more moany lot in our group …However you do have a 5 so thats a good start. If you bother to post a further message without being so polite. We may let you join

(Removes grumpy Gor blimey 'ead again, puts back in box)
Hey Flea, with his grumpy Gor Blimey ‘ead on ol’ Zimmer ought to be promoted to full member status immediately - surely (or should that be surly?) he doesn’t need a probationary period with a grumpy moan like that. Bloomin’ excellent!
Can I join please, am well into the category, I remember shillings and pence and threepenny bits, Coronation (Liz) and my first car was an A30. My mk1 5 is not a even a third of my age!
