    Oh and another thing they don't tell you.My dad was 30 when I was born, so I really only remember him being 35 and above.

    In 1995 when I was 35 I got up to go to work and went for the usual shower, and shave, as one does. Imagine my disquiet when I looked into the mirror and saw my father at 35 looking back at me. I nearly crapped myself.

    It was about this time that I realised I was going to die, I'd always known on an intellectual level that I'm mortal but this was different. Like scales falling from my eyes.

    Anyroad, old age starts at 90.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    I've seen that since I was 20 (although my brother was the one weirded out by it). My dad didn't really age until 45.

    Being young ends with 33, because Jesus died at that age.

    Being young ends when you become a miserable old git .
    It can be when you are 10 or 100 .

    If you are over 25, you're already dead to me.

    If you are under 25, your opinion is irrelevant.

    Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
    And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
