Coming Of Bowling Age
Having
always been considered an ‘old mans game’, more and more young
men & women are taking up the sport. Below is a list of criteria
to help youngsters decide if they are old enough to take up the
game.
You leave clubs before the end to "beat the
rush".
You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going
clubbing.
You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer and
start dreaming of having a son who might instead.
Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the
property section.
You prefer Later with Jools Holland to Top of the Pops.
All of a sudden, Tony Blair is not 46, he's only 46.
Before going out anywhere, you ask what the parking is like.
Rather than throw a tattered pair of trainers out, you keep them
because they'll be all right for the garden.
You buy your first ever T-shirt without anything written on it.
Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out
of the newspaper, you suddenly see both the benefit and money
saving properties of a plastic winter cover for your garden
bench.
Pop music all starts to sound rubbish.
You become powerless to resist the lure of self-assembly
furniture..
While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon C4's
Time Team with Tony Robinson. You get drawn in.
The benefits of a pension scheme become clear.
You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from B&Q.
You wish you had or already have a shed.
You actually find yourself saying "They don't make 'em like that
anymore" and "I remember when there were only 3 TV channels" and
"Of course, in my day...."
Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 - and Jimmy Young
has some really interesting guests on.
Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the
bus, you tut at schoolchildren whose diction is poor.
When sitting outside a pub you become envious of their hanging
baskets.
You make an effort to be in and out of the curry house by 11
You find yourself saying "is it cold in here or is it just me?" |
