That Cougar must have been deaf for the past 30 years 🙂
Not only that; Sting's publishers - Virgin (there was no love lost between them and Sting) decided that it was their song, and they'd like some royalties thanks v much.

Bugger off. 😁
That I haven’t heard anything by Sting or Dire Straits for years, and I’m content to keep it that way.
That I’m alright with being 60 next month.
That of I bow my shoelaces like a reef knot instead of a granny knot they don’t come undone.
Watched Total Recall again the other night, first time I've noticed Quato is in the brothel when Arnie walks in with his taxi driver.
Obviously not something you would realise on first watch, as Quato hadn't been in a scene beforehand, to know who he is.
…Samantha Fox is 58, blimey!
Joe Cocker is dead!
Also read something where some mad scientists are claiming water isn’t wet and just has the ability to make other things wet. Not sure if they were trolling and now my tiny mind is questioning everything.

Well that and you can’t actually see him.

So she's exactly 7 months younger than me, quite what I do with that info who knows 😀
The divide sign ÷ is a fraction with dots for the numbers. 10÷2 becomes 10/2.
The dots are just place holders for the numbers.
I'm 54 and only found this out last month.
I was standing in line at my graduation many years ago, waiting to be called forward. My surname starts with 'S', so I had to wait a long time. I therefore began singing the alphabet song in my head, when suddenly it hit me: in English and French, at least, we sing the alphabet song to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and that both were actually just Mozart's 'Ah! vous dirai-je, maman'.
It was a revelation!
I only realised earlier this year that the red LED characters on the cover of Ghost in the Machine represent the three Police bandmates, and that was only after it was pointed out by someone
“I realised that I really do not want to be 50 a month from today.”
Come and join the over 50s - it's great. Theres temporary tattoos and everything
Tattoo stickers for those over 50? Finally you can be a rock star without regrets!
Not today either but a couple of months ago I realised the long pointy bit that sticks out as you move the jaws of a Vernier calliper is the depth gauge.
I had exactly the same revelation last week!

I realised this a few years ago when attempting to add some sort of nursery rhyme variation to proceedings to try and get small baby to stop crying. Less the Mozart of course.
and missed a thread on this previously
I've just realised I missed a deaf Cougar / Def Leppard pun. Standards are slipping.

Baa Baa Black Sheep also. Probably many others.
Every so often my wife says she hates getting old. And I reply it is better than the alternative.
Yeah, I remember being 25 and talking shit with my mates about how it's better to go out in a blaze of glory when you're young than to get old and feeble. I kinda still believe that, but each year I just figure that things are going ok and I might just give it another 12 months before I do the blaze of glory thing.

Being the wrong side of 50, I take great comfort in the wise words of de Selby....
Human existence being an hallucination containing in itself the secondary hallucinations of day and night (the latter an insanitary condition of the atmosphere due to accretions of black air) it ill becomes any man of sense to be concerned at the illusory approach of the supreme hallucination known as death.

No - I'm only one of the first two policemen. Although I suppose it depends on where you start counting
Haven't read him for about 30yrs so forgive the wild inaccuracy, I knew ages ago it rang a bell but was thinking of Cruiskeen Lawn ('full jug', quite apt). I'm told a pint of plain is your only man, shall go and find out shortly
‘Better than the alternative’
Is a spike milligan joke.

"I told you I was ill" was his epitaph as I recall.
I remember being 25 and talking shit
That suddenly reminds me about a night club for over 25s we used to driver past and take the piss out of for all the boring old people in there listening to shit music. Double that age next year.
“Did you ever in your life,' he asked, 'mount a bicycle from the right?'
'I did not.'
'And why?'
'I do not know. I never thought about it.'
I never thought about it but today I realised that, unless constrained by circumstances, as a left-hander I always mount a bicycle from the right, hence a left-legger. Is that normal?
deaf for the past 30 years
40 years surely?
I was walking in Wales, talking puddings with my wife and son, when it hit me that the name Banoffee Pie, merges banana and toffee: the main ingredients of a Banoffee pie!!!

I realised that straight away, but then as I’m 70 in nearly a month’s time, I grew up with that type of technology.
Not that I want to be, due to the various limitations on my mobility it’s bringing with it. 😖
Something else I discovered yesterday, is that among a number of connections between The Beatles Apple Corps, and Apple Computers, the startup tone on Macs is taken from the E maj piano chord at the very end of ‘A Day In The Life’, from ‘Sergeant Pepper…’
Not today, and it's probably common knowledge, but if you ever have a jar of sauce where the lid is held on too tight from the vacume, you can use an old fasioned bottle opener to very gently pry around the edges to release the vacume, then the top comes off with zero effort.
This kind: (you probably have one built into to your tin opener!)
Worst "show me the money" change of musical direction by a band (Dire Straits) EVER!
