When you notice you're no longer checking out the hot son on a tv programme or film but the hot dad instead

What other landmarks have you reached?

Taste in Radio.. Radio 2,.Absolute 80's, 90's and even 00's rock.....Radio 1 sounds like a foreign land, why can't they bring Steve Wright back to Radio 1 ...I used to love the daily romantic story!....remember that?

TMI alert;

I was having my smear and the nurse said I was a bit dry, but that was normal for a woman of my age Confused

Tinkobell · 18/04/2018 11:05

@Thebluedog.....that is unbelievable and very unsubtle of the nurse. Dryness can mean anything ...time in your cycle or you might have just showered and dried off. I'd be really put out at that remark.

Thebludog, wtf?!

You could have replied:" sorry, I guess you are just not doing it for me lady" Wink

I've had a smear when the nurse asked 'were they big babies ' ?

Had two children by then.

Didn't have a test for about another five years after that.

I have two. When I was watching Arctic Monkeys playing on TV, probably 10 years ago now, and I didn't think "phwoar Alex Turner" I thought "I'd be very proud if Alex Turner was my son".

When I went for a coil refit a couple of years ago and the nurse offered me a 5 year one, or a 10 year one which would take me up to the menopause Shock. I had not ever even contemplated the menopause at that point!

Jeez, no.i don't mind R1 but I don't want any serious DJ in' ( without g) happening there.
There's got to be some wasteland for annoying Djs

Not RTFT and presume others will have mentioned this but I see policemen on patrol and they look like policeboys. (Not often police women but that's another thread).

Footballers too, for that matter. Mere children.

When I'm sure someone has moved the floor further way when i bend to pick something up.
When i say to my 11 y.o child "i love that man in a motherly way" Blush
I feel ancient next to my colleague.
My previous colleagues asked if i was in meno as i was always hot whilst they wore cardis. They were older than me!
