Well, you only have to stop if:
1. You feel like it
2. Not in a hurry
3. A Police car is behind you.
4. You're way is blocked by a Kenworth (or Unimog)
5. Mobile phone isn't ringing
Slow down, proceed with caution means: speed up and lane jump, especially if it's raining
heavily and there's a lot of traffic.

Hi grumpy, and you are right, 51 is not old, I mean you probably still have your marbles (I still have some of mine from school - the dropsies I pinched). I think the grumpiness develops from a lack of a certain hormone, I wonder if oysters would help?.
You may be right about lowered standards but that should not pass unchallenged. I got myself unpopular with a supermarket recently when there were big queues at the checkouts and lots of empty counters (mid-morning) and I called out very loudy "Can we have some bloody service down here !). followed by the PA "Katrina and ......... please open your counters"
All it would have taken was 20-30 people to leave their full trolleys and walk out - a lesson management wouldn't forget in a hurry - but that's not going to happen because people are becoming conditioned to either waiting or poor service.
I digress.

51 looks old from my side of 50, but I don't have long to wait!

Pete, my only advice - keep having sex for as long as you can - cutoff point is fast approaching ...

LOL....I went and had the test for grumpy old mans syndrome...Lack of a certain hormone. Works out I dont have an excuse am just naturally grumpy. Ah well some of us are and some of us aint....grin...Mind you I think it was one or all of the five daughters and wife that thought I should have the test. I did point out they were all still alive and had reached maturity Doesnt that count for anything ?

Mate, 5 daughters - geez I have no right to be grumpy! Mind you both my boys 25 & 28 are still at home and I had expected them to leave by now but I suppose that is just another symptom of my grumpyness.

Kind regards

We have told our 4 that they have to be gone by the time they are 25.

No. 1. Son is now 23 and is showing no sign of leaving so he will find how much we were joking about this in 18 months!

I am a little worried though, our neighbours children adr still at home and they are 45 and 41.

Pete

Thanks Pete, now I am not only grumpy but depressed as well but then again if my kids are still at home in 20 years they'll have to deal with my dribble. Trust me that 25 yr rule won't work - tried that one. Sure they go and mine did but they come back!

Kind regards

Geez, you buggers reminded me of my cousin. He's 48 and still lives at home.
About 6 months ago my aunty sold him the house and moved into a 1 bedroom unit!!

Cheeeez Beatit...I was 51 in 1994 when we did the Canning for the first time......lol

Must say it is good to be alive and still doing silly things.....hahahaha

After this thread I am now not sure if my best years are ahead of me but I am an optimist so I wake each morning with that belief. I am, amongst my other failings also somewhat stubborn (the bride will also confirm this) so selling the house to run away from the kids isn't in my nature. And sure as hell I don't want them living with me when I retire (looking a lot like July 2011 at this stage) so I am being conditioned for some drastic action.

Amongst the ideas thrown my way by well meaning individuals has been that I should consider doing some of my domestic duty in the raw. This they say will have the best effect if I do this when they have their girlfriends around and completely relaxed - the element of surprise is important. The thought revolts me to the point that I might want to move out myself, so they say it will have the same effect on the kids. Has anyone tried this sort of loopy strategy to get rid of the neck biters.

Kind regards

PS Willem, the CSR is still on the "to do" list. After the Simpson last year I'm not sure that the bride will be enthusiastic - the flies there and your account of similar numbers on the CSR will weigh heavily on the decision.

At the beach eh? probably supping on a nice beer with lunch, bucket is full of fresh tailor,
relaxing music coming from the van, blue skies warm day, going out for a ski or a fish with the boat later. HEY WHAT ABOUT US STUCK_AT_ HOME_PEEPLE ?.

Hi Mrs S. Yeah I know how you feel. I wonder if the school would approve two new signs I have in mind:
STOP
YES THAT MEANS YOU ASSHOLE !

STOP RIGHT NOW
OUR SNIPER IS WATCHING YOU !

You probably are well aware of the Musgrave Ave school incident here in the Southport area of SE Q'ld, plus others. It's hard to believe that so many drivers are so unaware of their surroundings. Mobile phones are what I hate - if anyone is driving and has one stuck to their ear, and they hear the horn go off behind them, and stay on, it will probably be me.

I actually work for the council, but those signs sound good to me ...lol

No I am not aware of the Musgrave Ave incident, probably too far south for 'northen' news to reach. What happened ?

Did heard that one supervisor was killed while working, not sure if it was NSW or Vic though.

Mrs S

Earlier in the year, a lollypop volunteer got clobbered on the Musgrave Ave school crossing by a crazy speeding driver, thrown many meters through the air and ended up critical in A & E in the Gold Coast Hospital for several weeks. Survived but damaged. Driver got a relative slap on the wrist as expected. My kind of sentencing would have involved the wrist and a place the sun never shines.
T.R.

Not just school crossing supervisers have a bad day from totaly richard cranium drivers , 6 yes 6 traffic controllers ,just your average stop /go worker at roadworks have been killed in Australia since 13th Aug 2005.

Ther are probably more traffic controllers than crossing supervisors but I do get your point.

People think I do it for free, not likely.
I live in the country, would I do my job in the city ..no way no even for the $8 an hour extra and tidy little Xmas bonus I heard one lady gets.

Mrs S

Almost, almost, just need to adjust the crosshairs on the truck to accommodate the badge
on the back of the Kompressor.
