When your playing catch with your son and you realise you haven't played 'ball' for like 23 years ... which is almost the same age as your gf... you have a sort of 2001 time tunnel moment at the passing of time.

I've just pulled out an errant beard hair that is ginger for only the top half, then a small gradient to white.
This after a friend stopped dead in his tracks mid-conversation and exclaimed unsympathetically (he is somewhat on the spectrum) "Christ, you have the largest grey hair in your beard!".

Yesterday I wrote, then didn't post here, that I'd been horrified to find a centimetre-long hair growing out of my ear. Not inner ear, my actual fucking ear, half-way up.
- I get the random side-of-ear-hair too. I usually moan at my wife for not telling me its there. Sometimes it ends up being 2-3 cm long fine hair!microkorg
- Good point — I'll have to give 'er indoors a sound thrashing tonight!detritus

When you listen to the top hits of 2017 and hate everything about where music is going
- That's your mistake right there. listening to top hits.pango
- sure wasSunSunSun_
- To be fair - modern music is fucking dribble and has very little artisti/ mental meritmugwart
- applies to all top hits backwards and forwards in time (few exceptions)drgs
- Music just gets better and better.
Except pop. That was always shit, and always will be.detritus - ^ true dad but its getting harder to survive as an artists... as its always beenmugwart
- You're getting old if you look at top hits and judge all music that way.CyBrainX

Jesus fucking Christ. I guess music stopped being worthwhile in the 17th century.face_melter

I played a multiplayer game of the latest Call of Duty with my son and his friends.
I didn't one kill.
They felt sorry for me and we had another game. They decided that they would all use sniper rifles and no scopes.
I got one kill.
