Reckon you're an old phart when you decide you know more than anyone younger than you. Long as you're willing to learn something from the youngsters, you're an interesting person with age and character.

I reckon you are an old phart when you have forgotten more than those who work with you know. :rolleyes:

But then again I can't remember much either...... :confused:

You're all wrong. :D

The mathematical calculation for working out the age of old phartdom is to deduct the number for the meaning of life from the current year.

Thus (20)06 - (19)42 = 64 which is this year's age for becoming an old phart.

Means I'll always be one year away from becoming one.:D

When you've known a succession of 3 buildings on the one site.
When your doctor is younger than your sons.
When your get-up-and-go has got up and gone.
When your back goes out more often than you do.
When the things you used in your teens are seen in museums.

Timely question..... I refuse to go gracefully!!!! We're going along to a Little Birdy concert this weekend, and are booked in to go see the Hilltop Hoods, John Butler Trio, You am I etc at the Groovin the Moo concert at the end of the month. (I'm actually forcing the kids to go, so I don't look like some old deviant). I went to the last Groovin the Moo in Narrendera and not only saw Grinspoon, Spiderbait etc also ran into a bunch of my old mates who are all fighting the fight as well. It was excellent (apart from the time the bunch of weakling 15 yo's dropped the 100kg+ fattie onto his #### when he went crowdsurfing over the top of the moshpit :o )

I reckon it's when you drop into the opticians because you need them to repair your glasses (the earpiece came off in me hand, honest!), wearing your very best shed gear: old paint and glue-stained tee shirt and really daggy old shorts plus thick woolly socks and knackered trainers. It helps if you have recently severely sprained your ankle while playing golf and are therefore relying heavily on a walking stick. Oh, and I failed to mention that the broken glasses have necessitated your wearing an old pair of wire-framed jobbies on which the gold plating has come away in large lumps, giving them an interesting mottled effect.

The smart young lady behind the counter will leave you in no doubt as to your status as an ancient flatulator because she will take in your appearance with an all-encompassing glance and proceed to patronise the sheet out of you by speaking slowly and loudly and sprinkling her part of the conversation with little gems like: 'young sir' and 'dear' and 'will you remember that, Colin?'.

However, when you return several days later to collect the repaired gig-lamps, parking your high-powered European sports sedan within sight of the optician's front counter, dressed in your best smart casual kit and looking particularly crisp (think David Niven, foreshortened and minus the lounge-lizard moustache), walking without either a limp or a walking stick - she will fail to patronise you; instead addressing you as 'Mr..." and 'sir' and giving you the impression that you're not an old fart at all.

(But don't let this lull you into a false sense of security. Old fartiness has buggerall to do with appearances. It has to do with your grumpiness quotient and how frequently you find it necessary to comment loudly upon the content of television, newspapers, magazines and other aspects of daily life - including patronising shop assistants).

When you look around and realise that young pharts aren't as smart as they used to be when you were a kid, but that's OK 'cos the auld pharts aren't as stupid, either...

I don't know when I became an 'auld phart' but I do know when I began to aspire to that state - it was the night when Meldrew from 'One Foot In The Grave' became my role model :eek:

From a female perspective OLD PHARTEDNESS IS AS FOLLOWS;) ;)
Bulk buying toilet paper
Loudly speaking about the supermarket customer in front who has 10 items in the 8 or less line.:mad: :mad:
Lamenting what young women are wearing NOT because you couldn't wear it,but because you wouldn't wear it:eek: :eek:
Buying shoes for comfort not style and considering price;)
Realising that your children have more interesting things to talk about than you do!!!
Setting your alarm to the NEWS not the MUSIC stations

You are an old fart when your wife calls you on your mobile car phone to warn you that she just heard on the radio that there is a car traveling the wrong way on the freeway - and your answer?

"Honey, there's not just one - there's hundreds of them!" :D
