Watching Hootenanny tonight. Bob Geldof, Roger Taylor and Kathy Sledge all looked so old and Jools was bumbling about like a fat uncle at a wedding. Surely that's not my generation.

I know that feeling... I was watching a new Clint Eastwood film 'Juror 2' starring Nicholas Hoult last weekend. I knew Hoult from 'About A Boy' and he was always just that little boy in my head - I had seen him in the X-Men franchise so I sort of knew he had grown up. Then after watching Juror 2, I looked him up and was surprised to find he was only 2 years younger than myself. The little boy is now 35 years old, which is a bit of a shocking fact to me.... So I'm approaching 40 now. Scary...

You should watch The Great, he is brilliant in it!

Thanks. I'll check it out. Didn't know he was in it.

I noticed - even before the announcement - that Gilson Lavis the drummer was missing - it had me scrambling to google his name and was much relieved to find he had simply retired - phew.
Jools and Gilson must've worked together for 40 years or so. I recall one interview where Gilson was asked about Jools. He simply replied, "I've seen the best of him, I've seen the worst of him ... there are no surprises". It is a quote I've shamelessly nicked and used on several occasions.

Same here Raith , and when I googled him it said he had cancer !!! I thought Noooo . I started looking up everything , and found absolutely nothing to support . Hope he enjoys his retirement . I find Google reasonably accurate , but seeing that , made me think why do they not check their headlines.
When it's your 70th birthday this weekend and you realise it's been 60 years since you heard those life-changing words from your parents....."Get your coat on we're going to the football"!!!
You’re the last person to know what having an upside down pineapple in your trolley is all about and you hear about it on radio 4 as though it’s something normal.
You're definitely not the last person. When I googled it I also found this.
An upside-down pineapple: You're a swinger looking for a couple. Putting a peach in someone's trolley: You're basically flirting. Lettuce: You're looking for a one night stand. Lentils: You want something long-term.
Beware all ye who enter the fruit and veg aisle
There is a house up Brockley Rise, probably early 1900's, with four upside down pineapple statues on the front wall, I always have a snigger as I walk past

I used to live on Brockley Rise. I vaguely remember pineapples. But not outside my house.
I'd been on nodding terms with a smart young woman for some time.
The other day she beamed a smile at me, approached and then did the dreaded head tilt (45 degrees) and said, " Have you been keeping warm enough indoors?"
Blimey, you must be old Bob. I've not had that yet (though I have reached the point where I no longer feel guilty about not giving up my seat for someone else).

I'm getting it sometimes now. What intrigues me is what happens over the course of let's say say one week where no one holds the door or offers a seat, to where most do. I mean did I age a few years over the course of a week?

Edit - just read subsequent comments that agree.
Indeed so, 50 years since my dad died and I've missed him everyday since.
