As requested (Steve) the Cyprus judges hereby submit BM's card  whistle:


1) Losing touch with everyday technology such as tablets and TVs - not guilty, have to say he is 'techno man'
2) Finding you have no idea what ‘young people’ are talking about - unless they are young female totty, of course
3) Feeling stiff - it's his kness, connected to his shins, that give him the worst problem
4) Needing an afternoon nap - lots of them
5) Groaning when you bend down - Yep
6) Not remembering the name of any modern bands - again unless they are young female totty
7) Talking a lot about your joints/ailments - amend to COMPLAIN then a yep
8 ) Hating noisy pubs - can't stand Dave live on keyboards, guess that counts!
9) Getting more hairy -– ears, eyebrows, nose, face - LL sorts these out for him on the monthly buzz cut
10) Thinking policemen/teachers/doctors look really young - Yep
11) Preferring a night in with a board game than a night on the town - Twister perhaps with the aforementioned young female totty, in his dreams of course  whistle:
12) You don’t know any songs in the top ten - Back to the YFHT
13) Choosing clothes and shoes for comfort rather than style - trusses have always been in fashion, haven't they?
14) Taking a flask of tea on a day out - no need Miss A brings along her big jugs  whistle:
15) Obsessive gardening or bird feeding - only when LL shouts
16) Thinking there is nothing wrong with wearing an anorak -  ;D
17) Forgetting people’s names - at the start and at the end of most meetings
18) Booking on to a cruise - not yet
19) Misplacing your glasses/bag/car keys etc - and then stepping on said lost glasses at the point he finds them  whistle:
20) Complaining about the rubbish on television these days - yep, why do you think he has the pub  whistle:
21) Gasping for a cup of tea - last blood test results just said 'Tetleys'
22) Getting bed socks for Christmas and being very grateful - only if the YFHT had knitted them
23) Taking a keen interest in The Antiques Road Show - now this is probably never going to happen
24) When you start complaining about more things -  Shocked:
25) Listening to the Archers - used to
26) You move from radio one to radio two - Yep
27) Joining the National Trust - was a member before we came here
28) Being told off for politically incorrect opinions -  Shocked:
29) Flogging the family car for something sportier - did it and then changed back
30) When you can’t lose six pounds in two days anymore -  whistle:
31) You get shocked by how racy music videos are -  Shocked: Shocked: Shocked:
32) Taking a keen interest in the garden - See answer 15
33) Buying travel sweets for the car - Nope but LL does  redface:
34) Considering going on a ‘no children’ cruise for a holiday - always
35) When you know your alcohol limit - not going to happen in my lifetime
36) Obsessively recycling/ knowing the collection dates - yep if beer cans count
37) Always carrying a handy pack of tissues - has an ironed clean linen hanky every day
38) Falling asleep after one glass of wine - not going to happen in my life time unless I grind up my Zanex
39) Spending more money on face creams/anti-aging products - uses mine  Shocked:
40) Preferring a Sunday walk to a lie in - dependent on the location of the aforesaid YFHT


So overall BM scores somewhere around 30/40 - he's gubbed  happy001 happy001 happy001

But am I right or am I right  Thumbs:

She's right - go on, admit it, you know you want to . . .
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

Just a thought LL but I'm sure that you can think of more than that list of 40. Dancing like a 6th form geography teacher can be added for a start.  whistle:
