When you get old. :(

I gave up telling people about my life years ago, I sounded like a Walter Mitty character to most so I keep quiet and smile.

Plus ^^^ "If I told you, I'd have to kill you"......

I recently bought a ‘motorcycle snow foam kit’ with two pressure sprayers and two types of foam. £56

Used it twice now, on my well soiled bike. It’s absolutely useless. You have to pump the pressure up every few seconds, to get any sort of a ‘fan’ spray of snow foam, and then you watch as it literally runs off the dirty bits.

Ten mins soaking, blast it with the hose, and the bulk of the loose muck washes off, much like it would have done without any ‘snow foam’ on.
There’s still the trace of mud and muck left. So out with the second shampoo, finishing soap. That does even less than the snow foam did.

Utter garbage. I now have two pump spray bottles and a couple of bottles of shampoo stuff, but I’ll go back to my usual bucket and sponge cleaning, and use the shampoo stuff that way.

Always the same with spur of the moment purchases.

I’m back to my old faithful, fairy liquid and a rag, and warm water.

People say “oh, but there is salt in fairy liquid”. Maybe, but I’m washing it off, not soaking it overnight.

When you get old , if you are like me, you will appreciate the value of time I suspect. When illness and hospital ops get more frequent I think it tends to concentrate the mind. When things get tricky and various friends step forward to help unasked it just shows how wonderful folk can be. Friendship is a great thing. Guess what? You cannot buy it!!

And it never has a price tag.

Time for oneself is definitely becoming more a consideration nowadays than it used to be.

Yeah, leaving it in place is bad.
Biggest mistake I made was using FL to ease tyres on. One particular rim never really sealed right after that.
I started using household soap and did that for years with no problems, but eventually bought a tub of pukka tyre lube.

When you get old - nobody listens to you - because you are regarded as knowing nothing.

Therefore I am definitely from Barcelona.

Sorry, what were you saying ?

Don't know if this is an age thing, but I seem to be losing a bit confidence in farting.

Let it ease out, don't force it.

Worried about following through?

Worried about which kind it is...consult with George Carlin.

Wet or dry is not enough choices.

What I really hate is one of these 20 year old dental "hygienists" telling me how to clean by teeth. Why are these people always young women?

I was advised by an older gentleman…….3 important points on old age.

Never trust a fart
Never waste an erection
Never pass a toilet with out using it

Not sure of the BSA part number on mine , as it's worn off. ...
