   Went crazy this afternoon and bought an actual beer at an actual pub. The barman asked "What can I get you, big fella?" Big? I didn't come here to be insulted. Pauses for comedic response.

      When I was young people would call me "Young fella", and I would be insulted because they couldn't see past my age. Now that I'm a #duffer people call me "Young fella" and I'm insulted because all they see is my age...

         A teenager called me "sir" the other day. The good thing about middle age is that nearly everybody seems more or less the same age as you. However, apparently the effect isn't bidirectional.

            Nothing makes you feel old faster than someone calling you "sir"...
