"Are you winning?"

[joggerjayne]

Only old people seem to say this but ...

... if you wish to ask me if I'm making good progress with my given task ...

... will you please stop saying ...

... "Are you winning?"

For goodness sake. Drives me up the wall.

Stupid expression.

[what..the?]

I hate old people saying

"ohhhhhh can't grumble"

it's the answer is everything in the old pensioners life, ask them anything and they say this, even though it is some what a positive answer compared to 'I'm dying' but to me it just suggests they are too old a knackered to come up with anything else to say so they mumble the same rubbish.

I had the same answer everyday for 5 years from one old guy, I should have got it knitted on a tank top for him.

logic

What I meant was ...

If you disagreed with my point about "bitching" then you are being an arse, because I am invariably correct on matters of linguistics.

However, you are also a nice ABer and I like you a lot.

Hence ... "nice arse"

And, as a woman, I don't have a nice arse ... I have a bl**dy fantastic arse (even if I do say so myself)

(well, we all have a strong point, don't we!)

[joggerjayne]

LOL @ what...the?

[logic]

jayne it wasn't that I dissagreed with your point at all, It was just the fact that I saw something to argue about,
And I will argue just for the sake of it, and you ought to know that by now,
As for me being a nice aber, well we all know that,

As for you having a Bludddy fantastic arse, .... prove it

[joggerjayne]

perv !!!!

xxx

[logic]

not arguing with that.

Maybe it`s an area-related phrase. I`ve never heard it where I am and I`ve certainly never used it. Oh, Jogg, I`m also interested in what you consider `old`. What is the cut-off number? I`m dying to know, thanks. Tina

[joggerjayne]

There's no specific age for being "old", but you know it when you start ...

1. Liking beige clothes.

2. Keeping your coat on when you're in the car.

3. Overcooking vegetables.

4. Going for a "drive in the country".

5. Living in Eastbourne

6. or Bournemouth

7. or Hove

8. Saying things like "Are you winning?"

[funnygirl]

Well you live in Hove!!!!

[what..the?]

9. You eat your evening meal earlier and earlier until it becomes lunch and you eat your breakfast before you go to bed!

[christine847]

hi jj
thank god ive not started any of those.........yet!! xx

[B00]

I'm quite worried by Jayne's list of signs of oldness up there ^^

I already do two of em, and a couple more look appealing
:-(

[Catron]

joggerjayne - you claim, whether in jest or in reality I know not which, you are 'invariably correct on matters of linguistics' but bitching CAN apply to a 'random act of irritation' . A quick look at Chambers dictionary would prove this. ROFL.

[joggerjayne]

funnygirl ... I do NOT live in Hove.

[theonlyone]

JJ you live in the City of Brighton and
Hove ..read the heading on the council
tax bill !!

[MsEVP]

Terrific answer, Jogg. Thanks. I can lay claim to NONE of the requisites for being `old` and I shall sleep peacefully tonight knowing that fact. Nite. x
