I've been told many a time that i need to grow up. Mostly by my mum after i tell her i've bought something else for one of my VWs. : Usually i can just shug it off but after my little sister got married last week its got me thinking that maybe she is corrrect (but don't let her hear me say that). I've never had a permanent or long term job. I don't own a house or have a mortgage. I don't own a credit card. I don't have any debts (apart from a student loan). I don't have any life insurance or a private pension and according to the DWP i'm quite a years down on my national insurance contributions so i'll basically need to work till i'm 85 to get a full pension. What about you?
I want to do kite surfing. I've a mate down in Rock who does it, so hopefully he can give me lessons.
I'm really grown up , i have a house mortgage , wife 2 kids pensions insurances , another house , tenants , rabbits ( not really mrsmajorhangover - no rabbits nooo ) letters after my name , a bay resto , fish and cats ,i do lots of grown up things , i negotiate pay at work , witness disciplinarys , help run clubs , am a member of the local golf club and overseea other people's finance's sometimes -- Now go away CBEEBIES is on !.
Can any of us really claim to be grown up ? we spent a fortune and we put our hearts and souls into these "hard to keep running" perpetual rust attracting vehicles in the hope that we can keep recreating memories of a long gone childhood for both us and our offspring ! Since I have owned our bus I have come to a realisation that I never lived until wee had the bus, we have done so many trips as a family and have lots more planned, it started out as "another one of my whims" which my wife and kids have come accustomed too, but we have all grown to love Punkin now, its a part of the family............and if it keeps us all young, then it's served its purpose ;D
i buy teddies, still wear pink lipstick, have pink in my hair, shop in animal surf shop, and i wont be rudely spoken to at work...so i often tell them to f**k their job (in a totally cool and childish mocking tone) and leave hence been not working since i left the ex most of the time....first job kids were sick, i was off unpaid so they sacked me....next job ex didnt have the kids and caused that loss of a job, as i had to be off....next job temp boss starts yelling at me...im his most intelligent member of staff ,as was doing my real bosses list he left me, as the others are too thick to trust, so temp boss thinks im going on the till with 30 mins of my day left to finish what i was doing, which was nicely going to take all the 30 mins, then he gets abusive as ive already arranged cover for the till so i can finish the job for my real boss...so i tell him to shove the job up his arse get my stuff and leave......next job im doing for £5.75 or something an hour i get to be able to run it while reading a book they didnt like this allthough i produce twice as many things as the one who stares blankly into space they decide to change my job to shop floor saying ill do what im told to, not what my job description says.... ...i dont return the next day lol. yep im a big kid too over 40 wear bootleg trousers drive the camper as a daily and drink malibu and coke and tea and often found with dirty nails and pigtails messing with the van! I dont have a job as my design trade is screwed with the recession so all those below my ability jobs im glad to do until some p***k decides they will take advantage of me ...then im off!!! i own a house its interest only so i wont have anything when the mortgage comes to an end to speak of but hey kids will be grown up then and i can always live in a camper!! i play online games on an alienware computer and get drunk killing a monster while talking on the headset to 30 or so americans/aussies...yeahhhhhhhhh growing up....is just a title!!!!!!!!! like Miss,Mrs or Mr!! what use is it if you dont know and love the person behind it!
i own and ride motorbikes, own and fettle a camper, smoke tabs, drink beer and eat lard. I'm 45. Who said you had to be a boring grey old fart as you got older? my fave show is futurama. I still listen to and buy a lot of indie, techno etc. Still have a 30" waist. I'm still 10.5st. Have all my own hair. Have a number of tatts and will enjoy the odd doobie. Going to see the Vaccines and the Arctics soon. I am a consultant mechanical engineer during the daytime, have a mortgage and a cat. I'm also married. No bleeding kids though, little sponging ponces. I also built my own telescope. A 10" newtonian. LIVERPOOL FC supporter, even though i'm a sweaty sock. I do not consider myself a grown up. I'm still a kid.
That's something else for my "Bucket list" then ;D I'm gonna try landbraording next, a friend does it and told me he gets upto speeds of 65-70 MPH Thats gotta be a ral buzz being so close to the ground
