The passage of time is a cunt isn’t it? I remember when I was still in primary school with fuck all responsibilities and easy homework looking forward to eventually becoming an adult. Well, as of date of cunting (21/12) I’m 21 in a few days (Christmas Eve if anyone’s interested – eep!) and wondering where all that time went – certainly doesn’t feel like a fucking decade to me. And I’ve been told both by my parents and work colleagues who are older than myself that its only gonna go even faster as I become older as well – so that’s totally something to dread as I hurtle towards my inevitable demise. Fuck sake.

Except when you’re doing something really boring or have a difficult shift at work, in which case it goes by far too slowly. It’s a catch 22 – you can’t win.

All you need to remember, no matter how time passes, you are a long time dead so best not to dwell on it.
This is not proffessional advice and is only my personal opinion.

When you are 10, a year of your life is a tenth of it as opposed to when you are 50 when it is a fiftieth.
That is why Christmas seems to take ages to arrive when you are a kid.
I’m not sure if LSD suits me.
Goodbye for now.

What a wonderful cunting, OC. 21 eh? Good for you, my friend. ENJOY your 20s. Don’t worry too much about this time lark for now. I’d like to read what others have to say, but for me my 20s seemed to last forever. It was only when I got a 3 as the first number in my age did time seem to speed up. Now I’ve got a 5 and the years seem to fly by.
Obviously time does not actually speed up. There are still 24 hours in a day, irrespective of your age. It’s just your perception of time which is influenced by your responsibilities and commitments. As you get older, you tend to acquire more of those, so your time is punctuated by a series of events which require your attention to varying degrees. Birthdays, anniversaries, work projects, holidays, kids stuff (yuck!), visiting (extended) family, having (extended) family visit you, DIY projects, buying a car, buying a house, moving, friends/family passing away, add a partner to the mix and you often double up on stuff you have to pay attention to. Then add in the the usual stuff like Valentine’s Day, Easter, for the Yanks July 4th and Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, New Year, etc.
So instead of a year seeming like a huge expanse of empty time where December seems such a long way away in January, life becomes a series of events with relatively short gaps between each one. It’s the occurrence of these events which you tend to measure and since there are so many of them, the passing of time seems to speed up as they come around.
As I said, enjoy your 20s. It’s a decade during which life normally has many choices and you have the time, health and physical attributes to take them on. Enjoy it. You’ll be older, crabby, bitter, resentful and pissed off like the rest of us soon enough. Great cunting – Cheers IY.

You can halve the bullshit by not having kids.
You can halve it again by not marrying a naggy demanding cunt, otherwise known as a woman.
Times have changed. I’d rather play russian roulette than do either of those things in this era in this country. See the DM article yesterday about the millionaire who was no longer a dad in an instant:

You sound like you might be a MGTOW ‘red pill’ guy BCC. With slags like her around, not to mention the cancer of extreme feminism, I think more and more guys will be going MGTOW as time goes by; it’s becoming something of a phenomenon.
7
Indeed I am, though I like the label of ‘cynical arsehole’ better because both sexes are conniving full of shit cunts. Equality.
Mgtow will grow, but there will always be more than enough men willing to throw themselves into the grinder.

I’ve given up worrying about the passing of time. I find myself becoming more and more alienated by a world that seems to be “advancing” to a future that I really don’t understand or wish to share.
Anyhow, I’m really not that bothered. An old Romany woman told my fortune when I was a child. Apparently I’m to die at a ripe old age surrounded by my friends and family….the lack of either presumably stands me in good stead for a Methuselah-worthy life-span….that’ll really be something to look forward to.

I swear Time went on a fucking go-slow when I was at school – especially those boring Wednesday afternoon classes of French of fucking physics that I had absolutely no interest in, but I would constant look up at the classroom clock, and scarcely a minute or two had past since I last checked!
Fortunately I am one of those weirdos that only need about 4-5 hours sleep per night, and have done since I was a teenager. So at least I’m awake for most of the day, even if Time does seem to slip through my fingers.
Of course when you’re a really old cunt in their 70s and 80s I would guess Time drags as you sit around dribbling, mumbling and silently pissing yourself. (Much like some of the old cunts on here. Naming no names, ha!)

If there’s one positive it’s that my family is long lived – especially on my mother’s side. My great grandmother died at 90 and my grandad is still alive at 80 even after smoking like a chimney for many years and still drinking frequently.

I used to scoff at the PINK FLOYD lyric from Time “Ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.” by fuck were they ever right, I can rue that cunt four times over now.

Belated best wishes OC, and many more of them.
As a 69 y-o, the one piece of advice I’d offer to my 21-y-o self is ‘for fuck’s sake don’t waste your time and harm your health by worrying about things. Mostly things work out fine, and if they don’t there’s not much you can do anyway’. I also offer that toyou for what it’s worth, from one who wasted too much of his life worrying about the day that never came.

Shortly before Terry Pratchett died he said, you know that thing about the drowning man seeing his life flash before his eyes, it ain’t just him is it, it’s everyone. The Viking sparrow, flying from the darkness into the Great hall, all lit up, one big party, then a second later, back into the darkness. That’s all folks!

Good post OC, I couldn’t agree more. I now find myself at the age of 43 thinking where the fuck did the last 20 years go? Fuck me time flies but as Ron said don’t ever worry about things that haven’t happened & don’t worry about things you have no control over. Whatever life throws at you it’s human instinct, we survive! Fuck me I sound like an old man.CUNT

If I have one piece of advice for OC, it is this: get laid as much as possible. It gets harder to get laid the older you get, so make hay whilst the sun shines.

Hear hear!
I barely jack off once a week nowadays… used to be a three-a-day lad in my late teens.
Mind you, with all this #MeToo bollocks around, not sure I’d dare even look at a bird now, let alone fuck her. Best to get signed consent first OC before you do anything impulsive or rash like… umm… hold her hand.

54 tomorrow and to avoid my piss boiling over I get away from rich crybaby snowflake over regulated societies (Oz in my case) and enjoy the chaotic freedom of third world countries!

Well happy birthday for tomorrow TS.

70 very soon, and it is all passing very quickly. Unlikely to see the Country suffer its death throws, and unlikely to see our first transexual Black libturd Prime Minister.
Death aint so bad after all !

I will be 60 in about three weeks ASA. Cannot say I am much looking forward to it or the future.
Reckon I have had lived in a fairly decent time period, really cannot understand the way the world is now heading.
This country used to be great, however cunt Blair opened the floodgates to mass uncontrolled Eastern European immigration has ruined this once great beautiful country for all eternity.
As the Elton John (or Bernie Taupin) lyrics go “Better off dead”

Every day we feel the effects of Bliar’s policies makes it more and more upsetting that John Smith had that heart attack.

Speaking of primary school
Just read somewhere Wayne Rooney arrested in Washington DC on 23rd Dec for being drunk and disorderly and using foul language with intent Fined 50 dollars and costs 200 dollars Mr Rooney more drink related crime you never learn how did you manage to get a work permit with your criminal record while others who pull the same stunts as you are banned from entering the USA one rule for cunts and another for stupid people who should know better

A mere 48, but blessed with a photographic memory, so many things that happened in the early to mid 70’s are still crystal clear.
It is nothing short of astounding how this country has wanked itself out in the intervening years. Time is racing past for me as I am in a job that doesn’t let me take breath, but at the same time I am learning little new stuff everyday.
Just met up with two ex work colleagues this evening. We parted ways 20 years ago. Time is a cruel mistress.

Time is not a man’s friend m8, I can sympathise cause my life went by quick too with not much to show for in terms of success. I wasted alot of it doing stupid shit drinking, drugs, hermitting letting too many people influence me by the time I was 25 I spent alot of my future days regretting everything in a rage now 31 but balanced. I definitely could of done better In hindsight tho I have been blessed with a loving but dysfunctional family and I don’t have to worry about too much You got to count your blessings and try not to dwell on your shortcomings it will only drive you crazier

Gotta admit I thought you were older Titslapper. Probably because you’ve been on the site for quite a while.

I don’t feel young tho, honestly I feel like old angry bitter man who is just bidding his time, smoking a pipe watching the world burn around me while uttering mad rants. Oh sure I play video games smoke hash and listen to techno everyday but deep down I’m a old grey bearded 82 yr old man just waiting for the sweet release of death… haha just kidding or I am?! Yeah i’ve been onhere for 6 years or so now oh how time flys

OC, you’re twenty fucking ONE. Enjoy it. I was 20 in the loooong hot summer of ’76, and it was wonderful. I’m an old cunt of nearly 63 now; haven’t managed to get a shag in over a year. Bit of a cunt! Luckily, while the urge is still there, it isn’t as demanding as it once was…
Think, in this battered caravanserai,
whose doorways are alternate night and day,
how sultan after sultan, with his pomp,
abode his hour or two and went his way…
So quit whining OC. Enjoy life while you have it! Ok?
BTW, it’s wonderful to know there is genuine youth on this site. All is not lost…

I might be wrong but I think the next youngest regular poster is The Big Chunky Cunty at 32. Jaynino was to the best of my knowledge my age as well but he seems to have completely disappeared.

I should state that I typed this before reading Titslapper’s post which basically confirms that I am indeed wrong.

21? Fuck, I damned well wish I was 21 again. Has anyone got a time machine handy?
As already said, don’t dwell on passing years at your still early age. Enjoy life, Make the most of it, but my biggest bit of old fart, mummy advice would be MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES FOR YOU!!
Obviously, sometimes it is only with hindsight that we see the error of our ways, but the main thing I would say is DO SOMETHING YOU LOVE. I made so many mistakes when I was younger, did jobs I fucking hated because I had no clue what I really wanted to do at that age and then got into a career that I never really should have which ended up costing me a lot in terms of my own health and standard life goals.
It is like the old expression goes, ‘do something you love and you will never work a day in your life’.
Anyway, lectures aside, yep, time does go fucking fast, so make the best of it. You have years and years still ahead and it ain’t all doom and gloom, or at least doesn’t have to be!
But AGEING? YEP, THAT DEFINITELY IS A FUCKING CUNT!! (speaking from experience, fuckarse wrinkles)

Cue sage advice from greybeard elder to callow youth…think it’s all been said. Don’t worry, what’s for ye’ll no’ go by ye, as a Scottish friend was fond of saying. And he might have added, but he was a clean-spoken man, ye canna dae fuck a’ aboot it onywye.
Do what you enjoy – good one. You won’t be rich, probably, but at least you won’t be spending 4 hours a day in a traffic jam getting to and from endless meetings with cunts, which is what you have to do to make money these days.
“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit. Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
(Omar Khayyam. tr Fitzgerald.)
If thirty years hence you find yourself saying, “I wish I’d done…”
Why the fuck didn’t you, you chicken cunt?

PS,
A young lad such as yourself can still make very useful money in addition to getting extremely fit in the construction industry. However, the days can pass very quickly when you’re busy. Definitely preferable to university, though.
