Even my kids call me Gerry these days Sprout.  That's my Mum's name and we're always taking the pee out of her for her terrible memory and general dizziness.  And I have most of her health problems so I am slowly but surely morphing into my Mum 

Getting people to tell me their life stories. I swear I must have a tattoo on my forehead that everyone but me can see, saying: spill it all here! It seems to be especially in neon on planes and any social event with alcohol involved! 

Oh dear 

Flippin eck! Supes! 

  Sleeping - i can literally sleep through an earth quake.

Raising my eyebrows individually and also wiggling my ears individually.

LOL ear wiggler - nice.

I can flare my nostrils - though i tend to refuse to 'perform'

 Yep I know. I never use the ear one but the eyebrow thing isn't so bad.

Nostril flaring is cool in a Billy Idol kind of way though.

Most recent example: we hadn't even bloody sat down and the woman from 36a, (has booked that seat every time, extra leg room!)  insisted on helping us put our hand luggage up, then told us how excited and lucky she was to be sat with us... Before we'd even taken off we knew her ex-husband had died on 12/12/12,  (an alcoholic who she'd met on a drink driving course!) the name of every bar man in Olu Deniz etc etc etc. TBF, I likened it to the first night in the BB house, I think she was excited!....BUT, some people have a 'don't talk to me face' I have a 'tell me everything' face!

Being a 'Grumpy Old Man'

I can whinge for England 

 You're not so bad EC. I wouldn't have had you down as grumpy  

 Ta Roger.

But I do have my moments.
