Old Git?

Well tonight I'm supposed to be out with the lads watching the footie, but four things have happened:

1. I'm becoming very choosy about what i drink and turn my nose up at lager or normal beer these days, all i want is a pint of real ale. Blimey, it's a sad fact but it's true. The pub in question only sells rubbish. Instead of just sitting there agreeing to drink lager - i suddenly found myself viciferously complaining.

2. The pub has taken out one of it's satellite feeds - or so the manager said, and they won't be showing the Arsenal match! The only reason i go to the pub is to watch both games simultaneously - so i might as well be at home watching it - this thought kept running around my head!

3. My mates are purile:

a) they are embarrassing to listen to, particularly when you hear the table next door having an eloquent conversation, where as ours is talking about - cocks and tits! :rolleyes:

my mind has always been slightly jumbled - most peope allow for this - tonight they didn't and every statement is picked to pieces, despite them eventually making it clear 'they knew what i meant everytime' - which really gets on my tits - though after a while they realised they were doing it and eventually made allowances.

c) They're constantly talking about the 'mad and crazy' hijinx they had a while ago - i wasn't there and it sounds a bit juvenile to both me and anyone else having to listen to it.

d) they can't hold a conversation about anyhthing, it's constant sexual, racist or character assassination on anyone who enters their domain and I'm fed up of it - I'd rather drink on my own as Billy No Mates from now on.

d) The amount of swearing un-nerves me - guess i am on the outside looking in tonight but it makes me cringe to realise it.

4. I had no money and wasn't prepared to spend dosh in the environment described above.

So i came home.

What? Have i become Mr Intolerent? I noticed today reading the forums that there are some posters i just think, 'I can't be bothered with' for no other reason than they are petty or just be juvenile.

Yup i've suddenly developed a generation gap - how sad is that? Maybe I'm too sober? Maybe it's giving up the smokes? (Well smoking 'Honeyblend' which incidentally i like, but most people can't stand) Suddenly i have some high and mighty complex going on where i find people childish (not childlike) and can't be bothered! Zero tolerence too - I find myself walking away or just labelling folks as thick (in my myspace world) and telling them to get lost.

Is it my age? Whatever it is, i find myself an educated, eloquent conversationist suddenly seeking similar for adult conversation (no not that sort, you should know what i mean) and about to ditch my old mates cos seriously talking to single blokes who have never had a girlfriend! about the women in the pub, 80s kitsch or cult Tv shows really isn't cutting it anymore.

So anyone got any ideas how i can find new mates my also bored of this situation or having already moved on to hang out with? Cos this lot are doing my head in! :wub:
