Five Crap Things to Do as A Mod of a Certain Age
Whatever you do, do not get caught doing the following:
1) Driving out of Aldi's car park with the window down playing "Champagne Supernova" with your kids in the back
2) Carp on endlessly with rose tinted sunglasses about weekends in Irvine, Clacton, Rhyl (delete where applicable) when you know - it pissed down/ no one else came/ the club night consisted of 8 teenagers in parkas/ you could not find any digs
3) Assess your overall style as "with attitude" when your close friends and family call you "grumpy"
4) Hate everything that has no particular family tree back to your golden era....e.g. The Spice Girls at the finale of the Olympics etc etc
5) Buy a scale model lambretta for your office desk to recoonect you to your roots

# 2) is essential to mod, isn´t it? It´s what the Jam meant with "tears of rage roll down your face but still you say it´s fun..."!
