1. Memory loss.
2. Nothing making sense.
3. Less hair on your head than a standard eyebrow.

Oh dear...

Now you seem to be rambling on about yourself. 😉 😛

Old chap is something you might say to a fellow over afternoon tea, and old mate if you are a vendor of jellied eels or contemplating a bank heist.

Permit me if I may, but said vendor or robber may also be referred to as one's china.
As in 'get that stocking over your head me old china, this job is going to be a Glen Hoddle.'

China plate being cockney rhyming slang for mate and Glen Hoddle (ex England football manager), being cockney slang for doddle.

Yes sir, old China would be an acceptable variation.

Here, have a jellied eel.
