You’ve done tons of stuff but see there is still loads of good stuff left to go, it’s just new stuff that you wouldn’t have got when you were younger. Brilliant

Being able to say to Young People those immortal words; ‘When I was Your Age…’

Getting a sneak preview of the day ahead’s weather when you have your 3:00am pee. 😕

Laughing inside at young people while they make all the same stupid mistakes that you did.

Looking at a nice young lady in a short dress and thinking ‘She’ll get cold in that’

Knowing stuff. Not bobbins stuff that came out of a book or a university course but real stuff. Like immediately knowing when someone is lying or being able to pick up the nicest bit of steak on the supermarket shelf in a second.

Going for a wee. It really is one of the simplest yet most enjoyable things a middle aged man can do.

Being chilled about the right things. This is my ultimate middle aged best thing. Kids are usually chilled about everything but that just cocks their lives up, *knowing* which things demand attention and which things you can ignore is a beautiful place to be.

Having a Log-in to STW…

Believing that switching your mobile off at times is normal behaviour

And similarly – not being scared witless about going out for a ride/walk/run in the countryside and remaining un-contactable for the whole time.

Laughing at all the 40 something’s that think THEY,RE old 😀 my three kids are all 40 somethings

^^ but still being annoyed at the airplay of Radio 2 during the day ^^

+1 start with Chris Evans and then switch to Absolute 80s for the rest of the day….

Having a Log-in to STW…

Thinking how young all the Mods look these days…..

Buying Classic Bike magazine and saying,I had one of those. Worth a fortune now.

The number of women that come in the radar.
Reckon there must be a formula somewhere to work it out.

For me… going back to Uni as a “mature” student, and actually being interested in learning something rather than just getting pi$$ed and laid like the first time around.

clearly I’m not middle aged yet then.

Not having to get off the sofa to go to the loo. 🙁

“Not giving a toss.”

Surely at odds with your new job description Cougar?

For me, its the different kind of satification/noise that comes from a hard earned beer at the end of the day, knowing you won’t end up with your head down the toilet at the end of it (as long as you stick to two 😐 )

Not having the remotest idea of what local bars or clubs are meant to be any good. In fact, being completely unaware of their existence. Yet now being able to give a detailed critique/comparison of all the wine lists at local restaurants, and which use the best locally sourced produce

i remember watching England Brazil in the 1970 world cup and the moon landings..

Watching younger people’s eyes glaze over with boredom whilst you tell them about some interesting thing that happened before they were born…

🙄

Come on whats this middle aged at 40 ?

Most of you have missed the boat, you’ll not live to 80+

You misunderstand. I just mean I don’t give a toss about moany-arsed users, so I’m perfect for the job. (-:

Actually, the older you get the range of people that look great goes up as well.

I’d be careful there Kryton – he may be looking for his first kill

“First”?
