Getting the clippers out to cut your hair you have to run it over your ears as well and you have to check your eyebrows to see if they need clipping at the same time.

🙁

LOL

You know when you are getting old when your knees wake up 10 minutes after the rest of you (and older when your bladder wakes up 10 minutes before).

The length of my nasal hair worries me. I've taken to measuring each one I pull out and the record is sitting at 14mm.

Why would I ever need 14mm nasal hair!

lol @ nickc

I've never understood ear hair. I don't have it (yet) and really hope I never do. Already have my old man's eyebrows with the one random piece of wire sticking out like an antenna in each one.

Ear hair tickles when you go fast on your bike...

When clipping my own hair, it now takes markedly less time to do the top than it did when I did it first, five or six years ago...

You know you're old when:

The candles on the cake cost more than the cake itself.

You choose your cereal for the fibre and not for the toy to be found inside.

When broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist
change mysteriously swap places.

Jesus TJ, I have one of those. Over my left eye. Mrs deadly's always trying to get at it. Complete ninja eyebrow...grows straight out of my forehead instead of in line with the rest and about twice as long as it's conformist comrades. I call it my "guardianista" eyebrow.

True but also you remember when they put toys in cereal. I think they stopped putting toys in cereal...in fact they must have stopped as my kids would fight like wild banshees to get to the toy if they still put them in cereal.

When you go into Lush for a £20 gift voucher. The shop assistant tells you they only sell £5 and £10 vouchers and you're happy because now you've got something to complain about

When you don't have to push when taking a piss, in fact more often, it's a struggle to hold it back because you had a nice cup of tea 10 minutes ago

Daily Mail headlines start to make sense

The opician says you should think about bifocals and you take offence narrowly avoiding the use of the words "young man" in the following rant. So upset and offended by this you go for a pint, only to realise that you have to peer over your glasses because your close up vision is so piss-poor that you can't even see the money in your own hand.

Old eh? Old ???

I'll tell you about old m'laddy.....

Old is when you think Playboy magazine is for paedophiles.... when 40 year old women look attractive to you.... when sleep attacks you the moment you get home from work... when stuff you have had in the wardrobe for 20 years becomes cool again, but ironically won't then fit anymore... when you get your Lenny the Lion Esso coins out in response to the news that we might get the world cup again.... when you know what a tigers tail is about.... when you remember the time when we had colonies all over the world.... when you talk about Rhodesia..... when you realise that caning is something people now pay for ..... when you ask a copper where he keeps his whistle... sonny...... when you still know how to adjust rod brakes... when cotter pins are still in your toolbox... when you see Paul Nicholas on telly and think blimey he's aged .....

Theres more, but I've got to do some work at some point

Ahh, that's why I don't buy cereals any more. No toys. Despite what they say in the adverts, I've never found the snap, crackle, pop to be that entertaining. Bring back the choking hazards I say. I really had no idea they'd stopped that.

I saw Paul Nicholas yesterday and thought he looked a little thinner on top 😯
