[Closed] You know you're old when

your nose hair grows faster than the hair on your head....

I quite like the new Bowie album.

That's half dead rather than old 😉

You realize that a volume control goes down as well as up

your using more facewash than shampoo in the shower

The attractive young (female) hairdresser asks if you want her to trim your ear hair

You sky+ last night documentary on BBC 2 on the Flying Scotsman.

Yeah I felt the need to give chase and catch three local youths from the village a give them a bollocking the other week for throwing stones at the village hall.

made me feel bloody old

Yoofs today 🙄

I go to the same barbers I have been going to for the last ten years. Without being asked, they started trimming my ear hair about a year and a half ago.

I turn 40 next year.

You get pointlessly irritated by people misusing "your" and "you're" on forums.

You have absolutely no idea who is number one on the hit parade.

Ferraris start looking like the inside of a tin of broken biscuits

You use the phrase 'hit parade'.

You realise the rules are there to keep everyone safe, not to be broken.

You start buying tins of broken biscuits

Lol @ midlands g 🙂

you stand with the fridge door open wondering if your hingrey or if you just had something

You're the only one still snowboarding....

😉

Yo haven’t ridden your bike for the last 4 years mainly due to recurring back injuries.

You need reading glasses... 😥

EDIT: yes, with a string on them.

every time somebody raves about a " new " song you can remember the origonal version

right I'm off to the knackers yard

You start feeling something stuck in your ear on road descents, and no matter how much you stick your finger in it can't be dislodged.. then you realise it's your hairy ears.

You start writing letters to the rights-of-way officer complaining about young ruffians on motorcycles. 😐

You're still [s]art [/s]writing letters [s]to the rights-of-way officer complaining about young ruffians on motorcycles. [/s]

FTFY. 😉

Women you used to go Phwooarr! over in your youth now look like respectable old grannies!

Bands you used to go and see in your twenties are now on their second comeback, sound cr@p, and play in Las Vegas to pay their tax arrears.

Your favourite film stars are all dead.

...hangovers last more than one day and you no longer plan two 'big nights' in a row.

You just spend your life in a state of constant irritation, though you're not sure about the exact source of it. And you spend a lot of your time shouting at the telly, particularly Newsnight

And the worst of all, thinking 'she's going to catch her death going out dressed like that'. When did that happen?

<cries>

Thanks CFH

😉

And the worst of all, thinking 'she's going to catch her death going out dressed like that'. When did that happen?

I'd imagine it happened shortly after you moved to Newcastle.

you complain to the council about street lights being out and danger to the public, and after 3 weeks and 6 emails/phone calls which go unanswered you flounce and look up local councillor and contact him.

aww bollocks I misssed that

Go for a couple of beers then sit down for a curry 'not too late'. On Saturday it was 9.30pm.

Your worried about the petrol consumption of your lawn mower.

Last time I went for beer & curry, I was ready for home and my "comfortable trousers" by 10pm.

I might sign myself up for the Liverpool Care Pathway right now.

I'll second the wearing glasses for reading.. But the rest so far I don't/won't acknowledge.

" laughs at " hit parade""

You start indicating in car parks!

When you buy pearl barley.

Women you used to go Phwooarr! over in your youth now look like respectable old grannies!

But you still would 😈

When the ideal, wantonly indulgent, post-dinner weekend treat goes from being a cheeky line, to a nice doze on the sofa

ROCK AND ROLL!!! HELLO CLEVELAND!!! HELLOOOOOOOOOO CLEVELAND!!!!!!

You admit to owning

"comfortable trousers"

<cries some more>

<signs the Liverpool Care Pathway forms>

<pays the child next-door a shilling to take them to the Post Office>

you can remember the first "You know you're old when" thread.
