You know you are getting old when….

Barber?

Not been necessary for a few years now…. 🙄

When you are watching porn and think ‘Ooh that bed looks comfy!’.

When you are watching porn and there’s a bed in it.

You reply to threads about the general decline of good manners in modern society.

Hrrmph.

Hairy ears.

When you look at shoes and think “they look comfy” rather than “they look cool”. Usually in Clarks.

there are more apparently active hair follicles in your ear than on your head.

* Edit – Dang, ^^ been done.

…when you lift a keg and it feels like there’s a distant guitar being tuned too-tightly somewhere in your groinal regions.

….when you see an attractive 18 year old girl in a short skirt or low cut top and your only thought is…..

she must be cold dressed like that!

….when you see an attractive 18 year old girl in a short skirt or low cut top and your only thought is…..

You should be wearing a vest.

You buy a full susser for comfort rather than gnarr

When you’d rather have a nice cup of tea than go for a pint.

When you struggle to have sex 6 times a day and it was no problem at 18.

I hate getting old.

Whe you find out on another thread that young people today flirt by sending pictures of themself pooing to the opposite sex – I must be old, I just don’t get it….

“why do I live here”

The optician tells you that your “a year or so off needing bifocals” (applies to me)

When you start wearing predominantly beige (does not apply to me)

What her mother looks like.

Had the offer for trimmed eyebrows. There’s a frequent need to trim the forest out of the ears also.

Taking glasses off to read thing close up now. Bit more of a struggle with contacts though I asked for reading glasses for that, though don’t really use them.

Wait until the term “incipient cataracts” gets mentioned.

When a song comes on in the gym and you say ‘oh I remember this one’ and then realise that no one else there was born when it first came out….

Happy to report I’ve never worn crocks but a barber did once trim my eyebrows, I never went there again, the (insert appropriate name for the t##t here)

Growing old to me means seeing your offspring develop into wonderful human beings.

Quite a few of the jobs I have worked on and saw built, have since been demolished.

If the wife offers you “super sex”…..

For me that would be on a “you know you are dreaming” thread

Several “Big Hitters” openly admit to liking classical music

when you click on the Chat Forum and the first thread that pops out to you is “What Chisel” (mmmmmm, chisels)

When you go to the pub and a hot girl chats to you saying….” You know my mum” 😯

When you’re working with people who reminisce about being born the year the 1st Star Wars movie came out.

No, the 1st one, not the 4th.

Not just listening to Classic FM but gone past that stage.

4th is the first to me. No “Episode IV” when I saw it at the cinema 😀 (though admitted I don’t really remember much of it as I was 4)

professional sports people and police look young.

That was my point 🙂 I was born ’77 and apparently ‘saw’ Episode iV when I was 6 months old. Some of our apprentices were born ’98/’99. Conversations about the upcoming film have interestingly different perspectives.

Your Dr is younger than you. I’m only 37!

…you start noticing draughts.

You can address police as ‘son’

I have the urge to re-apply for my amateur radio licence after a 30 year break

When all the adults you knew as a child start popping their clogs.

…when you feel frail enough to need gears and suspension. 🙂

You know you are getting old when….

You feel like you want to sleep all the time … 🙁

18 & 20 year olds no longer look attractive, you think of them more as a headache then anything else.

The 30/40 year woman old on TV, or street though, looks mighty fine to look at.

Ears and eyebrows for long enough and I’m not that old just have some hair location issues…
I’m older than some of my gp’s
You try and explain that phones uses to have buttons

I thought it was well established that you’re only getting old when your farts start smelling like your Dad’s?

Tri Weekly – becomes

Try Weekly – which ultimately ends in

Try Weakly

Or you don’t care what you look like coz its comfy.

The Dr is younger than you.

A child you teach calls you ‘peak’. You assume it’s an adjective but not sure if you should be cross or complimented.
