A few years back, a mate and I were identifying indicators of getting older. You know the stuff: coppers looking younger; music is crap; a hefty sigh when asked to do anything.
When the combined age of the medal winners in an Olympic event total 44, I think that’s a new one to add to the list.
Well done to da yoof I say. |  |

Driving at night..... always remember an old lad from the pit would not drive at night and could never understand why...now I do
Sitting hoping the wife wants to go to bed and trying to stay awake long enough so that she is asleep and I have escaped
Trousers upto your chest.... when do they come
When out with a son in law and they say she is fit and you ...ehhhh?
Best by dates don't mean anything and even a little green mold is ok
When a korma as the same affect as a phal in the mornings
Living in bed at 3am convincing yourself that you don't need a pish
Point 2 again at 3.05 after the pish.... don't wake the wife up incase......
When reading the paper without your glasses constitutes work out with arm stretches
When you listen to a comic and say he's not as funny as perm any one from the 60/70
Becoming your dad When you shout up the stairs to a daughter turn that racket down
When your 12 Yr old grandchild can set up the power point presentation in 5 mins that you have worked on for 3 days
Saying ..... in my day
Saying..... I remember when
Saying...... how much !!! |
I’m a bit like Manfred Mann’s Earthband driving a car at night,blinded by the light.
I sometimes wear the yellow anti glare glasses for night driving,and it is better than driving with normal glasses.It Isn't a problem it my truck as I’m above the eyeline for oncoming headlights. |  | | |

I was talking to a fella at work on one of these zoom calls in the summer about the Euros being a bit like Euro 96 and was saying how drunk I got at the Scotland game when Gazza scored etc and he told me he was only born in 1998 so had no idea what i was talking about. I felt like a Grandad talking about the war |
I had the same experience watching the Euros semi in the pub with a friend and telling a lad on the next table that we had been at Wembley for the 1996 semi. He said he was born in 1997. It would be like an old boy telling me how we were robbed in Chile in 1962.
Calling younger people "lads", there's another. |  | | |

That was the one that was giving out hairs for free.It’s cheap and I like it,but don’t ask my daughter for a review. |
Used to be a great chippy... Not sure if I want extra hairs but may give it a try soon 👠|  | | |

I was sat in the barbers’ chair recently and after she’d finished my hair she looked me in the eye via the mirror and asked me if I’d like my eyebrows trimmed too.
That’s it then. I’m old. |  | | |

The real sign of age is if you trip over flat on your face. When your young everybody laughs but when your old everyone rushes over to see if you are alright. |  | | |

When i was a bit younger a few youngsters joined our football team and i tried giving it large and wanting to go out clubbing with them until one of them said "You used to play with my Dad!"
Also realising I`m now telling my kids the same things my old man said to me |  | | |

Smelling of piss.
Waking up with aches and pains in your body in parts of your body you never knew existed.
Constantly losing your glasses.
Constantly moaning.
Constantly saying "what" |
You've always moaned. |  |

Fcking hangovers are harder to handle now.
Remember getting in anytime between 1am and 5am on any day of the week then back out again for work at 6 with only the mildest of headaches and tiredness. Nowadays the day after is a write off. |
I've thrown in the towel (for now at least!) and I haven't touched the booze since 16th May.
The hangovers just tipped the scales too far for me. It's all a bit surreal after 34 years of drinking but I recommend having a break at least. |  |

Great shout.
The threat of IKEA on a Sunday morning from my malevolent non drinking partner usually is enough to make me moderate on a football day or Saturday night nowadays. [Post edited 4 Aug 2021 13:35]

On realising you no longer object to being dragged around garden centres. And then while there, routinely gravitating to the latest offerings in the BBQ section. | | | |

My wife is most definitely not a non drinker, so the chances of her dragging me to IKEA on a Sunday morning are zilch.
We had a memorable row in IKEA many years ago but Eric Sabin scored his world famous winning goal at Grimsby as we headed home in silence, so that cheered me right up! | |

Realising that almost without exception, those little pictures which accompany people's e-mail addresses in business e-mails depict colleagues who are younger looking than me 
Being ecstatic if I can get through a game of eight a side football unscathed
Eight a side football reprise: Needing a warm-up* which is getting ever closer to the duration of the game and then having to mark someone young enough to me by grandson. Sigh.
* Jog for five minutes, Achilles stretches, calf stretches, adductor stretches, quad stretches, hamstring stretches (two different types)... |  |
