View Full Version : How do you know you're getting older?
Ok peeps, I'm just home following a lovely evening with a lovely friend.
Been in a local hostilier, hos, em pub, since 5pm and had a wonderful meal and a bottle of wine, and now home with the jammies on ready for bed!
Anyhooo....pal and I were reminising about the days we used to have a bottle of wine EACH in the house before we went out clubbing! That would kill me now! Good grief I feel old! Guess my liver is 20yrs older now!
So, mighty org, how do you know you're gettng older?!
Thanks petals dx:D
My youngest son starts school in September that makes me feel old :D. Ah yes I remember the drinking before we went out clubbing, however, now if I do over indulge in alcohol the hangovers also take longer to recover from :rolleyes: :p

You know your getting older when you go out for a drink and the music is too loud in the pub. Also you can go out drinking no problem but the hangover takes longer to get rid of and you feel a lot worse for going out drinking.

You know you are getting older when you have to go to the toilet more especially during the night (even if you ahven't been drinking)
When Il Divo is your first choice of music

I knew I was getting old when I caught myself actually being interested in the tile brochure my wife brought home.

1.When you go out for a drink, and can only manage 3 pints before calling it quits..
2.You start looking at the share prices and start worrying about your pension years financial worries
3. A Hangover takes all day to dissapear the following day
4. You spend your weekend nights at home drinking tea watching the tv
5. Any of your kids start school
6. You slow down your driving, and become grumpy Mr. Victor Meldrew of "One foot in the ground"
7. Your body takes longer to heal after accidents
8. You've reached the point of no return to dangerous youthful activities
when no matter how much you shake your manhood you still get a dribble down yer leg.
You call everyone nipper?

ooooooooo that's bad :o
Conversations start with, "In my day..." or "when I was your age, we..."
I felt old when my baby girl got her provisional licence and passed her CBT.
You also feel old when you notice that all the police men look about 12 and you dont fancy them.
Im definitely old as I have started gardening and enjoy going round garden centres and not just for the cakes in cafe

When all the teachers at your kids school look as though they're about 12 and should still be in school themselves!
And when you start to buy big comfy pants :-)

When you ache all over after you've slept for 8 hours in a comfy bed.
Things don't work as well as you remember they used to
You've heard and done it all before, but now it looks much better but more dangerous
Everyone below 27 is better looking than when you were available
When you see a girl with a short skirt in the office your first thought is whether it's appropriate for the work place.
You consider caravaning hardcore living in the wild and the new Global Traveller model is a must have.
... Global Traveller model is a must have.
I've seen it mate! And it looks bloody good...loads of space for the kids and dog.
That'll be my next purchase...;)

when you bend down to pick something up and give an involuntary groan as you get back up.
When you start telling your kids how relevant bands like Joy Division were and they say, who ? and when they start in the final year at school in September and are talking about uni, and when you continually run downstairs for something and by the time you get down there you forgot what you were going for so have a brew and watch the history channel, then remember what it was you were after but cant remember were you left it / them, allegedly ;)
Oh yeah, and every sentence to your wife ends in ''yes dear'' :rolleyes:

It sounds like Tim gets the award for oldest so far... kids starting school, mere infants, oldest kids going to Uni, middleaged, but Grand kids, oh boy!

Isn't it when you look at an eLCie and can remember really wanting one!?
(An eLCie for those far too young, was Yamahas hoodlum 250cc (or 350, but that needed a full license) stroker)

when in the throws of passionate sex when your about to lift your partner in the air you say 1,2,3 lift
this could also mean your partner could do with loseing a few pounds
I suppose it's once nearly everybody you knew are dead and gone, family, friends and when an ex of yours has had a heart attack and passed on... Plus all the doctors and cppers look half your age...at least...
1.When you go out for a drink, and can only manage 3 pints before calling it quits.. Still not a problem
2.You start looking at the share prices and start worrying about your pension years financial worries Have been for about two years
3. A Hangover takes all day to dissapear the following day Takes two days now
4. You spend your weekend nights at home drinking tea watching the tv Still go out
5. Any of your kids start school Eldest is worrying about 30, youngest just left Uni
6. You slow down your driving, and become grumpy Mr. Victor Meldrew of "One foot in the ground" Ain't never going to happen - double negative. Does that mean it already has?
7. Your body takes longer to heal after accidents Mmmm, I need weaning off pain killers
8. You've reached the point of no return to dangerous youthful activities The mind is up for it but the body won't even get into the start position
I'm not old!:dj:
I just can't do some of the things i used to do:smt026
I realised I was old when I looked in the mirror and wondered who'd stuck a photo of my dad on it.
That was the same day I accepted that plastic surgery is a viable proceedure.

If like me you can think you could do a 400 mile run have meals out an still have enough for pub at night on a fiver
I will never get old, so I have no idea what you lot are gabbling on about.
I was going to agree with that, but after reading the thread, I'm more inclined to agree with this one...
great !!!! thanks everyone !! I now realise i'm old :-(
I'm 26. Time to buy a kart & get into racing again, or perhaps a quad...

When you see someone "getting a bit thin on top" instead of a "****ing slaphead",
when the women under thirty are looking a bit young,
when people at work start showing you some respect,
when the elbow that you've spent twenty years playing badminton with packs up.
So remember, "you're only young once but you can be juvenile as often as you like". Now get out there and ride like a hooligan (while you still can).

You feel damp, but cannot remember needing a wee
you say things that your parents said
you remember the fashion first time around - and still hope that you looked better than they do
everyone else is having kids and getting married and all dropping not so subtle hints
you start buy multipack of toilet roll - cos its a good deal!
You become legal for buying alcohol in a month..
Woops, wrong thread ;)
Sorry guv', honest mistake :rolleyes:

When my 6 year old daughter asks to use the computer.
Coversation this morning went a bit like this:
"Dad can I go on the computer."
"What for?"
"I want to go on google."
"GOOGLE!! What do you want to go on google for?!
" I want to search for childrens games on the cbeebies site"
"but Maggie you are only 6 how do you know about google?"
"oh dad we use computers at school all the time, of course I know about it"
"ok then do you know what you are doing "
"of course i do. Do you want me to show you how to do it?"
At this point I walked away and left her to it. Just hope she doesn't click on loads of stuff to slow the computer down again.

When you are scared of doing things on the computer for fear of "slowing it down" :rolleyes:
