you should get the warden to filter those out before he brings your post up Dave

This will, I’m sure, have been mentioned before but the speed in which your finger and toe nails grow as you age.

 

I’m sure I only cut my finger nails last week and I already look like Flo Jo.

For me its nose and ear hair combined with the nails. I think the hair you lose at the top makes its way to those other outlets.

Making a complaint to the council about your neighbours across the street because they let their cunt of a dog bark in their front garden all day.

Constantly Googling the ages of famous people to see if they're older or younger than me.

 

A growing feeling of being completely irrelevant to young people, to the point where I may as well be a mirage in supermarket clothes.

You can remember when the ‘World Of A Woman’ thread was for laughing at the thoughts and words of women

That’s where you fucked it. Reckless behaviour for a man of your vintage.

Went to my 3rd funeral this year of a friend yesterday. Yet another one gone. Makes you reflect on your own mortality.

It does. Sorry for your loss mate.

Fucking hell, I'm watching Roadhouse and checked Sam Elliott on IMDB and realised he's the same age in this as I am now. 

 

Getting old is shit.

I had about 5 or 6 a couple of years back. It was a horrible year.

A sneeze is no longer just a sneeze, it's now a potential back injury. 

I worked with someone years ago who put her back out sneezing. She was in her 50’s at the time. A couple of months later she retired early due to her back. I have heard recently she’s still going at 82!

Went to an 80's music festival in Wavertree yesterday and spent most of the day standing. Got out of bed earlier to go for a pee and my legs have apparently forgotten their job  and I ended up on the deck.

Sounds like when Bruce falls down the side of the toilet in Mr Inbetween.

Went to the Blackpool  sandcastle this morning. 3 hour session, did every ride. My body already feels like it's starting to break down with the stress of the slides. I thought I was going to pass out on one of them due to the speed. Tomorrow is going to be an ibuprofen day
