The "things that make you realise you're getting older" thread

[Section_31]

Comfort and warmth being placed above style. I'm wearing an overcoat today and a scarf - and if I do say so myself - look like someone's middle aged dad, but I don't care.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I'm having a laugh at those who are around 30 calling themselves old. I'd fucking love to be 30 again.

Been doing a course at Liverpool Uni of an evening, and the other week walked past the union with loads of students pouring in for a Thursday night pissup. I had this slight sadness and an urge to join them, but then realised my knee was stiff with the cold and that I was quite tired.

Im 18 in 4 weeks. Knowing that in 29 days I'll be legally allowed to buy a pint. Makes me feel old.

It's like your reading my mind, and you really don't want to know what going on in there!!!

I never used to feel the cold that much, it's getting to my joints these days though. I'm even considering wearing a t shirt in bed. I can still hack the cold weather outside without dressing up like the others as an Eskimo. I think that's just the last ounces of youthfulness clinging on though.

Yeah, it wont last.

If I walk round town late at night I just look at people shrieking and carrying on and think "what the fuck?".

 

And then a little voice in my head goes " you miserable old cunt you......."

When porno MILFs seem young.

I've not got anything planned for tomorrow night yet and it doesn't bother me in the slightest that I might end up having a quiet one with the missus.

 

I'm not sure if that's age or me just progressively becoming more lazy and boring.

Looking at modern crime shows and saying "The Sweeney wouldnt have put up with that"

The noughties has to be the fastest decade for me ,where the fuck did that decade go?

Realising the next decade is going to rack up my 40th makes me feel ill.

When I was getting ready to go the game with Usher the other night I said as I put my big ugly coat on "fuck it, it's not exactly a fashion parade is it ", I knew there and then I needed to stage a mid 20's life intervention.

welcome to my world.

I'm 26 but my mental age gets lower every year.

 

I'm fucking Peter Pan.

I'm fucking Peter Pan.

 

You dorty Pedo. Burn him!

My mental age is about 12, but the body, it don't obey.

[Spy Bee]

I am taking up swimming for fitness because my dickie knee can't take too much running.

 

I got bought PJ's for Christmas.

 

I am looking at "family cars" and thinking "Oooh I like that one - very practical!"

 

I don't stay out getting drunk when I know I have to be up in the morning.

 

I find myself shaking my head when I talk to 18 year olds. When I do I am always thinking one thing in my head "You'll learn!".

[Liverpool lad]

When somebody the same age has you has children, or even worse they pass away.

 

Also a neighbour of mine died this year, and he was one of those people you always seen about, made me more aware of how precious life is

Watching on the busses and seeing arguments over a 5p fair. Now its £1.49 ouch!!

[Stouffer]

I've not got anything planned for tomorrow night yet and it doesn't bother me in the slightest that I might end up having a quiet one with the missus.

 

Was just thinking that.

 

 

Oh and the imminent arrival of kids and the realisation that I have neither the skills nor maturity to look after them.

Why would that make you feel old Simon? You weren't born when On The Busses was out. That's like saying the fact Julius Caesar didn't have a mobile phone makes you feel old.

I thought that myself. The sad thing is, I do remember 5p bus fares. I remember when it cost 5p on the bus from Bromborough village to the Oval, and 9p to get in the baths. I feel like my fucking Grandad typing this post.
