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

[Champ]

Nothing worse than a sleep deprived middle aged woman to say things to wind you up. No matter how well she looks after herself. ;) I agree though, with few exceptions, baldy men in their 30s 40s 50s and beyond look old and battered. Zeke and Jean-Luc Picard obviously laugh in the face of such generalisations, but by and large its true.

He's welcome to the car

The women, on the whole, will have looked after themselves

 

A quick gander at the 'World of a woman' thread and you wonder how.

 

All the men will be fat and be losing their hair.

Just reporting my experience. That thread bewilders me

[Torvald Utne]

I'm now a year older than my biological dad was the last time i seen him. So I actually look older myself now than how he does in my head.

Snap

Hades negged me for this innocent observation, the big baldy bastard.

I remember having 4 and i'm only 27. Were they 2?

Maybe the 1 got in there by mistake?

I think we got 'cable' in about 1993, so the fucks must be early 20s or some shit. Different world.

 

My spell checker in work doesn't recognise the word Czechoslovakia, that's how bad the situation has become.

Posh bastard, we had three. tuning the Tv in those days was like being a safe breaker, twisting the dial until you had tuned it in correctly.

Some nights, if the air was clear, you'd come across some weird channel that seemed almost alien, HTV (Wales)

 

We were one of the first families to have a colour TV in our flats. My mum had a few little cleaning jobs and she managed to get enough that we could have a rental colour tv on some deal. It was a coin operated TV and it was amazing. The only problem was that when my mates or anyone else called round we had to switch it to black and white. Probably to stop it being the talk of the flats and probably because we might have only had a b/w licence. I'm not sure. If there was a colour tv show on we'd pretend we had to go out or do something so people would go so we could watch it in colour. 

 

I also remember as a kid I couldn't afford to go to a certain sport. So I had my radio and that cream coloured headphone (one ear) and I'd sit there listening to the coverage on the radio. Most of the time they didn't have commentary of the whole event and you just got updates. This little radio I had took six © yellow and white vidor batteries. They seemed to last for ever, unlike the piss weak batteries you get these days.

I hope Usher doesn't read that.  That's a lifetime ban right there.

I recently cut all my hair off really short for the first time in 10 years.  Because I can.

These days I have my hair really short permanently, grey hair looks better when shorter. Plus short hair has other benefits, stick your hair under the tap for a few seconds, rub it with a towel and jobs a good un. 

[stringvest]

the shorter mine is, the greyer it is.  Nightmare.

It's a look which more brings to mind Smalltown Boy, El Générale, if we're being honest.

I remember when there was just BBC.

[Alan Sex]

Yup. Just went shorter with mine, due to some slight recidivism and greyness.

 

Said fuck it and let the wife use the shaver on it - not paying some cunt to spend 2 minutes buzzing my hair to one length.

[lifetime fan]

At the rate I've got grey coming through and overtaking ginger in my hair and beard, give it another 12 months and I'll look like this.
