I've noticed today that I now have hairs growing out of my earholes.

Yeah, your physical decline has now stepped up a notch.

Everything seems to be a chore now, everything seems more difficult. Just cannot be arsed.

Life's a grind mate. Just have to keep going and enjoy the more pleasurable things which are less often as you get older.

I know mate. I just silicone the bath and normally removing and replacing it would take me half an hour, took ages. Anything I do in my own home is a chore haha.

If you have the money, one of the pleasures of getting older is getting a man in (oo errr) to do those jobs you put off forever

I’m a builder haha. In future I will get one of the lads or my nephew, with it being right on Xmas I thought I would do it. To be fair I hadn’t done it for donkeys years.

I’m part time/semi casual/ anxious and depressed/ cba. The money angle is fine, the willingness is not.

Just fill it in with dried Weetabix, that stuff is impenetrable.

Had a new bathroom fitted 3 years ago and it needed doing, problem is it’s different widths. Next time I will plug it first with Weetabix and silicone over.

I got a new nose hair trimmer for Christmas and I couldn't be happier.

And you can use it on your ears too. Bonus.

Driving through town late at night and seeing scantily clad young women who've been on the piss, and your first though is 'fuck me they must be cold.'

Reminiscing with mates about big nights out in the past and it making me shudder. The thought of staying out until 7am and doing some class A's absolutely horrifies me now.

I have mates who still do it despite being married with kids. Madness. 

 

Nowadays when it gets to 11.30pm I start twitching in case I'm going to miss out on my sleep.

Was watching that Simon Pegg film World's End last night and they pull that feeling off that I get sometimes of 'nights out will never be as good as that again.' No real responsibilities, when you go out you know everyone, there's always a bird you're keeping your eyes out for, places were busier then too. Also some of the daft shit seemed funnier, when we were bladdered we used to steel for sale signs and put them in a mate's front garden. Our record was 24.

I’m just glad the shit that me and my mates got up to wasn’t videoed on a mobile phone and posted all over social media like the modern generation do.

Quite. I'd almost certainly be in prison.

Everyone was single or, at least, in a relationship that didn't really matter. The idea of going out with the intention of getting pretty drunk, all with girlfriends just seems like a complete waste of time. Properly British (or at least Northern European) thing this. Probably part of the reason we have so many fights on nights out in the UK. Nights out were primitive.
