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

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Getting excruciating pain in your knee and finding out you have osteoarthritis at the age of 45.

 

Not seeing any benefits to the aging process apart from wisdom.

 

oh yeah wisdom is great, finally knowing just how much of a fuck up you always were in your 20's. Then you convince yourself if you could go back to a teenager now you'd be the Wolf of wall Street.

When you stop doing the things that you know aren't worth doing, that's a real fucking eye opener. The other night I went for a bevvie, had a few and then the conversation which always comes up, so town... nah we'll just get off, no point staying out. Next thing I know, I'm sitting at home, SCENES.

If I go out to town it's in the afternoon for a bevvy and I'm on the train back just as the rabble are getting in with their loud music and shenanigans.

I'm not exaggerating to say a few years back the idea of going home late afternoon after a few made me physically sick.

My 7 year old daughter is having a sleepover and I spent most of the night wishing they'd just go to their bed so I could get an early night. Even tried to induce a carb coma by feeding them too much pizza. Nope. I can still hear them kicking about in the next room.

 

Help.

Not a chance. Sleepovers are super exciting for kids, they'll stay awake all night.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I'm glad she's happy and having a good night

 

I want sleep

 

It's a 5/95 split respectively

I've been living on wood street for 7 weeks up until last week and trust me the thought of having to stay in hearing the noise downstairs made me feel physically sick. Especially freshers week. That was a particular killer. Despite knowing that 10 years ago I'd have had 4 of them back in the flat in no time but now I'm an arl bastard and wouldn't stand a chance. Had 2 one night though.

Quiet at last. Could this be it? Nirvana?

That's fucking brilliant

Being almost old enough to be the grandfather of the latest player to make their debut for that team of ours.

I've stopped looking like me.

You're doing it wrong, mate. If our 8 year old girl has a sleepover it's loads of blankets, pillows and sleeping bags on the living room floor. Set them up with a few DVD's and a big bowl of sweets each, give them a set bed time and you're in for a nice early night.

Just make them do SAS style training as a fun game. They'll all be asleep by 9.

What is this sorcery?

Referees and linesmen start looking young to you.

Just say "Right girls, TV and lights off at 11 o'clock, I don't mind if you talk, giggle and whisper when you're lying down but I want you tucked in by 11."

 

They're 7/8, they think staying up until 11 is like pulling an all nighter. You get bonus points for going back downstairs if they've been quiet and telling them that you've changed your mind and because they've been so good they can switch it all off at 12 instead.

 

"MIDNIGHT!?!"

Girls' sleepovers were always a breeze at ours compared to boys' ones...way too much testosterone, outdoing each other with sugar overload, someone always brought a scary film that had someone up in the middle of the night unable to sleep with fear and wanting to go home and not one of the others offering any kind of help. And then after finally get off, some time after 3 they'd be up again just after 8 to eat you out of house and home and leave your kitchen floor swimming in split milk and sticky sugar. I have no nostalgia for those days whatsoever

Haha, yeah, I think it was for his 11th birthday, Callum had four friends over for a sleepover. Three of them didn't sleep at all. Lesson learned. He's only ever allowed one now.

I'm working by town now and just finished a late shift.

 

As I'm walking to the bus stop I'm admiring the young ladies in various states of undress and caught myself saying "you'll catch a cold dressed like that".

[lifetime fan]

It's all over, take me outside and shoot me.

[lifetime fan]

When even your own fucking wife hasn't heard of EMF.

[Frankenhooker]

When even your own fucking wife hasn't heard of EMF.

Unbelievable.

[Hand Shandy]

Unbelievable.

[lifetime fan]

Unfortunately you were beaten to that pun by someone else.

 

Luckily it still made me laugh again.

 

Repped.
