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

Acknowledged, but it doesn't interest me that it can do a million other things that what I actually use it for. Somebody told me I was only using about 3% of what it can actually do, and I'm fine with that. Phone calls, texts and porn on the go.

Hard to disagree with that.

I observed earlier today that I liked the look of some of the stuff in Oak Furniture Land.

 

I'm officially middle aged.

[stringvest]

Sorry Mook, but even Cath wouldn't shop in there.

[Hooch]

Technology no longer interests me.

 

Deffo. That goes more widely for loads of consumer shite people seem to love talking about.

 

New tellys, new phones, apps for said phone, games etc.

 

None of it is really useful to me. Dunno if that's an age thing though, probably more I'm just a boring twat.

One of the kids was watching a quiz show on the CBBC channel last night and there was a question about planets. I was shaking uncontrollably trying to suppress laughter every time someone said the word 'Uranus'.

 

Does that immaturity ever go away?

I'd just composed myself after reading Roy keanes 5 greatest comebacks on the Rocky thread when I went past the cock & bottle pub. Thought I was gonna shit

What kind of back handed compliment is that?!?!

The realisation you've only a few haircuts left before you bic it all off.

Going the barber is a pain in the arse though.

£20.80?

 

Too fucking right it is!

Where have you gone? Thats well expensive.

 

I go to the Turkish/Kurdish barbers, they do a class job and only charge about £8.

[Tony Moanero]

From experience, you mostly get what you pay for. Sure, there are some decent cheapo barbers out there, but most haven't got a clue.

[Furmedge]

I take my lad and we get a dad and lad discount, costs me a tenner.

 

Doesn't matter they cut my hair like Adolf Hitler and never listen to what I ask them to do, it's a tenner innit?

[Furmedge]

Do we become more cynical, less tolerant or more aware when we get older?

I've been going to this barbers for nearly 20 years, I've tried others over the years and have had some fucking horrendous haircuts.

 

Ginger Afro isn't easy to tame and make look almost passable.

[Tony Moanero]

Years ago, I asked a cheapo barber for a Michael Corleone, I ended up with a John Terry. Never again.

[lifetime fan]

Bit like the back of Terry's noggin, where he has the back and sides clippered right down so it almost looks like a mowhawk?

 

I had some twat do that to me before.

 

I'd much rather spend an extra tenner a month to not look an even bigger cunt.

[Mook]

£20 a month on your hair? Fucking hell.

 

I get mine chopped off for £9 & then let it grow for 6 months before bothering my arse to go back, £18 a year it costs me.

 

I do look a complete cunt though.

No, John Terry, circa early to mid 00's, spiky all over. The haircut of a seven year old, whose ma has let him have something a bit wacky.

The faster a barber is the better he is in my experience, a good barber can sort a short hairstyle out in under ten minutes, when they start fucking around with little scissors and shavers and shit you know you're on a slow train to looking like Ivan Drago after a fight with airwolf.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Going out with the intentions of putting a few bets on the Gold Cup but instead buying stuff to make cakes with and a miniature train set to play with your daughter and being glad you did.
