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

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.

£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.

That's exactly what I do. Found this decent barbers that does a decent haircut for £15. Has it done in under 20 mins as well.

[VladimirIlyich]

Clippers from Argos or Amazon for £20-£30 and you just suit yourself. Winning.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

£20.80?

 

Too fucking right it is!

Unless you get a happy ending with that, they're taking the piss.

The barber's makes me feel old since they've started asking whether I want them to trim my ears.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

When the price of my haircuts went up from £6.50 to £7 last year I almost shit.

 

Fuck paying £20 for someone to cut your hair.

The barber's makes me feel old since they've started asking whether I want them to trim my ears.

They don't even ask me if I want my ears and eyebrows done now.

You suddenly got a wife and kids to worry about?

A wife at least and a mortgage! And high blood pressure (unrelated)

Didn't you see the Da Vince Code, and all the recent rallies?

Wives are the new husbands.

You can disappear quietly into the background.

Don't stress.  Enjoy.

My oldest 8 mates all hitting 40 one by one since September, providing both a monthly countdown to my own and various amusing contrasts with how we used to celebrate each other's birthdays.

Saw online that the true test can be done by simply falling over.

 

If people piss themselves laughing you are young, if they panic and run over to help you are old.

Murder she wrote for me. 

[Jairzinho]

Had a kick about with a few mates earlier. The ball went over this really high fence, but there was a slightly shorter metal gate that I decided I could comfortably climb over. 

 

It was probably about 5m high. Got to the top and suddenly realised it was quite a long way down, and there was fuck all on the other side to allow you to climb down (nowhere to put your feet). So I was basically suspended on top of this fucking massive metal gate. Eventually deciding that I'm going to have to just drop down and if I die, I die. 

 

Didn't die, but did feel like an old cunt.

When everyone you know - both male and female - has got piles.

Played my first 90 minutes in nearly 10 years of some game or other on Saturday, and I'm in so much pain today I could cry.

That is bad.  I'm ancient and I've never had them.  Are you part of some 'sitting on cold surfaces' group Mark?

I think they call that kind of questioning behaviour 'over-intrusive', Mark

It's a beautiful sunny day in Liverpool today so I thought I'd swing by the AJ for a lunchtime drink and sit in the sun.

 

Most of the benches outside were occupied but I seemed to be the only one drinking.  Loads of students were eating their Tesco meal deal sandwiches drinking pints of orange and soda. In the 45 minutes I was sat there I saw about 2 other people, out of what must've been 20 people, bring alcoholic drinks out of the pub and sit down.

 

I felt like syaing something but obviously the barstaff weren't arsed as they were happy to collect the soft drink glasses from the tables and say nothing. Is drinking seen as not cool in the young people now?  What's this all about?  I'm really confused and it's not the 3 halfs of different real ales I had.  Tell you what, Dave from the Dispensary wouldn't take this shit.
