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

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Hey, what's to be upset about? They sound like great times

They were Cath, they were.

There are those little square photos with the white edges of me in my pushchair being taken to feed the ducks at Newsham Park. I love those little pictures

Sefton Park and Princes Park for me when I was just an ankle biter.

Nostalgia is often bittersweet.

It certainly is.

The way lads 10 years younger than me speak. It's all "bare" this and "fam" that, "allow it" and "manz be like". I live in an Arsenal fan TV version of The Truman Show

*I have no idea what the Scouse equivalent is these days. It's probably higher pitched than my accent though.

When your youngest child turns 18. Surely I should be more grown up than this?

I tried to buy a can of Coke from the Poundshop and the woman said it worked out cheaper to buy two and did I want to go back and get another one, but I just got a little bit flustered and confused, put the can down and walked out.

haha!  one step away from finding your specs in the fridge and wearing a loaf of bread on your head by mistake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone does that some point, eh lads?  Lads?

Excellent stuff. Summer of 69 always makes me nostalgic even though I wasn't born then and am not from North America.

I reckon the electric toothbrush I got for Christmas might be the best present I've ever been given.

[manwiththestick]

I'm 42 and probably since the age of about 14 I have never wore pyjamas nor entertained the idea. The ma in law bought me a pair for Christmas and my first thought was this was a piss take but I put them on on boxing day night and they were dead comfy.

 

I'm going to wear them wear no one's in.

I stride around the house naked when no-ones in admiring my six pack and pecs in the my reflection on the patio doors.  I thought everyone did that?

I'm not a huge fan but his hits went over well, especially Summer of 69.

 

Fascinating fact - the 69 referred to in the song is actually the sexual position rather than the year. Adams would have only been 10 years old in 1969, but the song is autobiographical.

[manwiththestick]

I wrote one similar, it was called That night after the club when OJ was getting chased on a sky news feed.

 

Not as catchy.

Perfectly normal behaviour, Pete.

Interesting.

 

I just assumed it was because 79 had too many syllables and 89 hadn't happened yet.

This has just proper tickled me! Pissing myself!

[Furmedge]

We get our shopping delivered and I pore over the best before dates on the packaging to see which items I can get refunded online.

 

Just got £1.60 back on two packs of mushrooms that are dated tomorrow.

My youngest turns 18 in two weeks. I must be fucking ancient now.
