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

When you discover a group military photo on the internet from years ago, you're in it and you can't remember it even being taken. 

 

I can probably scrape 90% of the 50 names of the people in the photo but can I hell remember that being taken.

This reminds me. A lad I used to work with went to a Police awards evening where he got talking with a senior Officer. The subject of family war medals came up and he was told he could proudly display his Grandfather’s medals on one side of his chest during official functions. After two or three times of trying to change the subject and also saying he didn’t think it was a good idea, he had to point out that his Grandfather was in the SS during the Second World War. You’d have thought the most German sounding surname imaginable would have given the Senior Officer a clue.

Old Hans, there's Fritz and Jurgen hasn't changed a bit.

I was at uni when this came out.

 

 

That was 20 years ago, and it's still ace now.

Bought a new front door over the weekend and genuinely can't wait until it's fitted.

Sitting with my birds younger brother 'Did you ever play football Al', fucking hang on a minute son I'm 35 not Pele*

Didn’t shave for a couple of weeks, the amount of grey was one thing.

 

What caused me to shave fucking sharpish was when I realised I had nasal hair growing into my moustache.

white hair > grey hair

Yep. Household improvements are the new version of looking forward to a lads holiday to Kavos when you was 18.

Wife ran a stall at Liverpool's Xmas market & I covered the pitch on a few of the days. Had a bit of a laugh with the young girl on the stall opposite one day & then the next day she said to the Mrs ' Oh your dad had me in stitches yesterday , when's he back on ?'

1. What does it look like?

2. Where did you get it?

3. I hope you've done your due diligence on your fitter. Nothing worse than a beautiful door fitted shoddy.

Put this in here before but my mate came out the gym and these girls about 18 looked at him. He looked back thinking maybe they were into him

As he got in his car he heard " urghh that man was well staring at you"

[sir roger]

oof!

 I know & I'm only 3 years older than her.

Being perturbed when my flight pops out of the dart stem because I have to bend down to pick it up...

 

I'm sure everyone has mentioned the being desperate for a piss when you wake up every morning thing, but that.

Im the morning

Lucky bastards,dont think i have not woke up to piss in the night in weeks. I knew turning 35 was the begging of the end

[littletedwest]

I have and have always had the world's weakest bladder. I'm up 3 times a night to piss and always have been.

Ditto.

 

Same when I go cinema, always need go for a piss half way through even if I don't get a drink.

[stringvest]

I'd get that stuff checked out lads.  There's no need to be getting up in the night for a piss unless you've had an absolute skinful.

I think mine is a learned behaviour to be honest, I got into a habit of forcing myself to have a piss prior to doing things so it wouldn't interrupt me.

[RedKnight]

Nearly always have to get up in the night for a piss. Before I go to the cinema I don't drink for two hours beforehand and have about 50 pisses before the film starts so I can make it through.
