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

[littletedwest]

Just got a new passport I'll be 47 when it expires. How did it get to this?

compression socks.

 

amazing.

Yes. Struggled for ages when running or playing football and despite stretching beforehand always pulled a calf muscle and end up limping for days.

 

Bought some compression sleeves and not had a problem since.

Was trying to explain a vertical record player to the wife. She still won’t believe me we had one as kids and reckons I’m on a wind up.

Went in to town after the unmentionable on Saturday and got the first train out. Was like the Wild West. Fell asleep on the couch by 11 and woke up on Sunday with a lovely feeling of freshness and general smugness that I never had my head in a sick bowl.

On Friday night Izzy had a school disco, on the way there a women in front of us in traffic broke down. It brought traffic to a standstill so I jumped out and went through make sure the driver was ok. Me and another bloke pushed her jeep thing over the crest of a hill onto the pavement.

 

I can only just move.

 

(It’s possible I’ve mentioned this in another thread but my memory is fucked too)

Young whippersnapper 

 

I was looking for my passport the other day and came across my Provisional driving licence. Originally got it in the late-70's and remember pissing myself that it didn't expire until 2020. I never ended up learning to drive & now I am less than 2 years away from its expiry.

[sir roger]

Oh , and getting the piss ripped out of me by my daughter for saying that I had 'taped' something off tv for the wife.

Just looked at my driving licence the other day and its valid from 24-1-1986. Fuck me,I passed my test 32 years ago. I feel like Stringy's slightly younger brother.

Came out of the barbers this morning and bumped into an old drinking mate.

 

Have a quick pint and a catch up.

 

He’s a 15 year old daughter!!!

Has a bit of a personality disorder does he/her?

I'm not saying Stringy is old, but his driving instructor was a Mr J B Hur.

Baddiel and Skinner are advertising pensions.

Baddiel and Skinner are advertising pensions.

Very sensible too.

 

*This is another sign of getting old by actually noticing the product.

Baddiel and Skinner are advertising pensions.

And then discovering Frank Skinner’s eligible for a bus pass

[sir roger]

Baddiel and Skinner are advertising pensions.

 

To be fair they aren't advertising pensions , they are highlighting a free government service to get decent advice & hopefully avoid the sharks out there trying to fleece people.

 

I guess that pedantry pushes me into the category of the title.

I just looked him up on wiki, he's 61!! I thought he was only about late 40s.

How ironic that a government that fleeces people openly(especially the poor and weakest members of society) is offering advice against those who do it discreetly. They are also targeting their supposed demographic.

Having gastric events after eating certain foods or eating at certain times of day.

 

Years back I could have eaten Osama bin Laden's feet and been totally fine the next day. I had a small pizza about 10pm last night and now I'm in absolute bulk.

 

Was the same over Christmas too, too much greasy shit and my bowels turn into the M6 on Easter weekend.

If its just greasy foods my be a gallstone issue.

If real bad stomach pain starts its worth keeping a eye on

Remember those horrible years when we cared what people thought about us?  Yea, not one solitary fuck given these days.  My close family and I are all that matters.
