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

[Fugitive]

Getting angry with Kids who were outside the shop doing Penny for the Guy for showing any initiative.

 

They have been there for a week and I ended up passing on my vast knowledge about the subject. Door to door and outside betting shops and pubs get the results. I also gave them a Simon Cowell evaluation of their Guy.

 

They are lazy bastards and need to start being a bit more pro-active in their approach to Penny for the Guy.

[hamstrung]

Yadda yadda. Sorted the hairs out. And it only burned a bit for a day or so.

 

Sorry?

 

You'll have to speak up a bit

I hear that, I also get 'irked' by teenage lads acting soft in bars.

I'm seriously considering the purchase of a hat to keep my head warm.

[Guest The Big Green Bastard]

when you explain to the missus that you're a 70's man at heart and would prefer a little bit of hair down there.

I bought a hat, gloves and long johns from M&S today.

 

Nowt wrong with being warm.

You make posts about young people having no respect and the country going to the dogs.

going "ahhhh" when I drink tea.

Speaking to people who were born in years I remember ie 1990

 

Hi, I'm Mick.

Hi, I'm Mick.

 

I pity anyone who doesn't remember the retro A-team and Equalizer-inspired neon of the 80s.

 

Incidentally, the 1990 new year was ushered in on the BBC by the bloke who played Taggart.

 

Anyone remember Clive James' new year shows? Fantastic they were.

Celebrities ring you up to tell you they've shagged your granddaughter.

When you've turned into that old bollocks in the corner of the local nightclub that you used to laugh at "sad old ball bag".:(

Went to the doctors before and I'm pretty certain he's younger than me, a disturbing turn of events to be sure, doesn't it take about 50 years to become a GP?

When you wear several coats/jackets... at 16 i never wore one, so why do i need to wear more then one now? last few days, cardigan, fleece and a coat have been the norm. I was camping on saturday and managed with just one coat layer... grrr...

 

Oh and not having it in me to make a 2½ hour journey with out stopping twice to sleep.... ok, the said journey with snow resulted in a 5 hour journey....

 

there you have it, the winning line, moaning at snow, i'm old.

When your ideal pub is a quiet one with fine ales, roast dinners and a fire in the winter. And knowing that the fit 18 year old student bar maid is just humouring you.

It's worse when the fit 30 year old barmaid is just humouring you!

Moaning about the 'youth of today'.

 

Not knowing any of the characters in 'Neighbours'.

Toadie and Karl and Susan Kennedy are still in it though!

[Guest Porroh]

Youngish girls calling you "love".

 

When you get called "fella" or "man" instead of "lad"

[Section_31]

When the people on TV and in films are supposed to be younger than me. Watching Terminator 2 again last night and Sarah Connor is supposed to be 29 like me. Nasty shit.

I am having a mid-life crisis. It got worse yesterday when I saw a photo of myself and there was a bald patch. A very disappointing Friar Tuck-esque bald patch.

 

My six year old daughter patted it (a la Benny Hill) and it made a resounding slapping noise.

Women are being employed at your office half your age. And you still think you have a chance. Oh man.
