Signs you're heading towards middle age...

Having loads of money but nothing to spend it on.

Remembering the day when you had no money and loads to spend it on. I find this particularly frustrating.

Wearing thermal undergarments.

Realising that your sex life is ruined not because you are incapable but because you really just can't be bothered anymore.

Never ending back pain.

Everyday Is Like Sunday. (thanks Morrissey)

That and couldn't care less about what everybody else seems to care about.

Being able to afford a tin of salmon :D

down side is as said having a pee that takes 5 min-- 2 min for main blast and three min waiting for the odd tea spoon when you don't expect it - carrying a pair of jeans and underpant's in car just in case -

Also a clean ltr plastic brown sauce bottle in boot for the can't wait moment. :eek:

Hmm, you're way beyond middle age :D

Wee'ing for me is dead easy although I have to get up around 5 times in the night which is a nuisance.

You could put that more a little more politely.

Back when mainstream music was peddled to the broader audience, the no1 national broadcaster duly obliged.

Radio 1 was there during the day, radio Luxemburg at night.... now there's a sign of middle age:)
 
Really being immune to what others think about you. I like most youngsters was always trying to live up to others expectations as a young man. Now I expect others to live up to mine. The best part of getting older is that you learn more. I have a thirst for anything epistemic, in particular the sciences. As a younger man these things seemed less appealing when weighed against the preparations for the weekend. Now though, a good documentary on a Friday night with a glass of wine, nirvana.

This is an interesting one. Part of that lack of interest is due to a natural decline in testosterone. But in my case due to testicular cancer in 2011 I'm on testosterone suppliments for life. It's certainly not as good as producing it naturally but at least I shouldn't decline any more :D
 
52 this year and i dont know where to start on the OPs question! lol

How old are you guys anyway?
 
LOL there's so much here that I am nodding and smiling at, it's a wonder I've not got a bad neck to go with my current bad back.

When your at the barber's and they ask if you want your eyebrows trimming :(

^This^ And that thing they do with the mirror to show you the ever growing bald spot on the back of your head. Just why does hair migrate from your head to you ears, nose and eyebrows??:)

Just turned 45, still do all nighters but am more inclined to watch films or read than play Battlefield like I did a few years back.

Had two heart attacks (at 42!)

I'll play top-trumps heart attacks. Started at 35 with a big-un and a triple bypass. Had two more since, even as I type I'm waiting on results to see if I'm going to need a ICD this year. (54) Getting a bit older has certainly made me not take my health for granted. At 18 you feel immortal, at the wrong side 50 you realise the clock is starting to tick a bit louder (or quieter, depending on how your hearings holding up..:))

Same here recorder is full of documentaries, wildlife and motoring. I've seen the day when if I wasn't "out" by 7:00pm it would have been a late start. Now I've reached the point that on the odd occasion I do go out, I'm back in by 10 ish.

My apologies, the radio 208 reference flew completely over my head. Been a while, from memory they ended their days on the satellite radio.

Another long wave station ensconced it's imprint on my brain in the 90's... the dreaded repeater of the same songs 10 times a day, 252:(
