Officially old

[bainbridge]

Just increased the font size on my phone as I can no longer make do reading it without glasses when out and about.

What things have other forum members had to do that make them feel old?

Just about everything makes me feel old but the best line came from the granddaughter.

"Grandad your old but nanny's a dinosaur "

That reminds me of something I heard:

Grandson: Grandma, what is that behind the TV?

Grandma: That's the TV.

Normally being happy to be in bed by about 10PM these days.

Going for a pee - There is so much undergrowth and it's now a very small dwarf I struggle to find it. - That's the best thing that is old -you don't want to know what the the rest are.

Don't pee on dwarves in the garden!

They're a delicacy.

Got prescribed reading glasses in addition to my normal ones.

Next time I'm going to try for some cheap varifocals as I only really need them for reading tiny print and doing things like soldering (realising that I couldn't couldn't make out where the solder was easily was my clue).

I think, just generally more little pains and twinges.

I just kind of feel like my body is getting tired of life

Time for handlebar moustache for idle twirling whilst bored?

My son quite recently told me that when he was younger, he thought the world used to be in black and white in the 'olden times'.

For me, I'd say:

• Scrolling down for flipping ages when choosing my birth year on websites.
• Ear / Nostril hair growth (nobody warned me about this!)
• Graduates who were born in a different millennium to me (after I graduated in some cases).
• Footballers retiring whom I regard as 'new' young prodigies (Rooney etc)
• Finding out that fresh young trendy radio presenters now have a daytime show on Radio 2.
• Being older than the majority of work peers, for quite a while I was the 'young protege'
• Hearing younger people talk about the absolute madness of 4% interest rates and how they HAVE to come back down... scratch that just stated with absolute confidence that they WOULD definitely fall soon (before they rose still further).
• Wine being my primary alcoholic drink

Top tip listen to Radio X and its like time never happend, its brilliant much happier & nicer place with people that actually have a IQ.

 

[something daft already!!]

You're only as old as the woman you feel. My woman is a couple of years older than me though.

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

My back in the morning is a constant reminder that time is marching on, leaving me to hobble downstairs and turn the kettle on.

Normally fine after a cuppa though, so not so bad I guess.

 

[Scougar]

Yup..right there with you.

 

[throwaway4372]

Young people make me feel old. Coz now I'm the one thinking all young ppl seem like morons.

 

[Diddums]

Hahaha old farts

 

[alchal]

Ear/nose hair and getting up of the floor...it's not a straight up bounce anymore.

You just wait. It'll be your time soon enough.

And we'll all laugh at you. After our naps.
