Title: You know you are getting old when...
Post by: CorkedHat on September 07, 2010, 12:32:41 PM
You know you are getting old when you see David Dimbleby on television and he looks older than you remember his dad, Richard.
You know you are getting old when one of your young Facebook friends asks you who The Beatles are? You know you are getting old when people say today is the 70th anniversary of the Blitz and you have to confess that you lived through it.
Bloody hell!

You know you are getting old when you start a sentence and ..........forget what it was you were going to write.

You know you are getting old when that bloke who was in the, oh the thing that was on last night,you know? He used to be married to that woman who you liked. You know? She was in that series with that dog with a limp. Anyway he died last week and you  thought he died years ago.

You know you are getting old when you want to spend a penny but decide to wait until there is something else you need to do on the way.

You know you are getting old when you look at the clock, think of what it is you need to do, and an hour has  passed when you decide to do it.

You know you are getting old when the highlight of your day is deciding what to watch on television.

You know you are getting old when you no longer watch soap operas because you know you will end before it does.

You know you are getting old when you remember the time Doctors and Policeman and Politicians were trusted.

You know you are getting old when you want to spend a penny. But have waited to long for something to do on the way.

When you say something to your teenager that was a carbon copy of what your parents said to you.

When you think that Elm and Eddie would be a great pairing against anyone except the Reading Reserves.

You see a mother and daughter and find the mother more attractive than the daughter.... I haven't yet got to the stage of grandmother and mother but I'm sure Corked Hat will enlighten us on that particular problem.

When you've just spent £38 on the internet on something called sport skins (the shorts)  in the hope you might still be able to play football. Never heard of them till a couple of hours ago, but  told one of my mates i've decided to play tonight and he told me about these skin things. If they're any good i'm going to get the tee shirt version.

How about when you get off the train, hoist your rucksack onto your back, bend down to pick up the tent and a member of the platform staff asks you if you need any help.

She meant well, but it was a crushing moment, I can tell you.

Still, as I always say, there is only one thing worse than getting old, and that is not getting old.

Fred, these are also called 'compression' pants, shorts, socks. They are used for recovery after a hard workout. I use them for cycling but never considered using them for while I was riding. They don't hide much so....be careful.  :dft012:

I do more than this on two continents. After three three-generation Major League baseball families in my lifetime, I now have three generations of Hateley's I've seen play football in the UK.

Hey, at least you're out there having a go. After the game is the time to wear the skin suits. It is supposed to accelerate recovery and healing. I found they to help.

some say only for an hour afterwards, however I tend to wear them much longer and after a really hard ride, where my legs feel like rubber afterwards I may wear them to sleep. The whole idea is to keep the muscles close, rather than hanging as they do away from the body, this allows more blood to flow through the muscle tissue which promotes healing.

When you cant be bothered to argue back.

When you need help to change your incontinence pants

When your eyes can do more than your old chap can

When you simply can not read without your glasses

When you have to take half a viagra tablet every night to stop you falling out of bed.

Old Penis Poem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My nookie days are over
My pilot light is out
What used to be my sex appeal
Is now my water spout.

Time was when, on its own accord
From my trousers it would spring
But now I've got a full-time job
To find the blasted thing.

It used to be embarrassing
The way it would behave
For every single morning
It would stand and watch me shave.

Now as old age approaches
It sure gives me the blues
To see it hang its little head
And watch me tie my shoes.
