The official "You know you're getting older when..." thread

[cmg]

You'r in the Fulham line up.

Now that made me laugh.

But it's really only true of the season before. Or did the season just gone slip your mind? Not that that'd make you old - merely a good judge.

Last night, my missus said to me, "Come upstairs and make mad, passionate love to me!"

I replied, "At my age, love, it's one or the other."

So which was it? Mad or passionate?  :005:

You know you're getting older when...

You (well, me) have a couple of pints in the City last night, have a quick pee before going home, and then have to stop off at Wimbledon and Surbiton for further pees...

I used to be a camel in my yoof and store beer in my body. Now it just seeps out  :012:

Same problem and its really put me off going out on the beer plus the fact that I'll be up and down for half the night when I get home.  Going out for a drink now more often than not means going to a wine bar rather than downing pints in a pub.  Not the same, but there we are.

Seeing a pretty thing in the street and not noticing her pretty daughter and grandkids in tow.

New additions to your CD collection never being less than 20 years out of fashion.

Starting to pay attention to Michael Parkinson adverts and considering the lure of a pen.

When you meet an attractive 65 year old and she says....
"Would you like a mother and daughter"

When you get to her house she shouts upstairs.
"Mum, can you come downstairs please"

when it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night.

I'm only 44, so I don't consider myself to be old.  But then this happens...

We are all sitting around work talking one day.  There is a new girl sitting directly opposite me and she is drop-dead gorgeous!!  I mean the kind of girl you do a double-take and say, "Wow".

So we're all talking and somehow the events of 9-11 come up and her first words were, "I can't imagine what that was like..... I don't remember it, cuz I was in kindergarten."

I laughed thinking she had to be joking.... but she went on to let us all know that she was only 20 years old.  Born in 1995 and was 6 years old when it happened.

Man, that was hard to swallow.

 You take up playing Bowls. What worries me, is the flag at the bowls club is always at half mast.

Last week me and the other half stopped and watched bowls on our local green and I came away thinking I might give it a go. 092.gif

I won't say I'm old but I have more doctors than friends.

You really must not worry about getting old, remember there is only one alternative.

What the heck's a CD collection?

Having to lean on a chair or the bed in the morning to help get your underpants on
Then having to sit down to put your socks on!

When you don't wake up in the morning you come round...slowly

When you start groaning when sitting down.

[Holders]

When you bend down to pick something up and think "is there anything else I need to do while I'm here?".

When you phone your mobile because you've lost it and it's in your back pocket.

When you get one of those high-speed stairlifts that get you there before you forget what you wanted.

[epsomraver]

When you see old  cars being done up on the TV and think " I had one of them" !

[FFCpmd]

When you're on the stairs and you stop to do up your shoelace, and when you have you can't remember whether you were going up, or coming down.
