Getting Old

Volvoboy

Another year has come and went for me, ya look back and ya seen all ya done in the year gone by, all the good and the bad.

Lessons were learned, mistakes made. Life goes on. I'll still go out and get lacked once a week, still work away, still do my own thing, untill next year when i look back on the year gone by and wonder where it all went.

VB is 8395 days old today. :eek:

Only another 15,330 days to go until you get your free bus pass. Man, you are SERIOUSLY old. I hope you have health insurance & a good pension policy.

While reading this post, all I could imagine was Mike Skinner walking down a rainy street with his hands in his pockets, occasionally scratching his stubble.

I iz 23 too, we are so old! I had a hurty knee earlier when I was jumping about on some steps, I blame the old age.

Oh, this fits here, Yes, I think I am getting old. I am 20 but I feel 25. I blame my friends and their total non-interest in clubbing and only liking quiet pints now.

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

You know you`re getting old when your favourite pornstar is now described as a milf...

You should be old enough to realise there are 365.25 days in a year, so you are older than you thought. Either that, or your 23rd birthday is next Monday.

Is 18101 days old today.

I'm the opposite, i'm 24 and feel 20.

Yes we all get old, let me know when you find the fountain of youth.

We don't all get old. There are some Elderly people who I would describe as young.

But we do all die. That is the fountain of youth I think, knowing you WILL die, so live like you mean to die tomorrow!

antodeco

Whats more depressing is that people who were born in the 90's can legally drink

I remember the whole Oasis/Blur fight off like it was a few weeks ago! Was 14 years ago

You really know you're getting old when you stop getting followed around shopping centres by security guards and instead followed around by people offering you "cream to stop the ageing process".

Damn Dead Sea products and the likes!!!

Your my birthday twin.

I've been milking the birthday thing for two weeks already, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.
That has obliterated any regrets about being even more decrepit.

you're getting old when you consider using Just for Men on your pubes.

You are old if any of this applies to you..

When you score with a chick in a disco bar
Take her home in your hairy little car
Then you find you went to school with her Ma and Pa
You're the oldest swinger in town

When you won't look in a mirror in the light of day
Swear you dyed it when your hair turns grey
When you zip up your Wranglers and your belly's in the way
You're the oldest swinger in town

Here you come and there you go
Wire wheel-spokes and a stereo
But the engine's clapped, and the driver also
Is the oldest swinger in town

When your barber takes a little less time each week
The kids don't understand a word you speak
When you walk into a disco and they offer you a seat
You're the oldest swinger in town

You prefer a pint of mild to Bacardi and coke
The songs are too loud and there's too much smoke
You'd like another dance but you're scared you'll have a stroke
You're the oldest swinger in town

Here you come with your chest all bare
A little gold ingot and a lot of gold hair
Like the disco king meets Yogi Bear
You're the oldest swinger in town

When you're feeling as stiff as a skinhead's boot
Rub on Vick where you used to splash Brut
And the latest punk fashion is your wedding suit
You're the oldest swinger in town

When you have to go shopping for your sex appeal
Travolta shades and nine-inch heels
You say a man is just as old as the woman he feels
You're the oldest swinger in town

Here you come with your lips closed tight
You never smile, you know it wouldn't look right
'Cause your dentures glow in ultra-violet light
You're the oldest swinger in town

And you look so mean 'cause your pants are too tight
You're the oldest swinger in town

And it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night
You're the oldest swinger in town

Im 32 on the 17th and I feel every bit of it.

But then I am happy and reasonably healthy as are the people close to me and that is all that really matters in the end.

You're 23 for christ's sake, you're still a baby! The sh*t is starting to hit the fan for me now though, 29, all friends getting married, me having just broke up with someone, thoughts of a lonely future or settling for someone i don't particularly like...

So I got a motorbike last week and now I'm driving the sh*t out of it!

"I feel so old."

You are in your early 20's. Stop being so melodramatic for f*ck's sake. Go out and make some mistakes, enjoy things while you don't have any responsibilities.

Live and act your age instead of moaning and pretending you're old for ****'s sake.

Past it tbh.

My name is URL

I forget what I came in for

Captain Havoc

I was 29 there a week and a half ago (is it me or is there a lot of us and my friends born around this time, were our parents too skint after Christmas for anything else?) decided not to do anything for it, didn't tell anyone just went to the pub. At 23 you should be out doing **** as opposed to moping about getting old, I mean you should have another 50-60 years ahead of you.
I think it's also something about single guys my age, I've gotten big into cycling this year and I know other guys running and doing other active sports. Definately need anything to get the upper hand down the disco now.

What do you "feel" when you're 32? Rheumatoid arthritis? Difficulty climbing the stairs? :pac:

The "I must act like I'm ancient" disease really does seem prevalent on Boards.

5 back operations so a very dodgy spine.
Broke both legs so they hurt when it is cold.
Broke right arm so sore when its cold.

So yes, difficulty climbing the stairs. AND, i like to sit by the fire wearing my slippers talking to the dog about how it was when I were a lad.

General Zod

2 day hangovers.

I've recently woken up and realised I have to face up to living the rest of my life as an adult.

Age didn't do that to you - being really ****ing accident-prone did. :eek:

Signs you're not 18 any more....

You start reading the paper
You carry an umbrella when it's raining
You check the weather forecast
The music is too loud in pubs
You start going for meals out
You drink wine
You have health insurance
If a bouncer asks you for ID you smile as you no longer give a sh!t
A 2 week booze up in Gran Canaria no longer appeals
All those Jean Claude Van Damme films are actually sh!t
You care about getting sunburned
The behaviour of 'youths' these days concerns you
You try not to have too much saturated fat in your diet
Some school subjects are actually interesting now

Even as a kid I loved going to restaurants for meals.

And I ALWAYS cared about getting sunburned, hence I look way younger than my age now :P All those red-faced eejits are paying for it now with early wrinkles and sun spots. It takes no time at all to put on some sun cream.

I'm 48 btw and looking forward to a massive party when I am 50. Age is a state of mind. Things I've noticed in the last few years, my eyesight is deteriorating to such an extent that I have to wear reading glasses, I now like Sinatra and some classical music, I think the X-factor is a load of ****e, hangovers are serious especially if I go beyond the 5th pint. So OP your 23, enjoy it, see the world while you still can and not rely on the 2 week holiday every year that you have when your 48, life is short make the most of it.
