What things do you do unknownst to yourself that make you feel old?

AskMyChocolate

For me:

1) Nip up my pants (about mid-thigh) before I sit down, so the knees won't go out of them.

2) Tap the head of my cigarette (Major obviously) on the box before I light it.

3) Put my hand on my knee, and point my elbow out perpindicularly (All-Ireland position.:o), whenever I'm discussing something serious.

So AHers, any others?

Love when a trendy,hipster, Diesel-clad wimminz takes a tissue out of her sleeve.:pac:

Make that "ah jaysus" effort sound when I go to stand up. Same sound on last two steps of stairs.

Don't trust me farts.

I'm only 28 haha. I'm an old 28 though.

Sindri

Reading the paper on the jacks.

Blaming the youth for all the problems of the world.

Blaming foreigners.

Sitting quietly, for enjoyment, it's pleasurable (apparently).

Dying.

SheFiend

Tolerate large volumes of alcohol :-(

Do you die often?



The jacks is the best place to read the paper. I go there to read the paper and might not even fart in the 30-45 minutes I'm there for. That's how I roll.

That's after walking 14humdered miles with nothing on your feet but the dirt from the milking parlour. God be with the days. Young people these days have it so easy.
Sure didn't I go to castrate the bull when I was 4 and he kicked me bollox off, left him keep his. Can't be two unics walking the fields.

Hahaha I do that the odd time.
I mainly do it with the paper but I also shake the paper to get it into "standing" mode so I can read it properly.

I also noticed I'm starting to know more people in the death pages than in the court pages. Wtf like. I'm gonna have nobody to call if a group of Indians decide to attack my house and make my leg into the bottom of a totem pole

I also feel bad if a new user comes in here and gets slagged. Damn you empathy damn you to hell

Yup. Got called a pinko-liberal-black-loving-white-hating anti-establishment tree-hugging gaylord recently, just for wishing a (noobie) polite young lad well.

Exactly Sindri, they should be hit with a yard stick and courted by christian brothers like we were as kids. God be with the days when you used be able to do proper damage to a lad on the hurling pitch, now they're all gays with helmets. They need to bring back corporal punishment in my opinion. Ireland just isn't the same since the emergency.

ah sure we all started off in life knowing the ins and outs of everything. I started walking and never bothered with crawling. Pfft feck that.

mikemac1

Shake my head and tut tut to myself as I walk in the local town and see the footpath jammed outside the local school.
God forbid little Johnny and Mary should have to walk a little to get to school. These parents would drive into the classroom if they could

Why in my day we walked to primary school in all weathers. Ask the parents for a lift as it was raining and you'll get a sharp remark for your cheek.
Walked two miles to school every day, uphill both ways

My sleep pattern is 'old'.

I can't sleep past nine on a day off. Even if I head out, get hammered and don't get to sleep to six or seven, I'm up by one or two. I just can't sleep as long as you used to.

TeddyTedson

I suppose it's kind of a good thing that I can't think of anything...
I occasionally watch the news....

You watch the weather report
And your first comment to the taximan is grand weather, not so bad, not so bad

I sit in front of the telly and moan about every programme and every gob****e thats on it. Have the wife driven mad at this stage with my ranting about talent shows, reality shows, soaps, ads and don,t get me started on the shows that are about Jordan, Katona and that cack about shows where the spanners are supposed to be living real lives (Essex,Geordie,Tallifornia etc).

There were two girls on the luas beside me this morning having a chat in faux American accents.

"Like,... Oh my god, I just sooooo can't believe she, like, said that to you".

"I know like.... Does she not realise how, like, stressful it is to, you know, tag EVERYBODY in every picture on Facebook"

"I know right? It's just so, oh my god, so stressful to have to do that. She thinks she's like so, 'girl next door' but she soooooo isn't".

"I know right? She is such a bitch. Do you want to go and grab a coffee or, you know something else when we get off?"

I found myself wishing for simpler times when your only worry on the way to school on a Friday morning was if you'd get homework for the weekend and that you'd hopefully a bit of a shift after school.

School chat these days sounds so complicated.

I'll get worried when I move onto 'Jesus, Mary & Joseph'.

Adding "when I was your age" to a conversation.

Complaining about the crap music of today.

Listening to BBC Radio 2.

Complain about fast drivers.

Watching what I eat.

Watching what I drink.

Wearing glasses for reading.

Generally just complaining and watching.

Plazaman

Was genuinely thinking of buying Bovril the other day to make before I go to bed

A couple of nights last week I would have loved a hot water bottle too.....

dark crystal

Moaning about the music my teenage daughter listens to. I don't mean to sound like a fuddy duddy, but the chart music in the 80's was so much better (so I keep telling her).

This also applies to the music videos she watches. I find myself tut-tutting about the scantily clad likes of Rihanna and Lady GaGa, forgetting of course that I was a huge fan of Madonna back when I was her age

I listen to the wireless and read the broadsheets while eating my oven cooked porridge! I'm only 30!

Young ones today bitching about computer games

I remember SNES games costing fifty punts, not far off seventy euro.
A lot of money at the time

And you, yes you complaining about loading times on your playstation?
I remember tapes on the Commodore and it took ten minutes or so to load a game

BraziliaNZ

Stupid thread. Age is but a state of mind, it really annoys me when people go on about age. I don't really feel any different to when I was a teenager.

Aye, what we wouldn't have given to be terrorised by a bull!

We had to hide behind mushroom, and god knew whether it were poisonous or not.

We had to send someone out to lick it.
