Your priority when buying a car goes from "how fast can it go, and how cool does it look" to "what mileage does it do, and how easy is it to get in and out of"

Our office junior was 19 last week. She was born in January 2002. I had already sat my leaving, 4 year of university,J1, passed entrances exams and secured a training contract by then and just about to start my first proper job. Probably more likely to shag her mother.

In a few years I'll be on here longer sice before some lads were born.

When you see very common cars disappearing off the roads due to them being scrapped!

How about when your co-workers are technically young enough to be your kids. If you’d married young. Yikes.

When your boss is younger than your kids.

But mine lately is (blush) when you take Nurofean before sex so your hip doesnt hurt too much.

Clicking joints. The left side of my jaw, my right thumb, both elbows, my left knee and my right ankle all click, my ankle painfully so. My back also makes a weird clicking sound when I straighten my right leg from a bending position.

The clicking is so annoying. My right elbow and right hip keep clicking. I can't lift the heavy weights anymore.

Noticing I joined this site almost 20 years ago makes me feel old.

Even better, this decade and the next one will seem to pass far more quickly than previous decades.

I'm a few years past the midway point between 20 and 60. F*ck. Will I even make it to 60, I should but the risk of developing a fatal cancer will increase every year no matter what I do.

I think weight training is great for anyone who is feeling that life is short and flying by and who is freaking out about how little control we have over our lives. Muscle can be built and strength improved at any age and it is arguably safer for joints than running and all forms of exercise have mental health benefits. Another thing I'd recommend for men is ejaculating 1-2 times per day, every day, use it or lose it.

Just make sure you're socially distanced so other gym users don't get any unwanted jizz.

TBH it checks out. Good few single lads I know and gym and **** is probably all they do.

Myself and the missus were out shopping separately last week. We both arrived home at the same time and threw the spoils of our shopping on the table. We both had a big bag of tablets each.............and not the fun sort of tablets we used to take years ago. Ah, the joys of getting old.

I have an airfryer

When you have to actively do things to maintain your physical health. Walking, running, cycling, swimming, staying off the booze.

Fondly reminiscing about when you were in your 20's and felt fantastic despite doing none of the above.

I just had a colleague message me about an update I did for him, "Ted, that looks good, just one more thing ...."

I was tempted to reply with a Columbo reference, but feared it would have went over their head.

I had the day off work today and before I got out of the bed, I had 3 ****. Its so long ago since I had done it, it reminded me of when I was a kid again. God, it felt great to still be able to do it.

When you listen to people in their 20's and 30's giving advice to other and just think to yourself - Ah, youth. Little do they know.

When you have a whattsapp group that for the last 3 weeks has talked about nothing but how to get the grass growing well,even 5 years ago that would have been a different type of grass.

If I go more than a day or two with no fruit or veg I feel like sh*te.

Taking a serious interest in scented candles.

Getting annoyed if I forget to put a wash on.

Opening and feeling new bed linen before buying (at least, in the before times).

I’ve got a PC with a big load of memory and ripped pretty much everything to my PC.

I’ve decided courtesy of this thread to get a few more storage boxes and load them all up , going to put everything into storage....In my parents attic...CDs are taking up a LOT of room, I literally haven’t opened a cd case in 3 years... spotify and my pc have everything... place would look aesthetically better without just oceans of CDs

I just threw out about 500 CDs
Same thing. Havent opened one in many a year.
Just got the whole lot and threw them in the bin.
Made loads of space.
And that collection was so important to me 20 years ago

I used to go to my part time job on thursday evenings, hit the club that night and be up for a 9am lecture the next day.

Every. Week.

And be out all weekend too.

I actually feel ill thinking of it now.

You couldnt be bothered selling stuff. Too much effort

Hangovers.
They are just not worth it anymore.

Like seriously.

And i like Bingo.
Please god just kill me now.

Even the hot teachers at my son's primary school are too young for me.

When I bend down to tie my shoelaces I check to see if anything else needs to be done while I'm down there.

When you see a group of teenagers in the local village and realise they're the kids of the people you used to hang around the village with as a teenager. You think it's not that long since we used to roam the streets a teenagers but it was over 20 years ago!
