Such wisdom in ones so young!

It took me until my 40s before the penny dropped and I realised the irrelevance of 'What is going on in the world'. I always knock off the radio now when the news comes on.

Having to shave between my eyebrows on a daily basis to avoid getting a mono brow.
And having to trim nose and ear hair twice weekly at this stage :eek:

When the greys start to appear downstairs :eek:

Hasn't happened yet but I've a fair few on top so I presume the inevitable isn't too far away

When you start pissing more and ejaculating less.

I said to a waitress in work on sunday 'he looks like rodney doesn't he', remarking on a tall and fair haired lad who works there
She replied 'who's rodney' to which I replied 'rodney from fools and horses'
'What's fools and horses' was her reply

A few years ago a young one in my brother's office asked him what he thought of One Direction. He asked her (not being sarcastic) if that was a new radio station :pac:

The first time the barber asks if you want your ear hair trimmed. That was a few years ago. More recently one barber asked if I wanted the mental bits of my eyebrows cut back. Said it like he was talking about a hedge.

Reading posts about feeling old written by people twenty years younger than me.

The realization most of my favourite games and a lot of other amazing stuff was produced by people of the age group I now look down on as immature.

When your old teachers insist that you call them by their first name if you happen to meet them.

.. then there was the time, when I still was within reach of Sunday Mass in the cathedral, that I realised that getting up from kneeling might need a crane...the get up and go in my knees had got up and went... only way else so inelegant I stayed kneeling until the cathedral had emptied.... getting anything out of the bottom cupboard always reminds me..

When your coming home late from work on a Friday and see the teenagers with bags of cans and realise its been near 20 years since you did the same

When you go to the doctor with an ailment and they tell you its 'wear and tear'.

Basically, 'this is your life now, you are partly broken'.

Going back and looking at say classic 80s actions movies and going on imdb to find out said actor was around my age or even younger. Makes me not only feel old but ive done nothing with my life.
