What's a good age to start wearing a vest? Asking for a friend.

Wear a full T shirt under an open neck shirt and call it fashion
That's what I do
The old style vests are a no no

Crikey I wear boxers and a T shirt in bed now after sleeping in my nude for over 35 years

Two day hangovers
I used to be able for 9-10 pints on a Friday-Saturday night and back out for a few the following day
Now its a 2 day hangover so have to limit the intake if I want a few the next day

Long gone are the days I would fall out of nightclub after 9-10 pints/shots and still tog out a few hours later for the local soccer team.

In fact many the time I went to the match in the same clothes having either fallen asleep at home or just got back in the time....:o

Now I have a woolly after 2 pints.

Many is the weekend over the summer I’ve woke up and thought, great - I’ll get the sheets on! Nice new linens tonight!!

I started to miss waking up hungover after Friday night pints - which I didn’t have as “I’m tired after work”.

God am old!!!

Over a 40 year period a well run pension will always show rises well above inflation once it’s properly funded of course

With government bonds sinking further into negative yield territory the bit about proper funding is the sticking point.

My most recent scheme gave me two options: Gamble on stocks or lose money.

Given what has happened to pensions in the last 2-3 decades most 20 year olds would be crazy to sign up to one voluntarily.

people should be doing that in their 20s
TBF most of those in their 20s have never considered a pension unless its compulsory

My older brother mentioned this on WhatsApp. You know you are getting old when you are pottering about the house and you look at the toilet door and go, might as well do a leak while I'm out here so I don't have to afterwards.

The wise man goes when he can, the foolish man waits until he needs to :P

Deliberately getting seated tickets for a gig even though there are standing tickets available.

Not balking at spending €30 on cheese from Avoca.

Daydreaming about walking you're daughter down the aisle (she is 2 ffs).

Deliberately going to a pub you know won't be busy or have music blaring.

Going to the off licence and never buying the cheapest cans they have for sale.

Going to a fancier restaurant and happily spending €200+ on food and wine.

Taking an active interest in how your pension is performing.

Being an old perv is good for you. Never give up - had the good fortune to have a relationship with a woman half my age - I'm in my 50s...It made me feel younger than I have for years - put a spring in my step and lead in my pencil.

My knees still sound like rustling crisp packets, but I care about that a lot less now..

Can identify with that. Had a relationship with a guy over 20 years younger than me. Thought it would make me feel sad and pathetic but I felt great. He was fun and lively, very attentive and loving, the sex was great.
(Damn trying to figure if I shouldn't have finished with him now)

At some point the people doing the things you want to do when you grow up become younger than you.

I find my self more and more frequently having to look up the meaning of words being used, particularly online, less so in real life -but that's probably just because in real life i'm usually talking to equally decrepit old farts and they don't know those words exist either!

I'll bet you've had to look up loads of words when you were young. The sign of gritting old would be if you didn't want to know what the new words mean. Disconnecting from the world as it changes is the real peril of getting old, not the fact that the world changes. Give yourself credit for keeping up with the world as it changes,.

When I am giving out to my kids I will often call them by the name of my younger sisters and as I have 4 sisters I will often reel all 4 names off before I eventually get to my child's name.

When you have a special stick for stirring paint.

ha Im laughing hrere as I only painted in the summer and came across a 1m long metal strip with holes in it perfect for stirring paint. So when the job was done I wiped it down and it went into storage with all the other painting gear so I now have my paint stirring stick for life

Now I never know which daughter is which for someone I know.
