Also was watching Terminator 2 recently - from the bar scene, the actor that played the main biker (You forgot to say please) and the bartender (Can't let you take the man's wheels son) are both dead for around 20 years.

Terminator 2 is actually 30 years old this year. :eek:

My Daughter got a brand new hybrid car...so I'm out with her doing the " oh yeah its fantastic" test drive..... BLUE MONDAY by new order comes on the radio.....I casually say " gee, I got that 12inch record in the attic somewhere" , then the dj says " first released in 1983"........1983???? can clearly remember blowing pocket money on that & playing it over & over!!!!! I'm definitely " over the hill"

I used to go to bed with the reasonable expectation that any aches and pains would be better in the morning.

Now I go to bed and expect to wake up with pain I didn't have the night before.

Listening to people in their early 20s talking sh!te and not being able to get your head around it that they are not in fact 12 year olds.

My 12 year old son actually sounds more mature

When you don't wake up every single morning with 6-8 inches of raging blue steel in your cacks that could pulverise reinforced concrete.

That could pull a T-Rex out of quicksand:D

When you can only be bothered checking on AH once in a blue moon instead of checking it every time you're on boards.

Even Frasier would be too much, these days, with Bulldog's behaviour.

There's an hour of Frasier every weekday morning on C4.

To those posters a bit back that feel physically old at 33 -

I was the fittest I've ever been in my life at 45.
Still in reasonable shape @51 but there's a lot of wear and tear, now.
You should have years!

Know what you mean

When you prefer to be at home more.. 10 yrs ago I would always have preferred to be out of the house.. whether it was at night and/or stay over at a mates or what ever..

In the last 5 yrs or know i have noticed that I prefer to come home after events rather than go to the pub or what ever (park covid for a while here)..

I prefer to pay for a taxi home rather than stay in a mates (no matter the cost)..

This makes me feel kinda sad and boring but its what I prefer.. love my home comforts..

Definitely a sign for me that I am getting on.. and only 41.5

Was drinking wine earlier. Had a shot of whiskey in between. Absolutely fecked now.

Went through my phone contact list the other day for the first time in actual years. There were names of people in there that I genuinely have no idea who they are. Also a few contacts who aren't even alive including family members and close friends.

I still do but that is only stopping my body from wetting myself during the night. Then trying to get it to go down so I can relieve myself.

Takes some amount of mental concentration.

I sneezed getting into my car 2 weeks ago
Have to get physio on my back now:(:(:(

As the old saying goes, never mix the grain and the grape.

My OH was showing me an Instagram video of a Rolo cheesecake. Years ago I would have thought that it looked amazing but now I think to myself "This thing would put you on the road to Type 2 Diabetes"

Also when I was a kid I always thought Snap, Crackle and Pop was associated with Rice Krispies. Now I associate it with joint crepitus.

You’re telling a funny story at a family gathering that isn’t getting the attention it clearly deserves, belatedly realize you’ve told it before to them more than once, and press on regardless.

When I do that, the family all say ‘during the war’

Lillian Thuram's son is in the French squad at the Euros and Enrico Chiesa's son is in the Italian squad.

And in your head you think it was 'not that long ago' when you can remember Luis Enrique, Roberto Mancini and Gareth Southgate playing!

Sure Luis Enrique played against Ireland at the 2002 WC and that was only a few years ago...no wait...

Yeah I remember I did that exact thing when England were in the Rugby WC final 2019. I said 'ah sure England won it a few years ago.'

When do you think that was?

Me: 2003?

How long ago was that?

Me: Jayus...

v sad discovery but a sure sign of ageing

I can no longer remember all the women (one night stands) I slept with over the decades. Married 11 years now and all those women are fading into memory and the ones I can remember I cannot recall their names.

pgj2015 · 05-07-2021 06:19PM

These days I prefer to buy a plain black/grey t shirt over one of say the wu tang clan or some film I like.
