You know you’re getting old when…

Friends (!) or relatives start conversations with " you know who died ?"

When your ears don't match with the rest of your head anymore.

You are now a pervert for looking at anyone of the opposite sex.

Random snoozes.

Groaning when getting out of a chair.

Tying shoelaces is a chore.

Realising when someone dies they weren't that much older than you are now.

She's 80 😯 this year, I'll be glad (I hope) just to be still alive by that stage

And wha about that dress ! 😯

When you have to go to the local nail bar to have your toe nails chopped by a 18 year old Thai ladyboy!!

you don't remember there was already a thread for…

When you absolutely love threads like this !

It takes you all night to do what you used to do all night.

You need a pillow between your legs at night to sleep.

When you remember the old timers saying -

"live as long as you can and die when you can't help it"

And it's started to make sense ....

You watch top of the pops on BBC 4 tv and you remember all the acts .You remember when you could buy a ticket to any gig for 20 pounds before the euro was invented . I watch old episodes of SNL rock groups used to have a saxophone player . You no longer even try to keep up with new music .You are happy to buy all your clothes in a charity shop . You wear the same clothes you wore 10 years ago .no point in trying to keep up with fashion . Your favourite singers are all retired or on one final tour . You have a box full of old power supply,s that will never be used again . You go to more funerals than weddings . Your friends children are now having kids . You have an old crt or vhs recorder in the garage

No one wants .you have old VHS films that are basically worthless. When you went to school there were nuns or Christian brothers there not just professional teachers . I don't think there's any nuns left in Ireland who are not retired

Ypu look forward to staying in and watching the late late show ,you watch nationwide on rte tv.You remember when pat Kenny was almost cool and young. You listen to rte radio . Black is white ,white is black.when you where young only children wore shorts.You watched the first episode of glenroe. You saw the first performance of riverdance on tv. You listen to radio Luxembourg. You remember when there was just itv BBC c4 and rte on tv.You had a uhf/vhf tv.the only mobile device was the Sony walkman/radio Rte stop broadcasting at midnight.

You need one laf on the estate everyone calls him if something go wrong with the family PC laptop. You remember when everyone smoked on tv dramas .People smoked everwhere pubs cafes offices cinemas . Old men used to smoke pipes and wear a hat .

You mention in passing that you have a Boards account and absolutely nobody has any idea what you're talking about

You buy Ireland's Own magazine

Ah here. I see that at the checkout in Dunnes and can't figure out who in their target audience is not already in a nursing home
