Signs that you're getting old

When you piss up against a wall and the pressure just isnt there anymore to piss upwards more than a few inches.
Back in my youth we used to have competitions where last place would be about 6ft high on the wall.

Would you believe that when I was about 10 years of age my mate and myself each got a signed poster of this attractive young lady? I sh*t you not.

...her name is Sandy.

Do you know where she lives, I would like to get in touch with her:rolleyes:

Likewise when your cum shots only reach your bellybutton instead of the headboard.

Thanks for that, definitely brought it back to me. What was the ad for the video cassettes with the skeleton? Toshiba?

Edit: Looks like I was mixing up the Toshiba and Scotch video tapes ad.

Knowing about TV ads is in itself a sign of age. My kids literally don't understand that on live, linear TV, you have to wait for three minutes before the show comes back on.

Not sure whether it's getting old or just confirmation of middle-aged excellence (ahem), but I keep a marker near the fridge and when I open stuff like a jar of olives, I write the date of opening on the top. Othwerwise I'd forget and instructions like 'Consume within 6 weeks' would be meaningless.

LOL. That is a sign that you have given up on your life and are now realizing you need to getting ready for the last part of it.

This. When my 4 year old watches something on YouTube she can skip the adverts, for the most part. When we go to Granny and Grandad she doesn't understand why she can't skip the adverts. I've tried to explain but it's a tough concept for her to grasp. I'm 44 btw.

JimmyVik · 10-06-2021 9:02am

You give the Playstation controller to your 7 year old to help you when you get stuck.

riclad · 10-06-2021 3:03pm

You watch ads on tv, you watch rte TV news at 6pm
Gen z gets news from online sources,
You don't understand the latest memes. The shows you used to watch are being rebooted
. You can remember a time when MySpace or Bebo was the hot social media website
You downloaded songs on napster
You had a cd Walkman or a original Walkman
You have a box full of old albums on cassette
you can remember a time when only tech nerds used the internet
You remember the ps1 or the snes console
You remember the late late show with gay byrne

Was in the pub earlier, surrounded (2m away) by people that were loud, smoking, and young. Can yous not be quiet and smoke over there and put on some clothes? My first re-opening old man moment

Edit: also the fact this was posted before 10pm and im back home

JupiterKid · 10-06-2021 10:10pm

When the nephew you held in your arms as a newborn baby in 2001 is now finishing his second year in university.

I listen to Ronan Collins 12-1 show on RADIO 1 every day. It’s one of the very few shows on Irish mainstream media that plays oldies tunes like stuff from The Eagles, Elvis, Roxy Music, etc. All other mainstream stations are obsessed with EDM or alternative $hite. Whatever happened to good auld rock ‘n roll? RTE Gold is my normal go-to station for music most days.

I enjoy watching the odd episode of Nationwide.

I don’t do impulsive buying while shopping anymore, every penny counts.

My hair is thinning.

I’m 37, going on 60.

Try John Creedon on RTE Radio 1 in the evenings. You'll never look back.

riclad · 11-06-2021 12:17am

When you watch programs on rte 1 that are not comedys drama, s or reality TV or sport.
When you develop an interest in gardening or local politics
When you are happy to chat about what's the best pension funds investments or mortgage
when you go to a supermarket and buy a few items just cos it's 50 per cent off or 2 for one
When you can't stand to spin 1038 fm as all the songs sound the same

Leg End Reject · 11-06-2021 12:21am

When you wish you were the tin man in The Wizard of Oz and someone was there with the oil can to loosen your joints on a cold morning.

For men, the genital profile reverses. The dick used to hang lower than the scrotum, in time the balls will droop to a lower level.
Also us poor men seem to spender longer on the toilet seat and less time in the barbers seat year on year.

I fondly look back when my dick could easily hold a wet duffel coat...Good Times..

When you look at 'Trending' videos on Youtube, then click out of it with sense of bewilderment not have a clue what any of this stuff is supposed to mean.

Ah now - 30 is still young.

Wait ‘till you’re 46, like me....

I can still move pretty quickly but it might involve joint pain or dizziness!

riclad · 12-06-2021 2:17pm

When you go on tik Tok it seems to consist of young people doing stupid pointless things
Although it seems its now cool for men to dance as well as women
I have not seen one entertaining Irish video on tik tok

Thelonious Monk · 12-06-2021 2:43pm

When you still don't really know what Tik Tok is. Is it just videos? Is it like Facebook?

That doesn't mean anything to me. I never used Bebo, MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or anything else that I'm too uncool to know about. I did have an audiogalaxy account once.
I only signed up for boards after nearly 2 years of lurking because I thought it was going to stay small.

Mister Vain · 12-06-2021 3:27pm

Audiogalaxy. That takes me back.
