    I know they say it about guards, but primary teachers look ridiculously young.
    definitely true for guards. I was stopped at one of those covid checkpoints who i doubt was even born when i bought my first home.

    You opt to open the gate rather than climb over it.

    When you see an attractive woman, instead of first looking at her chest you look at her wedding finger.

    You cant cough without a little bit of wee coming out.
    You have to mentally prepare to get up off the couch.
    Just being tired for no reason.
    3 week hangovers.

    When you see a young women out with no coat. She will catch her death.

    Jesus kill me now

    When you realise that you fall into one of the categories recommended to get the flu vaccine.

    When you have to be careful sitting down in case you sit on your own nuts. A quick repositioning is required, especially if wearing tracksuit bottoms.

    When you're in the gym with your 15 year old son and he can beat you in a weight lifting challenge, do more press ups than you and can do more sit ups.

    You now consider corduroy acceptable material for clothing.

    You don't care anymore if you show a builders crack when bending over.

    You start saying things your parents used to say,
    be home before 11pm, you cant go out dressed like that.
    you develop an interest in gardening .
    You look for 2 for 1 deals in tesco or your local supermarket or start collect ing shopping coupon s from newspapers .
    your friends older children are now getting married .
    your children are old enough to be thinking about leaving home .
    i do not know what a skin fade is.

    i thought a fade was a style of haircut .
    fashion looks strange to you.
    Why are young men going out in december wearing shorts and sneakers with no socks .
    do they think they live in america.
    Are they not cold ?
    you just buy cloth,s that are cheap and comfortable and warm.
    no point in trying to look cool when you are over 30.

    I see this a lot, are they coming from or going to football training?:confused: They must be freezing.

    is it something to do with that paul meskel guy? there is a tesco advert on at the moment, a guy wearing GAA shorts and a gold chain.

    I don't think there's much football training going
    on in December in a pandemic
    I don't understand people wearing trainers with no socks even in the summer
    I don't think it's anything to do with sport
    I think it's a fashion choice

    when your 17 year old asks you to buy tickets for longitude, and you think to yourself hey, i could go too.

    her and her friends immediately see what you're thinking and start jabbering on about how you wouldn't like it, etc etc.

    then you look at the line up

    and you realise, no - not for you old man.

    edit : but then you realise you still have tickets to the Killers in Malahide, and a room booked in Malahide Castle hotel! You still got it, you can rock it out there!

    edit 1.5 : but because you've a room booked in the Malahide castle hotel, maybe that does mean you're old.

    edit 2 : and then you remember that child no. 2 is doing his junior cert, and your wife is saying that there's no way we could go in the middle of the junior cert.

    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.

    You look forward to doing absolutely nothing for the weekend except relaxing, as you are bollixed come Friday and snoozing on the couch by 8pm.

    You still "Tape" TV shows to watch later on the sky box, the kids have no idea what a tape or dvd is.
