You know when you're getting old when.....

Sambostar

You start thinking youth is precious and lecturing them on the fact.  Arrrrgh.

You know you're getting old when you see a thread called "You know you're getting old when..." and you know it's going to ring true to your own experience before you've even read the OP.

When you can leave your teeth at the dentist, and collect them when they're fixed.......

cacophony

when you work with loads of hotties in their 20's, and one day, one of them says to you:-

"you know, i REALLY like you..."
aye aye, you think!, then she continues...
"yeah, you remind me of my dad..."

there, in one split second, you realise that it's over, your life has gone beyond the tipping point.

Or you reach the point where you're 'only' wanted for your money.... (And I'm skint!)

when you stop thinking in terms of romantic cliches you found in books & films like 'hold on to your dreams, it's only a matter of time' & 'there is someone for everyone' & start organising your life on the basis that you will probably spend most of the rest of your life alone & you need to start learning to be ok with that on some level.

You get served a beer in a jam jar, get rinsed for £6.50 for the privilege, and drink it anyway despite the fact that you. Do. Not. Get. Why. It is not in a proper glass. 

And you moan like fuck the whole time you're drinking it. And those clothes? What's he come as? And why am I sat on a recycled school chair with nails poking out of it? I'm sure this place used to be an ironmongers, it'd be more use to me if it was. 

And you don't realise you're doing it. You used to do it ironically when you were on the verge of realising that you preferred pubs with comfortable seats and no music, and you used to joke a bit about how you were getting old but now it's autopilot. 

That's when you know you're old. 

THIS ^^ was in London last year for our lass's birthday, went into a bar not far from Carnaby Street for a drink whilst waiting for a table at Flat Iron, they served me it in a fucking PAINT TIN !! its a paint tin FFS what exactly is wrong with just serving it in a glass?

Me too.That's the last time I'm ever going to get to sleep with a twenty one year old.


Though I must add,I still fancy the pants off my wife,even after twenty three years together.


Just needed to get that in,in case she ever sees this thread.

CHECK UP

 

An 86 year old man went to his Doctor for his quarterly check up.

The doctor asked him how he was feeling, the 86 year old said “things are great I have never felt better”. I have a 20 year old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that doc?

The doctor considered his question for a minute then began to tell a story.

“I have an old friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season”

One day, he was in a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun.

As he neared the lake, he come across a very large beaver sitting at the water’s edge.

He realised he had left his gun at home so he couldn’t shoot the magnificent creature.

Out of habit he raised his cane, took aim at the animal as if it was his favourite hunting rifle and went BANG BANG!!!

Miraculously, two shots rang out and the Beaver fell over dead.

Now what do you think that? Asked the doctor

The 86-year-old replied “logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a couple of rounds in to the beaver”

The doctor replied “my point exactly”
