You know you’re old when.....

[Sir Shep]

It’s a Sunday evening, you realise you’re watching the antiques bloody roadshow and your better half turns round and asks how much her gold sovereign she has is worth. How did this happen? 

[jonthefox]

You know you're old when you feel shit on a sunday morning. Even though you stayed in on saturday. 

[stripeyfox]

...policemen look like school kids

 

... you say "ugh" and "oooh" every time you get up or sit down

 

 

[Izzy]

You know you're old when...

 

You don't understand Instagram

The first thing you look for in the morning are your slippers

You're constantly trimming your nose and ear hair

Songs on the radio from 2003 feel like they were in the charts last year

Fortnite used to mean two weeks

Posters on the 'who scored the first LCFC goal of your lifetime?' thread say Tony Cottee

Driving is becoming scary

You walk into a room and can't remember what you walked in there for

 

I could go on...

 

 

[Buce]

...you can remember when Izzy’s jokes were new.

When its sunday evening, you're watching the Goodwood Members Meeting on ITV4 (motor racing for the ignorant amongst you), and the best race is for 55 year old Minis - and you remember you had one as your first car - and still remember the reg. number. 8764JW, I still miss you buddy!

This happens to young people too  

[Strokes]

When you start to involuntary fart when you are bent down or at full stretch. Also they seem to change tone as you get older, like there is less resistance.

“Hello, Yes... dignitas please”

When filling out your date of birth online and you keep scrolling & scrolling & scrolling to find the year you were born!!

[The Syrup]

When you see adverts for funeral plans on TV featuring Michael Parkinson, and you think that sounds sensible. Free pens or alarm clocks an added bonus.

[VLC86]

When you are speaking to someone at work about the film Trainspotting to someone at work and they are too young to have heard of it.

[stripeyfox]

well you know what they say - getting old ain't great, but it is better than the alternative....

Seeing as I've not reached 'old' yet, the one that stands out to me is when people repeat the same story over and over again - if you do that, you're old; we've all heard it before, it probably never happened like that anyway

[Trav Le Bleu]

When you remember that there was a thread virtually identical to this a few years back.

Exactly we’ve got lads at work who haven’t seen Pulp Fiction because it was “before their time”

We can always rely on you to lower the tone of the thread. ?
