    When you constantly get told to try just for men or cherry blossom.

    I'm going to a Halloween party at the weekend. I felt really old when I finally had to admit that my body shape was no longer suitable to go as Nosferatu. And even older when I told my wife I might go as Uncle Fester to which she replied, "oh yes, that's much more you"!

    And me. I also dread weddings.

    My friend hosted a 70’s party last weekend. Everyone dressed up like Noddy Holder and John Travolta. It started early and went on until late. The music was too loud.. Thankfully, they had a quiet room

    In my mind I'm 'only 53' but sadly the mileage is very high, this year as the temperature has dropped my hip has got bloody achey.

    I would much prefer a late start and early finish!

    When you mates invite you down the pub, you question the 10 min walk there and back, and decide you can’t be bothered

    I went to my last one 6 years ago.

    I don't mind the actual ceremony, but I detest the waste of money that is the reception (even as a guest).

    I love a party, but I've never been a fan of weddings. All those people that don't know each other - and all those people that do. Middle of the road boredom. 
    Agreed, I didn't even want to go to my own wedding  :D
    yup and spending all that time with your wife's family, again...

    Me too.  And I'm a wedding photographer :)
    Oi!!, take this to the marketplace.  ;)

    lots of wedding talk. Surely a sign of getting old is going to more funerals than weddings?

    The upside is that funeral spreads are as good as wedding spreads but you don't have to listen to a loud disco...

    Same, seriously debating going to mine next year. Lockdown has already intervened once, I need it to happen again.

    And you also don’t have to see the person again. It’s a win win situation.

    When you sign up to sun life just to get a free pen and then get angry that you can’t have one because you aren’t over 50.

    Qualifying for Saga insurance (I just did) couldn’t get a cheaper second car on it though as the wife had to be over 45 - she’s living this as you can imagine

    More and more things require ’a sit down’ afterwards.

    Even after things that were done while sitting (ie. driving)

    You are Ghibelline thinking about buying a pair of reading glasses that you can hang around your neck on a chain.
    I don’t understand the use of Ghibelline in your post.

    1. a member of one of the two great political factions in Italian medieval politics, traditionally supporting the Holy Roman emperor against the Pope and his supporters, the Guelphs.
