I think it must have happened in an alternate universe. It was not that long ago in our years, it couldn’t have been, I was in the first year of my teenage years and haven’t got old yet…
I’ll know I’m getting old when I can’t flick my underpants off the end of my foot and catch them nine times out of ten. Note: I only do this once a day

You aren’t getting old if you only need to change once a day, 2-3 times a day is a good day !

When the TV advert for Tena for Men makes you look up from your iPad and you find yourself making a “Hmmmmmm” sound out of interest! 😳
I was talking to my S-I-L following a kids athletics meet - he helps out with some of the coaching.
We were discussing the stand out athlete and I blurted out that he reminded me of Alberto Juantorena. My S-I-L glazed over as he looked into the mid distance and I had a sudden crisis of confidence - had I just made that name up?
Anyway I rushed home to Google my own statement and was pleased to see that Alberto had won the 400 and 800 golds at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. In fact on watching the video I thought it was quite a good shout - tall, upright, long stride pattern etc.
The thing is if I can pluck that name out from 48 years ago - how comes I can't remember what I had for dinner last night?

He was the chap David Coleman said 'he opens his legs and shows his class'.

And you didn't have dinner last night.
I’m pretty sure that quote was in relation to a woman, perhaps an Irish lady ?

I’m pretty sure he said it about Alberto Juantorena!
I have no idea why I remember that, but then this the You Know When You’re Getting Old thread!

Trying to be useful (in my dotage) I have googled this and have found from a report in the Independent dated Sunday 26th July 1992.
DAVID COLEMAN never said, 'Juantorena opens his legs and shows his class,' any more than Queen Victoria said, 'We are not amused.' The words belong to the late Ron Pickering, but Private Eye got it wrong. The chances are that Coleman was not amused. A lot of people were, however. Who knows how much damage that one mis-attribution did, how much it contributed to the image crisis that Coleman has put up with for so many years?
I know there was a collection of of Coleman's misquotes called Colemanballs. I wonder if a few were added to that to fill out the narrative.
Taking some quite heavy stuff down to our local ‘dump’ recently, as I opened the doors to start to unload said heavy stuff, a kind, elderly white haired lady, came up to me and asked if I’d like help lifting it out of the car, and throwing it into the said refuse unit, I thought immediately of this thread,
Having a Covid jab and telling the nurse it was "the best jab since Sonny Liston", and getting a blank stare in return, followed by my wife saying "She's not as old as you, you eejit".
Blimey mate, the nurses' mum probably doesn't remember Sonny Liston
I was given the task of putting our 3 year old daughter to bed. She's going through one of those stages where she won't go to sleep unless you sit with her... anyways...
Put her in bed, kissed her goodnight and gave her a cuddle and then sat in the rocking chair in her room while I read her a bedtime story. Next thing I know, I jump out my skin because I've fallen asleep and she's got out of bed and literally screamed 'wake up Dad' at the top of her voice literally an inch from my ear.
What made it worse, my wife was just standing in the doorway of the bedroom, with a look of absolute disgust on her face.
I always find old peoples' intolerance to loud music really weird. As hearing usually degenerates with age, you'd think they'd appreciate a bit of volume.

sharing that your sister in law identifies as a man and making absolutely nothing of it is an incredibly modern take
