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.
It's not so much the volume of the music, just how shit the music is.

This may well belong in the things that annoy me thread but I believe only older people actually have ever really experienced real Hi-Fi. Its the clarity that gets me. People, (especially those younger types), nowadays genuinely think listening to Spotify, (mp3 streams), through a Bose, Sonos, Apple, B&W or any other one box system counts as quality. Great for the kitchen or garden but not so good for the older gentleman's living room.
Took our daughter to a water park in Portugal today and I wasn’t able to go on a slide where you sit on a sled type thing, that shoots you across the water at the bottom. I’ve been suffering with my flexibility recently (I think it’s the beginning of arthritis) and I couldn’t bend my legs enough to keep them inside the sled.
Went on everything else but now feel like I’ve gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

At least you fitted the slide. I've sat on slides I don't fit in the past.

Old fart
Seriously though - Lady Flash got me to order a skip - spent yesterday cutting down stuff in garden, shovelling stuff up, filling skip, cleared out the drain on our drive (filled with mud and crap) - as I have got older, I’m so much more less inclined to DIY etc - hate it
Yesterday I spent about 6 hours on and off doing all that
Today - back hurts, arms hurt, knees hurt, calf’s hurt - even my bottom cheeks hurt !!!
When the last night of your holiday used to be the last chance to go crazy, now it’s about being sensible and an earlier night
When we went to Ibiza in ‘87, we went for a ‘quick drink’ on our last night as the coach was picking us up around midnight. By 11, 4 of us were in a police cell for various drunken acts. After taking all out money, we got dropped back to the hotel but had missed the coach. Luckily another coach from the airport was dropping off and radioed ours to come back for us.
Like when you as I have just received a letter from DWP stating that you are approaching your 80th Birthday and you entitled to an increase of your pension of 25p per week which is less when tax is applied.

The new Labour Chancellor will probably sort that for you in her October budget statement 😉
Flew back into England last night, today damp chilly touring the estate and looking how the plants have coped, seem instantly to be full of aches and pains.

You’re the last person to know what having an upside down pineapple in your trolley is all about and you hear about it on radio 4 as though it’s something normal.

I've logged onto Charlton Life and am getting adverts for "Prepaid Direct Cremations". Not bloody likely, I'm not paying up front for that when there's a roll of bin bags under the kitchen sink. What is a 'direct' cremation anyway? Is there an indirect cremation where they can only set light to you after the flame has touched someone else?

You're definitely not the last person. When I googled it I also found this.
An upside-down pineapple: You're a swinger looking for a couple. Putting a peach in someone's trolley: You're basically flirting. Lettuce: You're looking for a one night stand. Lentils: You want something long-term.

Still aching now !!!
Getting my 10,000 steps in by 10:30 was a first.
A week later I spent 7 hours in a queue for Oasis tickets. 🙄. Lucky I didn't get them.
