    You develop a lactose intolerance. I hardly drink milk, so my lactase production ability must have vanished at some point. Had a few milky teas the other day and oh my god oh jesus christ the work khazi got it. Wasn't sure if that was what it was so repeated the experiment the following week. Straight through me, and I nearly ended up like a onesie casually thrown over the arm of a chair.

    When it takes three attempts to get up from the settee at night
    and each attempt is accompanied by a strange noise / "hup" as you tense your stomach muscles to help.

    Two balls one cup.
  • You realise Taekwondo is not the sport for you, as no points are awarded for ankle and shin kicks.

    I think the first attempt is often a complete failure. The second attempt starts with a rocking motion to build up some momentum, but, due to attempts at conserving energy, it's not quite enough. The third attempt comes, as you say, with a "hup" or "ooph" (or both). However, if that fails, I try to pretend I wasn't trying to get up and watch telly for another five minutes while trying to stop myself thinking "Christ, it's 9 o'clock it's getting late".

    You see a thread for the Tokyo Olympics, and you think of Lyn Davies, Mary Rand and Ann Packer.

    When you see photos of an old landmark (Baseball Ground in this case) and think, cor look the clobber them people are wearing and look at them old cars, then realise you were well into this mortal coil when the photo was taken and could've even been in it the photo

    You go out in the car, get about a mile down the road, wonder what the warning light on the dash is and realise you’ve left the tailgate open.
    My problem is wondering about trying to work out where I’ve parked. Then realising 10 mins later that I left the car at home.

    You go to Camden with a couple of mates, find a pub to eat in, order a coffee then sit there complaining about your aches/pains and failing eyesight/hearing.

    It didn't seem that long ago that we'd have been looking for a place where we could get away with smoking a joint.
    Smoking a joint will help your aches and pains. Not so good for the eyesight though.
