    Your wrists have become so bloody weak you can't cut your fingernails with nail clippers.

    You read the list of nominees and winners for the Grammys and all the time that voice in your head is going  “Who?”.

    When you meet someone at work for the first time, and you've worked there longer than they've been born! Also a true story 😂

    For the past year I've been telling people I'm 58. Turns out I won't be that until November.

    When you refer to an old couple you saw on the train and then realise they are probably younger than you

    Reminds me of when I went to a Zombies gig a couple of years back with my oldest friend.
    We were taking the mickey out of the decrepit old fogies queueing at the entrance, before it dawned on us they looked no different to us.

    A young woman in the swimming baths - had a couple of kids in tow - was telling me how she told her kids about the benefits of swimming 

    She said, 'It is something you can do when you're young and something (whilst unfurling her hand towards me) that you can do for your whole life'. 

    I mean, I'm no youngster, but I ain't finished yet!

    I think I am old. I handed my notice in a few months back. New job next month.
    Just had a teams chat with our hr admin, she said she wanted to come in a say goodbye. I’ve told her I’m In everyday next week but I’ll probably sneak off early next Friday. 
    She told me that I leave next Wednesday. I’ve told everyone Friday 27th and drinks in the pub lunchtime. 
    I think I’m getting old and stupid.

    When you buy things before the one you have runs out or breaks. I'm not talking, milk, bread, toilet roll, I mean car tyres, exhaust and brakes, even a spare pair of trainers to keep in the wardrobe, exactly the same as the ones you already have!
