Sitting in a pub where they have a video channel dedicated to old pop songs. Every song is captioned with the year of its release. Most of them make me feel old, but the one that got me was that Phil Oakey and Georgio Moroder song - forty years old.0

Got my 30th coming up soon, many of you will say I'm still young but definitely starting to feel my body asking me to turn the brakes on a little more than I used to be able to do in my early-mid 20s, as far as I have been told, it only gets worse from here!3

Worse! You cannot imagine how bad.

Oh absolutely making the most of now! Not one to take things for granted and have a habit of burning the candle at both ends, harder to do when youve used up a lot of the wax! Just feels very surreal to be turning 30 when it feels like just yesterday I was a bright eyed 21 year oldross1 said:

Nah..its a state of mind. I still rip it up on a night out at 50.. admittedly I'm home a bit earlier than when I was in my 30s but not by much!YannTheMann said:Got my 30th coming up soon, many of you will say I'm still young but definitely starting to feel my body asking me to turn the brakes on a little more than I used to be able to do in my early-mid 20s, as far as I have been told, it only gets worse from here!3 -
You’ll get a second breath at 40 when you will have more staying power than at any other point. Hangovers disappear and you can consume quantities far greater than in your 20’s.YannTheMann said:Got my 30th coming up soon, many of you will say I'm still young but definitely starting to feel my body asking me to turn the brakes on a little more than I used to be able to do in my early-mid 20s, as far as I have been told, it only gets worse from here!The compromise is that your belly will be bigger than it would have been 20 years earlier.You will also lose FOMO. If you want to stay out late, you will. If you want to exit early doors for a cup of tea, you will feel comfortable doing so.
Embrace it.5 -
You are joking me? I’ve gone rapidly the other way (I’m 48). Just two to hree pints and I don’t sleep great and feeling the effects in the morning. 5 pints plus and I’ll be suffering for 2-3 days guaranteed. My love and hate of drink are now in equal measure. Depresses me body just can’t process alcohol no more and suspect I’ll have to knock it completely on the head within a couple of years.SporadicAddick said:

Embrace those years @YannTheMann
Life moves stupidly quick and building good friendships and memories to fall back on and laugh about are absolutely priceless. Stay in the saddle as long as you can!6 -
Keep active, don't sink into watching daytime television or you will go downhill quickly. Cycling, swimming, bowls or simply going for a walk regularly. Help a charity or volunteer organisation, such as a heritage railway or National Trust.usetobunkin said:Coming up to fully retire in April, got a paper round when I was 10, and never been out of work since, and retirement is frankly frightening.WTF am I going to do?5 -
Thanks for all the lovely sentiments chaps, look forward to ageing ungracefully and continuing a lifetime of disappointment with our wonderful club4

I'm fast approaching my 1st anniversary as a retiree and am absolutely loving it. I haven't had a dull moment since giving up work* and have found that there's still not enough time to do everything I want to do. I realise that I was one of those people who always wanted to leave work so that my time would be my own, but I'm struggling to think what's not to like about it. @usetobunkin what is it about retirement that you find frightening?
*That's not entirely true, I have had a few. You can read about them in various post match threads.6 -
I hired someone this summer who has a degree but wasn't alive when 9/11 happened.2

Get down to Eltham Goals on a Tuesday morning and join in (Not so) walking football run by Charlton community trust, full of Charlton fans.YannTheMann said:Thanks for all the lovely sentiments chaps, look forward to ageing ungracefully and continuing a lifetime of disappointment with our wonderful club0 -
I found as I approached my 30th birthday that I could no longer just sleep off a skinfull.AFKABartram said:

With promotions and more responsibility at work I realised more and more I needed a clear head and my drink threshhold for that had become less and less.
In fact my last great wipeout session with my mates was on my 30th birthday.
The resultant alcohol poisoning was off the scale, I couldn't move until after midday the next day, paracetomol couldn't get near the headache and I ended up stealthily sipping half a bottle of vodka, hair of the dog style, around tea time to finally steady my head.
From that day on I only ever drank on Friday and Saturday nights, never before a work day.
Since I retired 5 years ago, I have kind of stretched it from Thursday to Monday. 0 -
@usetobunkin a few more ideas. Do creative things; make stuff, even if only plastic kits, mend or restore old things, take up drawing or painting. If you don't know how to, look up adult education classes. Do a bucket list trip - safari, Golden Triangle in India, cruise the Croatian coast. Enjoy relaxed sex in the afternoon, rather than last thing at night.1

Do you drink a measure of water equal to that of the beer consumed?
It’s a bit of a pain drinking 2-3 pints of water before going to bed, especially as you will now probably have to get up to have a wee several times during the night, but it works.
It may also help to drink water before drinking beer.
It’s mostly a question of hydration in avoiding hangovers.1 -
I'm now employing people younger than my children........2

The sex in the afternoon is not so relaxed if you've got to keep an eye on the clock for the Mrs getting home from work.Masterbrew said:@usetobunkin a few more ideas.

I swear by this approach too. Grab a water at the bar before heading off. Bottle on the way home and a pint of water when you get home. Strong antihistamine and bed. Feel pretty tired the next day but no real hangover. Any lingering effects the next morning can be beaten by a berocca and a bacon roll.jimmymelrose said:
