Things that make you feel old

  • Watching a game of football that has Lou Macari's grandson is playing.
    Nah, worse was seeing Ian Wrights grandson a while back - maybe for Stoke or some other Midlandsly team 
  • I watched an old film on BBC iPlayer. John Betjeman walks The Edgware Road from Marble Arch to Edgware (they made some exciting tv in the 60s). As I watched the old man bumbling about in black and white, in what seemed like the London of the long and distant past I realised that for a few short years our lives had crossed. Then I realised, more worryingly, that there's a good chance I am now older than the old man was back then.
  • When you refer to somebody as being old and realise they are ten years younger than you.
  • You just find April Fools 'jokes' boring and unfunny.
  • Falling over … I’m fast approaching the ripe old age of 66 and over the last couple of months, I’ve fallen over and really hurt myself

    first off, I was walking the dog, she’s still an adolescent, she saw another dog and wanted to go on a meet and greet. She turned tail, I tried to stop myself from standing on her and ended up face planting the pavement. Fell on my car keys and asthma inhaler which went right into my leg - very painful - and I ripped a hole in my nice lambs wool jumper - ruined. The dog is licking my face and I had to rely on a young lad to help me up. 

    Yesterday, I was in a rush to catch an Elizabeth line train at Ealing, I misjudged the gap between the platform and the train, smashed my shin on the footplate and crashed into three people in the carriage. I have a nice gash on my shin. But at least I managed to get a seat. 

    Oh the joys of getting old 😭
  • I’d actually forgotten the pain of getting hit in the balls, until last week when having a kick about with a bunch of lads at the community centre. Fook me, it must be be about 30 odd years since the time before.

    the pain would just about gone off by last week.

    Women say the worst pain is childbirth and then have another baby.

    Don't think any bloke would want to be kicked in the balls again.

  • Now having two children over the age of 40. Seems only yesterday that they were little girls. 

    The third still has some way to go before hitting 40.

    To be honest, that step up at Ealing Broadway is bloody lethal. You're not the first person to come a cropper there:
    I'd definitely recommend complaining to TFL
  • Went to GP today for my Shingles jab as I now qualify due to my poxy age - to be told "congratulations you get a BOGOF today". I said what ? Nurse says you get the pneumonia one too if you want it.  Seems only yesterday I was getting my childhood jabs! 
  • OMG the shingles one has made me feel crap - but to me it is a must. Recently seen someone with a bad case and they are still suffering.

    It will be worth it in the long run!

    I’ve just recovered from shingles and it was not fun. I’m just glad I went to see my doctor within the 72 hours of the symptoms breaking out and started the medication immediately. If it’s not treated within 72 hours of the first symptoms it can last for a long time and be really, really unpleasant!
  • What makes me feel old?? Two guys in their Thirties where I live acting like teenagers, When I was Thirty I’d been married six years and had two kids.

    Used ChatGPT to create a Simpsons version of my family to show my kids (6 and 4), they both looked at me and said "What is The Simpsons?"

    Edit: Or poor parenting from me as they have not seen it 
  • My blood pressure readings...

  • Google sent me a few photos entitled 'Highlights from March'.  

    These only included pictures of tulips from my garden ... and an Asda bag for life ... :s 

    I need to get out more.
  • I now sit down to put on my trousers
