And riding didn't do that damage, it was the fecker who reared up and threw me off, then trampled on me.

When you realise that rough sex can be bad for your health;)

When you are reading threads on " You know your getting old when "

and finding them very funny.

dermothickey

When you don't know what AH and OH means on boards and feel too old and out of synch to ask. And when you look at a fine bird and realise she could be old enough to be your daughter :eek:

Or when you see these threads, have a chuckle at the first few and then settle down with a nice cup of tea before laughing at how you can relate to most of the things.

You know you're old when, like me you get great pleasure out of sitting on the couch, working your way through Murder She Wrote boxsets. I am currently, at the age of 26 on Series 6

Poirot ftw!

When you get invited out on a Saturday night and, honestly, your first thought is that you're going to miss Dr Brian Cox's Wonders of the Solar System on BBC2.

When at the age of 29......
you sometimes need help putting on your socks, because your legs are so stiff,
you have no interest whatsoever in going to a communion next saturday, and are trying to think of a good excuse not to go,
you want to smash the faces of greaseball smelly students who dress in black and never have earphones out of their ears,
you want to slit annoying relatives throats, for being loud, annoying, materialistic show-offs,
you refer to a piece of meat as ''a grand bit of ham'',
you'd rather cuts your own arms off than look at the Hills, Laguna Beach, The City, Hannah Monata, or any of that type of shíte,
You switch station on the radio the second you hear, Tinchy Styder, N-Chavz, Ne-yo, Cheryl Cole, or any of that shíte
You're looking forward to watching Columbo this afternoon

Only a year or two ago, a Friday night would have involved drinking at home before heading out with friends on the piss, eventually getting home at about 4am or something, and then spending Saturday asleep until about 7pm, ordering a take-away and heading out again.

Two nights ago, I drank with a mate and my flatmate in our flat, missed the opportunity to go out because we were caught up in an abortion debate and didn't notice the time passing, and then spent Saturday doing laundry, cleaning the flat and making soup from scratch.

Also, the thought of going to work hungover now terrifies me.

I'm 24. WTF happened?!


Another one that makes me feel old is that many of the musicians I admire are no longer older than me. They used to be people I looked up to, role models etc. and now it feels weird to have the same kind of respect for people who are years younger than me.

And tip him 20%

He's 23 btw.

Damn! How did that happen?
