Can recall finding out something at a library, it's a big room full of books. Those are printouts bound together by glue of some kind.

when you call your child or family member five or six different names before getting the right one. I did that today.

That has more to do with your diet and fitness rather than getting old. Have you had the problem long?

I know I'm getting old now, my eleven year old son floored me with a sucker punch when sparring with me during the week.

Mrs Mattjack now warns him, to be gentle with me when sparring.

No, in fact I was encouraged to judge from an early age.

I've woken up many a Friday morning to see missed texts from my mam who was in the pub and looking for quiz answers but I was already asleep

Yes my mother is a cheat!

Yeah in the same boat myself. Was supposed to be going on the beer for rugby but just couldn't face it because of the hangover. Back in the day I'd have been the one getting to the pub early to keep seats in front of the tv. I just can't handle "the fear" that comes on me after drinking either.

Hypochondria or is that just me. When I have indigestion, I think it is a heart attack, I urinate a to green in colour and I think my kidneys are going, I get tired and I think it must be diabetes, I forget something I think alzheimers or dementia and for every other ache or pain there's cancer.

I remember when I use to think about sex every 20 seconds, now that's death.

Been up since 6.30am, doing laundry to take advantage of the "good drying", this, the morning after having friends over, when we all called it a night at 11pm having all been very restrained with the well stocked bar as we were 'pacing' ourselves for the weekend, Ooh and I whipped up a marinade for the Easter Sunday Leg of lamb at 7.15am!!!!!

It's official, I am on the way downhill!!:eek:

When you suddenly see the bluff of the fast talkers like, insurance guys ,car salesmen,politicians,etc,etc .you suddenly are not in awe of card carrying officers of this or that. Surprise you are actually glad that you have matured enough to poke your head above the steaming quagmire of everyday life. You see them as they are . you know the outcome of a lot of stuff even before it starts.

The world should then elevate you to a high station of advise and experience. But it never happens as you ignored those old fogies in your day.They wer`nt with it . Now you know they were way ahead of it.

skylight1987

When you start buying expensive wine for the taste and savour each glass instead of buying cheap plonk to get drunk.

When you look forward to spring not because you get to show more flesh but because the daffodils and tulips you planted will be coming up.

When you sky plus the RTE nine o clock news and miss the fact that Anne Doyle doesnt read it anymore.

Deus Ex Machina

You know you're old when:

i) Your sh1t comes out like ravioli.
ii) You wake up with your face encrusted with dried saliva.
iii) Dark red stains and an acrid odour are the order of the day when you wipe your ass.
iv) Your snot has loads of tiny grey hairs mixed up in it when you sneeze into a tissue.
v)Your genitalia morph into a head of wrinkles like something out of John Carpenter's The Thing.
vi) After you puke all this weird green sh1t comes out when you spit for the next week.
vii) Dead skin mixes with sweat to produce a layer of unctuous goo which cakes your perineum and its surrounds all the time except for an hour after showering.
viii) When you cum all spiders and flies come out.

People born from the second half of the 80s onwards going on about being old.

Mr.Biscuits

When you're watching porn you think about how much your back would hurt if you tried that.

Otis Driftwood

I realised I was getting old a few years ago when I was in Argos buying something.They had a double pack duvet and pillow case on sale for half price and I thought,ohhhh,thats a bargain,and bought it.

Cried for weeks afterwards.

Stained Class

When you start going to the funerals of all those people you used to call Mr or Mrs.

I like to make sandwiches out of all that stuff.

When you start pissing and shitting yourself you know you are either getting old or have drunk too much again.

When you realise all the previous generations are now dead.

I use to climb trees buildings and cliffs with no fear. I had to go up a ladder a while ago and I was sh!ting. You start to feel more fragile and fearful of dangers you use to take for granted and thought they were safe enough.

holystungun9

People look at you when you're climbing trees.

Clareman

When you're getting your haircut and the barber runs the clippers in your ears as well. When you get Sky Sports in instead of having to go out to watch matches. When you see a movie you remember going to in the cinema when you were a child being regarded as a classic

token101

When you look at bush drinkers as a nuisance rather than the salt of the earth.
