You know you're getting old

[Brighton4eva]

You find yourself smiling at this thread

 

[Everest]

Getting lucky now means you find your car in the car park

 

[dougdeep]

you can remember when this was all fields.

 

[Everest]

Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.

 

[Simster]

On the positive side, you start finding more laydees more attractive. You still find all the 20-somethings very tasty, but the allure of middle aged women who look after themselves becomes all the more apparent.

However, if you're married like me, it doesn't really count for much does it.

 

[dougdeep]

You get a discount on your season ticket.

 

[Brighton4eva]

The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... have come back in style

Count all the ones that you remember- not the ones you were told about!

When you realise you have more history than you have future.

 

[Yorkie]

I can only remember 5 of those (it seems very Americanised) and can tie my laces very easily (I'm still quite flexible)

So I'm not old.

Remember them?

Most on that list, I didn't realise they no longer existed!

You mean you can't get soda from a dispenser anymore? and telephone numbers with a name prefix are no longer here? I only recently found out how those damn things worked!

You and me both but I don't have many grey hairs like some I know.
