Went to the barbers yesterday and when he'd finished and I went to the till he asked for £5 instead of the normal £9.He said I'll only charge you for the back and sides. I'm not sure if I'm insulted or pleased

You know you ARE old when the cultural memes mentioned in "You know you are getting old...." threads mean absolutely nothing to you.

I went round to an old friend who likes his citroens, he is 74 and was sorting my rear suspension height corrector thing. He always refers to me as "loon" (young lad). Last night whilst there he got a phone call and in trying to hurry the conversation i heard him tell the caller " i have to go as i have a manny round to see me" I was surprised i noticed it, but it did make me feel old. Im 37.

Changed jobs in work earlier this year and have went from being one of the younger ones with "only" 26 years service to being second oldest in my new team.
Couple of guys just out of training are calling me dad every time I tell them what they should be doing.

For me it is the fact that I never run up stairs anymore. Mind you, a double bypass eight years ago is the harshest reality check reminder that none of us will live forever. Chest pains like you've no idea. Plus I only have 25% of the teeth I once had.

You say something is 'Ace'.
You 'taped' a program on TV.

When me and the Mrs watch a recorded prog and if it gets paused (or if live TV gets paused) cos one of us has left the room then when we're both ready to watch again the call still goes out 'start the tape!' laugh

Went to the surgery today for my blood results. The waiting room was full and a girl, well, say about 40, stood up and offered me her chair. Really cheered me up. Then when I finally got in to see the Doc he said "Well, you've got some". I didn't think I looked that bad.
