The less obvious signs of ageing
Discussion
A turning point for me is when I started worrying about my parents more than the other way round.
They're only mid 60s and quite capable of looking after themselves day to day, but now that they have retired, and for the last 3 years I've only seen them at 6-12 month intervals, they seem to have aged so quickly.
They watch local news for the area they used to live in, and say goodbye to the presenters.

I'm 26 and I have only just started to get chest hair! I'm hoping that this has a knock on effect and delays the rest of the unsightly hair sprouting.
Good riddens to spots though, one of the benefits of getting older!
I was later than that when i started with chest hair. Only 30 now it goes down hill fast from now on mate. I feel so old now even tho i look prob about your age. Good riddens to spots though, one of the benefits of getting older!
Great thread
Laughed a lot reading through it.
I totally sympathise with the Spaz dancing. My four year old boy just points and laughs at me.
One thing I have noticed is that after years of being pathetically polite and non confrontational in certain situations I now don't care if people see that I'm p*ssed off.

There is a certain type of jacket that all older men have. It's pretty much always blue or brown, very occasionally grey. Made of some awful polyester/cotton, waist length with elasticated waist and cuffs, zip up front and pockets, with a darker band of blue/brown/grey that goes around the top of the arm, just below the shoulder.
I have no idea where they get them, Google didn't help. Maybe mail order from the magazines in the sunday papers?
Someone must know what I mean, right?

And normally a food or saliva stain on the front?
