I threw out a new bottle of chilli sauce because it was too hot! That was THE moment for me. I'm 50.

When every time you get up from your favourite armchair you think to yourself 'while I'm up I may as well try for a piss cos it might save me having to get up again later on'

Or when you realise it's probably better to sit down to pee from now on. And take the newspaper with you. And a pen. For the crossword.

Too many of these posts I recognise (just turned 50 here too).

Scratching your legs is better than sex...

Wow! Well past three score and ten and yet to do that. Hopefully will never have too before they screw the lid down ... tight.

Hand me my keys to my turbocharged petrol guzzler .... und zimmer frame.

More seriously, I was long ago convinced age really is more a state of mind mentality thing. I clearly remember some of the boys in my school were already middle aged in their teens.

That's nothing to do with age. They've been doing that to me since I was a teenager.

You know you're getting old when you allow yourself to. Go out, have fun, sod everyone else, just do it FFS!

On finishing my haircut the other week, my barber asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimming.

Mine's asked that the last couple of times, quickly declined as they don't need doing and I'm not that old yet.

I realised it a few years back when it snowed heavily. Got up in the morning and my first thought was 'Sh*t, I've got to go to work in this!'
More recently it's talking to people on a night out in town and realising I'm almost old enough to be their father.
Although getting ID'd going into a bar last week at least helps me to pretend I'm still young.

When you talk to a teenager and they ask you what it was like before everyone had broadband and mobile phones...and they don't know what noises a dial-up modem makes.




I'm 25.

Your half-way to 40!!

...when you are astounded by the spelling and grammar of people who are halfway to forty!

You're* Halfway*

Forty If your(correct usage) being picky.

Its a forum, not a dissertation.

Is that better?

• Hope I have used correct grammar and punctuation in this reply otherwise I will look a tool**

You know you're getting old when your new past time is pulling out nose hairs. I'm sure it only stared the day I hit 40!!!

[Morningside]

Nose hair grow faster than head hair.

When the 20 year old girl I pulled this weekend told me I'm too old for her.
I'm 31

Oh, you mean the upper beard. The 'Longest Moustache' cheats measure from the bridge of the nose (internally).

You are you dirty old man! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You know you are getting old when nude pictures of a female celebrity are released and on viewing them your first thought is that you have no idea who they are.

You realise that if Back to the Future were remade today - and Marty travelled back in time 30 years (like he did in BTTF) - he'd arrive just in time to see the original movie come out.
