You know you are getting old when..........

[wildcat45]

At age 38 you realise you'd rather spend the night with Janet Ellis than the night with her daughter....

Discuss.


(Just seen Ellis senior on BBC Breakfast.)

You know you're getting old when you see two children heading to a car in the car park, and you are shocked when they don't get in the back seats and wait for mummy and daddy to come out of the shop and drive them home. Instead, they actually drive the thing............ (Perhaps just to school though?)...

the vast majority of modern music just sounds like 'noise'.

[neil_bolton]

Not wanting to quote Ricky Gervais, however:

When you make noises like "Hurrumph" as you bend down or go to get up from bending down.

That and uttering the words "I'm old enough to be..."

[paulmurr]

Your doctor and dentist are younger than you

[Tom55]

you cannot get out of a chair without all your joints creaking and groaning

[Tazfan]

You know you are old when you have to hold your face in place when having a shave.

[MitchT]

You know you are getting old when...

You start a new "You know you are getting old when" thread instead of adding the the last one

[B.J.W]

... When the commonly used phrase 'I pissed myself laughing' becomes a more tangible experience.

[S27]

When you have numerous options to choose from to answer the question.

Decided on " When you realise new members of staff were not even born, when you had already started the job"

You know you are REALLY old when you find that the ladies you lusted after at 18 are STILL the same ladies you lust after at 50

(For the record they are - Felicity Kendall, Hannah Gordon, Gabrielle Drake, Janet Bakewell and a few more).

[aussiebruce]

You know you're old when you think 'the rain is good for the garden'

[Chim Chim]

You chat up a girl and then discover her (step) Dad was in the year below you at school.

[HRG]

Your socks are older than the policeman who's telling you off...

You know when you're old when you can't remember correctly the name of the woman you lusted after when you were 18. Shouldn't that be Joan Bakewell?? (Or maybe I've just forgotten about her sister, Janet??)

I know you're old because I was still at Primary School when some of you started posting here

Also, you know when you're getting old when a song comes on the radio and you say "oh! I remember the original of this" and someone else says "oh, is it a cover then?"

[StevenB]

When a girl you used to take to school on the school bus 20 years comes up to you and says hi and she looks older than you ...
