How to know you're getting old?

When, every time you move, sit down, get up, pick something up or
bend to put it down, you make 'the dad noise'.

Friend having his hair cut Saturday morning, young girl cutting his hair asked what are you doing later, he said "going to see The Prodigy", she said "What's that?"
And that was about 3-4 years ago too

And the friend saying quietly in the middle of another sentence then carrying on with that sentence as if he had not said anything "Did you fart..." and you quietly reply "Yes..." and then the subject is never mentioned again. I witnessed exactly this scenario in a works mens' room.

This morning I was making the tea and poured cold water from the filter jug into the mugs rather than hot water from the kettle next to it.

I was talking at the time so it looks like my multi-tasking days are over. frown

When the guy behind you at work is trying to explain £sd to the 30 somethings sitting near him - you understand perfectly but they are looking at him as though he's speaking Klingon!

To be fair I'm 52 and was five when decimilisation came in and haven't the foggiest apart from ten shillings being 50p.

Spotted those old people slippers in the back of the paper the other day, the ones with the velcro. I thought to myself they look comfy.

Wait until you are 67 then, you will think your nose and ears are industrial deep freezers with those dangly strip curtains to keep the cold in.
