Getting old

[Chisel]

I wake up more tired than I went to sleep no matter what time I go to sleep.
I wear running trainers as they have comforting cushioning and not to go for a run.
I saw a birthday card with my age on the other say whilst having a clear out and thought 'who's is that' as I forgot how old I was last birthday.

When you go upstairs to find something, come back down having forgotten what you went up for, but find you have changed into your pajamas.

More hair growing from your ears and nose than on your head
When you fart and don't realise , and can't smell it but everyone else can

I'm fighting it. I'm 55 but still a keen runner and plotting to retire early enough to do stuff while I can enjoy them.
Age is largely in our heads.

I'm still learning stuff and putting myself outside my comfort zone. It's funny, mostly.

Had two cancer scares in the last five years. I'm fine. But, lesson learnt really.

I think that I was born old. I'm not a fan of still having a full head of dark hair and having a completely grey beard though. I took the beard off the other day and that's made me look a bit younger.

Do you wear a beard to hide your bumface? Or is it part of the bumface?

Racist.

Realised I was getting old when getting back home one evening I put my slippers on and went 'ahh'

 

[BobendBert]

Racist.

Apologies for any offence caused. Curiosity rather than prejudice.

My wise old neighbour always said "never trust a fart"

I came across it whilst looking for Tony Husband's cartoon exhibition and thought I would share it. I've also put it on the John Lydon thread, seems relevant for both threads and I am sure we all have been impacted by Dementia/Alzheimers at some time.

Jesus Norman,that just made me cry,im on the journey with my dad and that really resonated.

Know it "all":

In your teens you want to know it "all"
In your 20s you think you know it all
In your 30s you know you know it all
In your 40s your not so sure you know it all
In your 50s you know you dont know it all
In your 60s you dont give a ****

I am very similar to you and it really hit home - bloody onions always bring a tear.

I've seen some rubbish and seen some wonderful stuff too

The man who always stands out for me is Cloughy. The younger supporters missed something special there. I always explain it as "I used to go on a Saturday afternoon to see how many he was going to score, not if he was going to score"

Just think about that

40 goals a season several seasons in a row .................. that's special

Not forgetting Big Alan Peacock his Partner up front, who also contributed 20 plus goals a Season. 60 plus between them. What a Partnership.
Big Al is STILL in attendance, even now.

Had the trimmer going for a few years now. The barber also has to do my eyebrows. Just the way it is, although some mates have just given up by 50 and have hairy ears, noses and brows

Though 20-something lads get their eyebrows done too as part of their 40 step grooming routine.

Hairy nose and ears...

It is what it is as Mowbray used to say all too frequently. I'm 74 and going on my own to see the Brian Jonestown Massacre next week in Leeds students union, i'm bound to be the oldest there but won't feel self conscious
