Lots speaking from experience here!!! Good thread

1. You make the Ohhhhhhh noise when you get off the sofa

2. You have a party and apologise to the neighbour the next morning only for them to say “did you? We didn’t hear anything”

3. You still compare our left backs to Terry Cooper

4. Start discussing in all seriousness who the murderer could be in Midsomer Murders even though you have seen the episode 4 times before.

5. Have an addiction to Columbo episodes on 5 USA Channel on Sunday’s

You need a rachet to straighten up when you get out of the chair.

You go upstairs for an item and forget what you went for so you have a pee because you know you will need one shortly.

You check the back door to see if it's locked, walk to the other side of the kitchen, turn off the light and then think 'did I check the back door' and repeat the process.

When you wake up on a morning and think you've been struck blind because it's so dark. Then you realise your eyebrows have fallen over your eyes and they need brushing back into place. This is when I know I need my hair cutting as well as getting my eyebrows trimmed.

Today my new passport came. Looking at the expiry date of May 2032, my first thought was obviously, won’t be needing one of these again Perhaps they should bring back one year passports for those of us over a certain age?

As I get older, I only need 3 shops.
Specsavers, boots and Greggs.

Life is just specs and drugs and sausage rolls.

My dad has said for years 'get settled' to describe sitting down to watch TV. I found myself using the same phrase to my wife last week.

When you go to the barbers and the first question asked is do you want your eyebrows trimming.

I got a nosehair trimmer a couple of years ago as a Christmas present i kid you not.

Thing that increasingly happens is when chatting to work colleagues (who are your peers), and they happen to mention their parents who you then find out are younger than you.
Up until that point I've thought we were the 'same' age.

Sigh.
