Re: TOP 50 SIGNS YOU ARE GETTING OLD

1. Falling asleep in front of the TV - absolutely without fail just after a nice Sunday lunch usually just before half time of whichever rugby match I really really want to see .....
2. Feeling stiff
3. Groaning when you bend down
5. Hating noisy pubs - thats become one of my real pet hates, not being able to have a nice conversation with friends because of the noise.
6. Thinking teachers / policemen / doctors look really young
9. Forgetting people's names - yeah well thats pretty normal for me so no real change there lol
10. Not knowing any songs in the Top 10 - mmm I might but I have no idea what songs are even IN the top 10 these days
11. Choosing clothes and shoes for comfort rather than style - kinda sorta I do choose clothes and shoes for comfort however just cos something is comfy does not mean it isn't stylish!
15. Joining the Women's Institute actually I first joined the WI in my 20's and will do so again when I'm less busy - its a fallacy that its all old women
16. Misplacing glasses / bag / car keys - thats the menopause not age! (thats my excuse and you can borrow it if you want)
19. Moving from Radio One to Radio Two - I'm a TOG and proud of it!
20. Allowing yourself a mid-afternoon nap -
27. Going on a 'no children' cruise - sounds like heaven

30. Knowing your alcohol limit - umm I've always known my limit...haven't always stuck to it but I've always known it
32. Telling people exactly what you are thinking, even if it isn't polite
35. Taking an unnaturally keen interest in the local free newspaper - ermmmm whats so bad about that?
37. Driving instead of drinking - thats been my default for years - has nothing to do with age and everything to do with not liking being driven
41. Taking a cushion to the rugby because the seats are so uncomfortable - not a cushion - yet - but certainly have taken fleecy blankets to sit on and snuggle under - it gets fecking freezing!!
42. Putting everyday items in the wrong place - they are not in the wrong place they are in a SAFE place ..... I just cant remember where that is ....
44. Wearing cardigans - I own a couple.....they are back in fashion!

If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.

Re: TOP 50 SIGNS YOU ARE GETTING OLD
I've always worn cardigans, cords, and enjoyed the garden. But I still listen to Radio One!

Re: TOP 50 SIGNS YOU ARE GETTING OLD
What's radio one?
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is
Re: TOP 50 SIGNS YOU ARE GETTING OLD
BBC Radio One is chart music for the young 'uns Keld. Radio two is a bit... gentler.
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
