Sorry mate I'm a bit busy breaking rocks and fighting lions here but yeah, I've been there and the next where you and the Mrs argue about whether the rhyme is "red and green should never be seen" or blue/any other colour and green?

You know you're getting old when the title of the thread annoys you because of a misplaced apostrophe...

I always got told it was Blue and Green should never be seen. I worked in a carpet shop. We were not allowed to put those two colours together on a rack. Store policy...

I've got that one covered

Hey man.



Not quite bald myself but won't be shocked if I am in a couple of years. My hair has been steadily thinning bit by bit since seventeen or so. Thought it was stress for awhile with school but I don't feel very stressed much anymore and still on the steady path


My hair's gone very thin on the crown of my head and pretty thin on top generally. So one day I just thought "Screw you, then, hair!" and shaved it all off. Looks a lot better imo.

You're not old until you've outlived species.

No, you know you're old when you let a misplaced apostrophe on the internet slide as the honest mistake that it is, rather than getting annoyed over it

I just wear hats. I have very fine hair. When I was young and had more of it grown long, I could gather it up into a ponytail the width of a pencil. Now that there is a lot less of it, and I have a shorter haircut, I see more of my scalp then I'd like. I consider shaving my head, but then I'd have to maintain that look. Too much effort. When I do go to the barber for a hair cut I make sure they don't break out the mirror to show me how it looks back there. I don't need to know...

You're not bald, you've just grown too tall for your hair; you've grown through it if you like.

I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one that caught that.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

You know your getting old when you get annoyed at other people being annoyed ;p

But for me the big thing as I've been older is the standing/sitting effort noises. That's not even taking into account the times it's actually justified.;(. It happens way to much for my modest age and seems to be happening more and more frequently.

Squatting with the squigs

I think we need to add , you know your'e * old when you have skimmed the OP and think you have a firm grasp of what was in their* and get angry about something the OP has already covered.

I am suffering the ' look at an attractive lady and think wow that dress is cut well' thing....it's disturbing, but still intermittent for me (i'll be worried if i ever lose the FWOOOAR! that's hot reaction totally).


*done on purpose to hopefully give one of you angry old farts a heart attack.

I guess I'm old then...

Also, you know you're getting old when just LOOKING at greasy food gives you indigestion.
You know you're getting old when you go out, dressed for comfort over style
You know you're getting old when you notice that your grey hair has gone...and come back with all his mates
You know you're getting old when you think "I remember when shell suits were cool, I'm sure it wasn't long after bermuda shorts, around about the same time as jump suits, shoulder pads and perms"
You know you're getting old when complaining about something becomes the best way to talk to people
You know you're getting old when you think hot milk on cereal is nice
You know you're getting old when you don't understand modern kids AT ALL. (watched Yu gi oh once - literally had no clue as to what the hell was going on. The colours were nice though)
You know you're getting old when you see the youth of today and think "FFS, pull your trousers up, I do not want to see your pants."
You know you're getting old when car insurance premiums appear to be reasonable

Yeah, your not the only one. I can never get Yu gi oh either. Its a weird thing.
And the trousers thing... Well Im glad Im not the only one whom thinks that. I still dont get how that is fashionable

Oh, and a side note: Fashion and comfort can be the same thing. It just requires brain cells (something many of todays youth lack, sadly)

No fashionable things ever had the word 'orthopedic' used in the decription.
