Things That Make You Feel Owd(er) Than You Really Are...


Recommended Posts

Getting up for a piss about three times a night - which is a false scenario because I take a 2L Fizzy Mineral Water to bed every night and sup it in my sleep...

If I take flat stuff I hardly touch it - no need to get up for a piss...

Listening to certain techno mixes I enjoyed as a youth - Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills, Dave Angel etc. - they seem comically fast now. I wouldn't admit I (still) like them, they ain't aged well...

My trainer preference. I think the yoot have, in the main, utter shite taste, so I refuse to budge on this matter - hopefully the wheel will turn back once more...

Every bone in your body cracking. 

Prefering day drink than going out at night time. 

Girls at work not remembering dial up Internet. 

Not being asked for I.D when buying booze. 

Being one of the oldest ones waiting for a scan on the maternity ward.

The day after any sort of physical exertion. For example, I did a coupe of hours bowling in the cricket nets last week and the day after felt like I'd been shot from a cannon into a wall.

That little adjustment shuffle one now performs before intercepting and kicking a football...

This is a new one on me.

It's like a timekiller the body performs whilst awaiting the instruction from brain to foot.

Makes me feel decrepit.

And you think "why would somebody born in X be..?"

Then realise they'd be about 23, that's why...

Yeah they just do it to fuck with you

The age of your own kids.

And more alarming, the older they get the stuff you were doing, should have been doing and shouldn’t have been doing and thinking/knowing they are probably doing the same 😲 Even tough you tell them not to

Ringing IT at work.  I can hear the disdain in their voice as they attempt to explain something to me.  It's those years I spent tutting in the queue behind old gimmers struggling to use the cash machine that's come back to bite me.

Have you tried switching it off and on? 😂

Right you bunch of codgers @frank_spencer @Spider @bolton_blondie and whoever else the  reason you ache and creak isn’t totally because of your age it’s your tendons shortening because of a few things

Not exercising the right areas, not warming up and cooling down. Stretch for 10 mins before bed and you’ll become more flexible

Plenty of water because your muscles are dehydrated 

cod liver oil tablets take them every day to lubricate your joints 

A-z vitamins one a day and you’ll feel better
