You know when you're getting old when.............

[haplesshacker]

What's prompted this thread is that I took the family to Paultons Park today. A great place for under 10's really.

I sat on some of the rides with my young son, and I felt decidedly 'off colour' when I got off some of them.

I used to do aerobatics in Chipmunks and gliders. I used to love what we termed as the 'eggs' at the fairground. I used to be able to not only enjoy these things, but also go back for more. Now. It would appear I've turned into some big jessie!

The problems of having kids later in life I guess.


Anyone else have any antidotes pertaining to the title?

You know you're old when you have a fall, you don't fall over.
Or when Dr Who is young enough to be your son.
or when the teachers at your sons school look like they've only just left themselves.
Or when you start teaching someone to drive who was born 10 years after you passed your test!
Or when you realise that most of the music you listen to was produced in the last Millenium...

I loved taking my kids to Alton Towers or Blackpool. The only pproblem now is they are in their twenties and don't want their old man tagging along. I love the rides though. The difference I see between aerobatics and fairground rides is you are in control of the aircraft and although you pull +/- g it is a controlled and slow action (especially in a glider or Chipmunk), whereas on a fairground ride it is the speed of change that makes you feel queasy.

....you start to think 'do I really want to be here' halfway up the ladder.
....you realise you sound like your dad.

The best one I have heard that rings true is :
You know you are getting old when you have a special stick specifically for stirring paint.
Ive not got one yet (still a child at 32) but know a few older men that do.

As a new grandad I'm getting slightly concerned that the slipper section in M&S is starting to look interesting!
More golf required I feel!

You're old when,

You prefer a good cooked dinner to sex
Chase women but when you catch them you cant remember why you were chasing them
Chase women but run out of puff before you catch them
when you spend hours on a golf mags forum

Guess we're all old then!

You buy a "Big issue" and read it - good read too!

You're getting old when not teachers, not policemen, but when the trees start looking young...

You know when you are getting old when you forget...errrr....???

I cant complain having recently been to Army reunion and was one of the youngest looking, fittest looking then most who were there, yet as old as most if not older, and barely younger than a few. Getting MS and taking stuff easy seems to do you some good, I reccomend it
