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

[krushavik]

When you get up from a chair or walk up or down stairs and grunt with every movement.

I got a letter from the NHS on my 60th birthday offering me a bowel cancer test,
i still feel like a 21 year old, but the wife will not let me have one,

When your wife buys you a cardigan. I've been wearing it to work this week over a shirt and tie as the office has been a bit chilly

..and he takes less and less time each time to cut your hair

I wish he, it was actually a young lass this afternoon, did take less and less off, my hair shows little sign of thinning, or not growing as fast.

My hair is 1/3 gone now and what's left is 2/3 grey! (Incidentally, my hair was very dark brown when I was young so the colour in the photo above isn't quite right.)

just received my own letter from McCarthy & Stone.... no, nothing about bike storage, I'll not bother then.

Well if they're going to let any old rif raf in I don't want one!

I've wondered about that - somehow, I can't see the blue rinse generation lasting much longer!

In fact, I think Old Age as we once knew it is almost dead. Give it another few decades and there will just be young people, middle-aged people and extremely worn-out middle-aged people!

I heard someone saying recently that having watched the generation gap getting steadily wider, and always assumed it would widen ever further, he suddenly realised that it had started shrinking instead. When he was 'young', his parents watched Call my Bluff and he watched ToTP; they listened to Perry Como and he listened to the Stones - 'but now we all watch Strictly and listen to Amy Winehouse'. And we all stick on a fleece when it gets nippy...

When I was young, my parents used to watch The Black & White Minstrel Show and couldn't understand why I didn't like it ...

!!!!!!!

Mind you, Love Thy Neighbour was considered suitable tea time viewing then too ...

Ah, the good old days, eh!

Suitable teatime viewing for us was The Last Of The Summer Wine and Dad's Army. Considerably worse I'll have you know!
