You know you’re old when ...

[max wartbug]

You don't understand male grooming .

Why lad, when I was your age it was soap and water, then a squirt of Hai Karate and then off to the pub for 7, not going out at midnight.

You can no longer trust a fart

You get ads for blue pills on your Facebook and milf dating on YouTube.

Grooming means something else these days marra. I'd be mindful of that!

Not to me. I've got no hair

Alreet Duncan Goodhew. No need to show off!

Probably add that to the list of "You know you're old" when you make references to people, young people won't know

Both very valid points, that are well made. Thank you

I used to go to a room and then forget why. I'm now at the point of going to a room doing a completely different thing like moaning about the state of the place, tidying up then sitting back down. 10 mins later oh fuck the tatties have boiled dry.

Needed a comma after 'grammar' there mate.

Fuck , off.

 

[Shivafever]

You get involved in “you know your old when” threads

You hear a run down of the charts and don't recognise a single artist

Barbers in Westhoughton does "Ear Waxing".
No ta.

Got one of these done in Egypt, he used a cotton wool bud dipped in lighter fluid and set alight and burned them out.
Quite effective and almost painless.

If I go to bed and play on my phone for a bit, or watch a bit of TV, I can't just go to sleep. I have to get up, go for a piss and THEN I can go to sleep

Forgot about that - having to get up at 3 or 4 in the morning for a piss - sometimes stubbing a toe, or standing on the wife's (no) hair straighteners that she leaves lying on the floor - rarely get a full 7 or 8 hours kip these days.

This, I'm not sure how his comment has passed without much questioning or piss taking.

..... you remember having to drop to 2nd gear to get up Houghton Cut.

Did your hoss and cart have gears like?

Speed is irrelevant as you’re limited to 50mph and that’s not enough to maintain it in 6th gear.

Depends on your motor.
*Disclaimer: although some of my previous cars have been able to perform the above feat my current van is sadly not capable.

It’s not like he’s some towering cultural touchstone we’d expect to transcend generations like, say, Michael Jackson.

He was pretty specific about his generational preferences to be fair mate.

Bit of a wad she was. Still is probably given my age.

An old mate of mine was on the same flight as her about 7 or 8 years ago. He thought this bloke was going to hit him until he realised it was her.

When you play footy and people bring their kids along to play who are fully grown adults.
Then you can’t walk for the next 24 hours.

That's not why you're concentrating on keeping a bonk on for 60 minutes is it?

You get your nose hair waxed when you get your hair cut.

 

[palm 1]

You have to sit down to put your duds on

 

[PinzaC55]

You look at young people rolling tabs in the pub and tut disapprovingly before going out for a tab.
