You give the new starter a lift to work and she does not recognise George Michael or Michael Jackson on the radio.

Who ?

What's a radio?

When a Policeman's children look old?

When you groan when bending over and realise you have turned into your dad.
When you utter that immortal phrase 'I don't know what young people are coming to'.
When all your bosses at work are younger than you (and female).
When you walk past a good looking young girl in the street and she smiles at you and you don't realise it's pity not sex.

you die

You make grunting and groaning noises getting in and out of your car.

There’s more food in your fridge than beer.

When you have to wait a good twenty seconds after finishing a wee........just to be sure!

You look back at a beautiful woman as you pass her in the street; and she's not looking back at you.

When you watch a porn film and think ‘That bed looks really comfy’.

Your back goes out more than you do.

When the hair growing downwards outgrows the hair growing upwards

You listen to radio stations that play George Micheal and Michael Jackson

When referees look young.

It takes you all night to do what you used to do all night.
(Fred Wedlock 1981)

You know you are getting old when you read that Fretters was a mascot 20 years ago tonight.

When you keep a stick exclusively used to stir paint.

Spot on Random2 - every few years my choice of station seems to get more quiet and more easy listening.
It is also a bit worrying how many of the above replies I can relate to!

When you can't remember what was in the post above this one.

You find this thread of interest...

What post?

You can remember details from 30 years ago, can’t remember what you did yesterday.

She's not likely to recognise them is she? I'd imagine they've both decomposed quite a bit by now.

When you think the 70/80's wasn't that long ago.

you find yourself looking at green cardigans and tartan slippers in Greenwoods window and think they're not that bad after all.

Or you notice that the girl has a spot on her arse.

Thinking there was a time when that actually happened.

when you start having to use bifocals or varifocals,

and when you have no idea what "insta-twit-book" is,

and you can remember having an alphabetical phone book (with no one in the Z page),

and you remember picking up the phone (that had a spiral cord and a dial for the numbers) and taking pot luck about who it was that was phoning you,

and when you go to cough but also fart and wee a bit involuntarily.

When you go to get your hair cut and there's more hair in your ears and nose than on your head

The first time the barber says "Shall I trim your eyebrows?"

You remember England winning the World Cup.

When the barber charges you the pensioners rate without asking! That’s happened twice recently.

When you see a stunning looking woman in a short skirt and skimpy top and think "I bet she's bloody freezing"

The Pope is younger than you in both Age and Outlook.

When you have to put your reading glasses on to watch porn.

Wait while you have to put your porn glasses on to read

You think " Snap-Chat " is a card game, and your son tells you he's getting married next year on your 30th Wedding Anniversay !!

I was teaching a class of 18 year olds, and those who knew who Michael Jackson was didn't know about his court cases involving children?!

just to be sure you've used the right room!

When you go upstairs to get something.
When upstairs you can't actually remember what you are looking for.
So I sit on the bed and wonder.'I know....I'll go back down and re-trace my steps
and that will jog my memory'.
So off I trot back down the stairs.
Problem now is....I can't remember what I was doing downstairs...so I can't re-trace my steps.

So there goes another 15 minutes of my life without actually achieveing anything.

Now, what was I doing?
Oh yes....I was watching a ball being passed from side to side and then backwards...then back to the centre halves
to watch it being passed from side to side then backwards. Do you think they have forgotten what they are supposed to be doing?

I heard a guy leave t' Turf on saturday who said it was like 'watching the washing machine'.
I thought about that comment most of the way home. What's the similarity between something
that goes round and round and round.repeat...repeat...and side..side...side and...back...repeat...repeat?

Oh yes they are both called cycles.

he is only 26 and I'm not sure what his email account has to do with anything

When you go to get the milk out of the fridge and open the cupboard next to it

When you don't get frisked outside a football ground.

You don't try to disguise a fart sound in a public place.

5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 23, 25, 26, 31, 33, 35, 43 and 46 .....all check - how depressing is that?
Also, I quite like the selection they have at Boundary Mill. Although I saw an old grey chap dressed like my dad coming towards me and then realised it was one of the full length mirrors.
