How do we know we're getting old ?

You know you are getting old when it takes you all night to do that which you used to ge able to do all night.

I'll get my own radio thanks.
Don’t know about you Ian, but I used to rock and roll all night, and party every day…..then it became every other day…..until these days I’m lucky to find half an hour a week in which to get funky….
 
I was born in the early 70s and i remember the test card, our first colour tv was a rental and it had a 50p meter on the back. That was the original pay per view!
Na beat that we had a b and w that took tanners ,always ran out half way through a film fastest id ever see my father move as he frantically leapt out of the chair to search for a six pence. Dave

My gran could beat that Dave…….in 1969 Neil Armstrong‘s foot came out of the landing module…..and the sixpence went :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3:
She still moaned about it forty years later….
 
....when I remember going to see the epic Ben Hur in 1959 and not taking some butties and a flask!
 
When I remember my two older brothers grunting like gorillas to scare me after we had seen Phantom of the Rue Morgue (1954).
 
when you have to find the right glasses to see something that's dropped on the floor- before you even start to take on the carpet monster
 
When you get more excited over getting new shelves than going out on a Friday night :flushed:
 
I'll admit, I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was!! ;) .....just getting my coat:tongue-out3:
 
While all the above are indicators of getting old, may I suggest that the true sign of getting old is when your thinking changes from:

When will I go to this pub/restaurant/theatre next?

When will I meet these people again?

When will I next carry out this activity?

..........

To:

Is this the last time I'll ever go to this pub/restaurant/theatre?

Is this the last time I'll ever meet these people again?

Is this the last time I'll ever carry out this activity?

When you have to scroll down, down, down and even further down to get to your year of birth in those bloody "Drop down boxes" on the laptop!!

Some of the you can start typing in and it takes you there, certainly faster than going back more than half a century.....
 
When you end up going to your local hospital more often than you go to your local pub……
 
They say that forgetfulness is a curse of old age, problem is sometimes I remember too much:sad-face:
