Pagesbow Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 You are watching sports and are older than the athletes who are referred to as "veterans" (and you realise it's about 20 years too late for you to start your tennis career.. ) You see pictures of women (or men) of your generation that you fancied as a teenager, and they have started to have plastic surgery and/or botox.

Bong-Man Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I stopped in a local bar for a quick bacardi and coke. I was standing at the bar and there were a couple people next to me. I eventually glanced their way and the guy next to me was looking at me. He nodded and said, "How you doing grandpa ?" I smiled and said. "pretty good." That probably would have stung about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagesbow Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Russ Abbot's Atmosphere - music was better in my heyday argument ? Yeah, I honestly don't feel that way. In my "heyday" (the 90's) I was listening to 50's/60's/70's music. Anyway, it's such a facile argument; especially when made by kids who weren't even born in the 90's proclaiming all music was better then. On a sidenote: Russ Abbot is really, really awesome, regardless of decade..... ...when museums and restaurants automatically give you the senior citizen discount. ...when you don't care that you're getting old. ...when you start threads titled "You Know You're Getting Old When...". Someone asked if I was over 18 in a supermarket when I was buying a few beers, so not quite there yet. She may have been partially blind athough. Yeah, I still care. Obviously, I'm right there.... You've started looking in the mirror and wondering whether botox is really such a bad idea. I'm definitely not there, nor do I foresee I time when I would as I'm far too lazy to bother, also, I don't think it looks good and if I did have any money I could think of better things to spend it on than that....

You know you're old when some smugly replies with the obvious intention of making you feel even older, with: I wasn't even born then!!!!!!! :hurrah: :hurrah: :hurrah: :hurrah: So ya, I wasn't even born then. Go me. Although you saw zep live....so swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
