You know you're old when...(Feb 2016 edition)

[Zak33]

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

..... you eat a good meal in good a pub, enjoying the local beer and quality steak & ale.pie with good mash.....

You wander through the dark streets of an ancient town and you look up at the architecture and wonder which historic characters did the same.

Then you have a steaming hot,bath, then sit reading Spike Milligan with Classic Fm playing.

You know you're old when that all happens.....and you're not only pleased that it did...you're not only pleased that you got to enjoy it....

But you want the younger members of the online community to look forward to it:-)

Ok....your turn.

you know you are old when..

you meet people who are starting college, who weren't even born when you finished college.

you remember getting 'world news' off CEEFAX. I didn't get the internet until I was in my twenties.

some of my socks are older than than the local PCSO, who replaced the bobby on the beat and I still remember bobbies on the beat.

I'm wearing slippers and a dressing gown, with 2 jumpers on at the moment. because I feel the cold.

you know you are old when..

You can't react quickly in BF4 like you did with BF3 and BF2 and BF1942 and go on about how good those games were back then !!!!

When you tell younger work colleges that it was harder back in the days and they have it easy !

Spending more time on forum's than you actually play games ..

My boy's start telling me how things work !!

When my belly show's !

I know Im old when I cant bend enough to put my socks on in the morning, or do up laces on shoes so I wear velco sandals.

I know Im old when I cant drink wine any more cuz it gives me pounding headaches.

I know Im old when my son turns 40.

Your 2-year-old's having a sleepover at nanny's, and your first thought is: I can have an early night!

You know you're old when:

You were a hexus forum member before the "great crash of '03"

You can get a hangover without even getting drunk

You can't wait to retire (even though it's some time off) and you're more and more aware that work is a means to an end and there's at least 10 other things you'd sooner spend your time doing

[abaxas]

You know when you're old when:

You ask your GP how to deal with ingrowing toenails.

You own and use and electric blanket.

You look at a girl and go 'phoar' only to realize she is half your age

[big_hairy_rob]

... you go to more funerals than birthdays.

[abaxas]

You know when you are old when your GP mentions 'penis milking' and you know the Hexus mods can't delete or edit your post

Congratulations, you have won today's "words I don't want to google" competition

I knew I was old when I went into a store and got the "can I help you?" from the assistant in the sort of tone reserved for those that are looking for a gift without any knowledge of the products.

You know you're old when you start buying plastic model kits and storing them in the loft with the intention of building them when you've retired!

You know you're old when you go for a haircut and the barber/hairdresser asks if you'd like him/her to do your eyebrows.
