Gregor The Flyer Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 That's vaguely creepy. It gets proper creepy when you get to my age. That depends on which one of your many ages you are talking about Rossy.............44, 38, 34, sure you even got down to 32 in Rome ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 As soon as I hit the 2 day hangover. Could drink till the bovine came home in my 20's / early 30's and get up the next day bright as a lark. Mid 30's - felt like shit for 2 days.

Bzzzz Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Not too bad with the hangovers, although as I got older the switch broke, you know the switch you used to have that stopped you when you'd had enough?The dignity switch... gone. Long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kps022000 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 When I started to like olives. When I prefered going out for breakfast on a Saturday morning rather then out drinking on a Friday night. When we go round to friends house for dinner rather than out for dinner. When my drink choice moved from lager, vodka and jack Daniels to ale, red wine and whiskey. But mostly the olives. I am 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flumax Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) That's vaguely creepy. It gets proper creepy when you get to my age. What classes as no go. I always thought it was younger than half age plus 7. Frack, just doing that calculation. One year out. It was weird zone , I shouldn't be talking like that to anyone u23. Now that does make me feel old (and creepy) Edited December 2, 2014 by flumax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I like whiskey - had a few Jamesons when in Ireland the other week. I'm all for a malt but can't drink blended whisky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Not being able to read the small print. Feeling smaller. Physically. All relative as you age but also each new generation is actually bigger than its predecessor. Loss of my youthful sense of immortality / immunity. Increasing awareness of death, it is coming but not before my body gradually rots away beneath me... something to look forward. The reverse of the outward burst of youth where it was all easy in comparison. edit: youth was like climbing up a hill. the opposite of youth is like rolling down it. I am not sure how long I was atop it. it was brief but glorious. Edited December 2, 2014 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very similar, can't go blended whisky. Tried some of this http://www.lastdropdistillers.com after a chance meeting with one of the owners. It's a truly stunning blend.

SMcoolJ Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I started my own whisky collection a few years back. Aye, a fully operational collection. Have to say that I wasn't all that keen on it in my formative years, but now, I really enjoy a dram of a decent aged malt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 from about 41 seem to now give out a wee "ooft" noise when I get up off the sofa after sitting for a while. Knees definately have deterioted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 from about 41 seem to now give out a wee "ooft" noise when I get up off the sofa after sitting for a while. Knees definately have deterioted. That's my daily aim. To avoid 'old man noises' when getting up out of low down seats. However the writing has been on the wall since a few years ago when my sister was horrified that I'd asked for a pair of comfy baffies for Christmas.

kumnio Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Im 35, Ive always felt old though. I hurt my back before 5s on Monday night, and its still painful today, yesterday while trying to stand up, between making bizarre noises and making a strange face, I managed to somehow slip and hit myself in the left testicle, which was agonisingly painful. Just signed up for Tough Mudder in June, so I have 6 months to get fit of face humiliation. Although if I cant stand up with hitting myself, then god help me.

weekevie04 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I make that ''off'' noise too when getting up/down from a position. I think it's a sub-conscious thing incase we let out a fart? That groan will cover any strange sounds, if any do occur when moving around from sofa to feet.

UPROAR Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 played football till 10 years ago when I was 37, late resurgence meant it was a pretty high, competitive level. Felt and looked great until about 42-43, mostly through running. Then career got stressful. Put on weight, lost hair / went grey, struggled to find time to exercise. When I figured it out 3 or 4 years ago I struggled to deal with it. Years of sitting down all day caused serious gait problems and it has taken me a year to get everything moving again. Currently lost weight, regained a lot of fitness and enjoying life again but feck me it can hit you hard and fast if you're not prepared to go to extreme lengths to fight back. rage, rage against the dying of the light....... as some welsh guy said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
