The best one I heard was....
When going for a wee, I never thought I would have to push!
Yeh...when you bend down to do up your shoelace, whilst you're down there you look around to see if there is anything else you can do !!

Policemen look like school kids.
Everything hurts; and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
You feel like the morning after and you haven't been anywhere.
Your children begin to look middle aged.
You finally reach the top of the ladder and find it leaning against the wrong wall.
You look forward to a dull evening.
You turn out the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle and your belt won't
You regret all those mistakes you made resisting temptation.
You're 17 around the neck, 42 around the waist, and 106 around the golf course.
Your back goes out more than you do.
Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you see a pretty girl.
The little old gray haired lady you help across the street is your wife.
You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.
You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.
You know all the answers but nobody asks you the questions.
People your age start dieing.......
you buy shoes and clothes for comfort and not for fashion!!

You have to pay full fare on the bus (happened today - couldn't believe it! the b@stard wouldn't let me on!) but instead of huffing and puffing I smiled and said 'really?' as I realised - I'm growing up! :D
He must have thought I was a loon :rolleyes:

I didn't realise full fare was 16 for ages- well for a few months after I was 16 anyway :( thought it was 18... :(
you go out drinking with a coat on!
and your hangovers last at least a week!

When the manual for a new bit of kit doesn't make any sense any more :(
When you stop listening to the charts 'cos you can't be bothered......it's all rubbish these days anyway.

when you can remember the original version of a song and the one that is out atm is the third incarnation.
You can't remember what you started talking ab........
What was I saying? :erm:

OH GOD i am old. ok maybe don't remember all the original versions.
also when they bring out music you used to go clubbing to and they now call it "old skool"
when you get frustrated with people typing in text speak all the time..... and don't understand the kids these days.... my brother seems to speak in ali g language and it confuses the hell out of me

When you find the sugar jar in the fridge and have no recollection of putting it there. This happens often. I do it with a range of things. I also forget about cups of tea - I leave them at various stages, typically with a teabag stewing away.
When you fall asleep when making love :shocked:

:Yikes: life is full of ups and downs
You know you are old when you realise that your best friend's wife (who is about to give birth) wasn't born when you saw Star Wars for the first time.
Also, you know you are old when you think that the music release 20 years ago was so much better than today's music (even if it actually wasn't).
Mind you I am also feeling old because I was looking up V on the Internet Movies Database (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0085106/), and realised it was 21 years old. I remember being scared witless by that when I was 11. :Yikes:

That depends on your sexuality and preferred role ;)

That's upto you :) Grow old irresponsibly if you want - never marry, never have kids... I think it was Roald Dahl (forgotten but brilliant children's author) who advocated growing old but staying young.

Bob Monkhouse said that growing old was compulsary but growing up was optional. :D

... you can't remember how old you actually are, and have to work it out from the date you were born - and you still get it wrong.
Knock A Door Run is NOT funny as the little gits who've just done it on me will find out :mad: :ninja: :fit:

Pensioners are interesting to talk to, rather than smelly boring old dears that knit things you'd rather not wear.
Getting post is a bad thing not a good thing (eg; bills not love letters)
You never see your parents, apart from at Christmas and weddings/funerals
You don't watch telly to be entertained, but to fall asleep
Pets become companions, not toys
more as I think of them
You tell your kids, "You'll know what I mean when you have kids."
You use the word "cool" instead of "bad" or whatever the word is this week.
You start a sentence with, "When I was young, ..."
You say something to your kids that your mother said to You, and you always hated it.

You start to think the cardigans in M&S would really suit you....
You think 'staying in' is the new 'going out'
