^ Same. Although I really wanted a Harry Potter style robe for graduation! But my SA was too bad for me to go.

Re: You know you're getting old when..
A-level results day - Arrrrgh! I remember that day. When I arrived at school, my teacher grabbed me to ask me to open my results next to him. He looked very worried, so I knew I'd messed up before even opening the envelope! He rang my first place uni for me and luckily I managed to get in without the grades, which I thought was strange as I was supposed to get AAB-ABB. I got ABC. I got a D in the subject I wanted to study haha.
Graduations are a bit of an ants-in-your pants inducing day. Although Parminder Nagra got an honorary degree that day and that added a bit of excitement. |

Re: You know you're getting old when..
I was so happy and pleased on A level results day. Off to first choice university, everything is looking up! Graduation I only went to so I could wear the robe and because my sisters did and they had pictures.

Re: You know you're getting old when..
Exams lol I never even collected my gcse results. School rang my mum year after I left asking if I wanted them. Zero ****s given I was busy earning money learning a trade.

Seriously though - it does annoy me that at school they never encouraged people to learn a trade and make their own way. |

Re: You know you're getting old when..
When your son is talking about a group of "old men" at the climbing gym he's been to and you ask him what he means by "old" and he says "dunno, about 40 maybe? they were bald" And that's 10 years younger than you

This has probably been mentioned already...but when you see an old bloke across the street and realise you were in the same year at school.

^ I have seen someone who was in the same class as me the other day and he looks 10 years older than me, he hasn't aged well, must have had a hard paper round.

When you have a cough and it seems to linger. Then you get a bit cough gaspy once in a while. Basically my immune system isn't what it used to be. Smoking those cigars probably didn't help either.

Re: You know you're getting old when..
When you're 'just trimming a few wild stragglers', regarding eyebrows. I think this is something i need to include every few regular/beard shaves now. Not to mention the ear lobe fuzz that's becoming coarser each year

Re: You know you're getting old when..
I saw a video t'other day of someone putting hot wax on another man's eyebrows, ear holes and nostrils. Then he ripped it all off in one go.
Damn. It hurts to be man beautiful. |

Re: You know you're getting old when..
I don't know why my dad won't do his eyebrows. He already shaves every day, which is surely more effort.

When you prefer to watch a DVD at home to going to the cinema, so you can stop and start it when you need a wee.

^Haha, yes indeed. The prostate can sometimes cause that little bit more inconvenience (not to mention sleep disruption) for us older blokes.

... you start standing on the escalator more often than you run up it and when finding out that your apartment is on the 10th floor suddenly helps you overcome your fear of lifts

Re: You know you're getting old when..
I did 12 nightshifts in the last 15 days. 12 hour ones.
Obviously I'm going to be tired. I have four days off now. I slept 14 hours and it took me 15 minutes to get out of bed. Not because I didn't want to (had to pee) but because my body was so sore. I'm only 40 FFS lol |
