As I drove my 16 year old daughter to school this morning, "Don't Stop me Now" by Queen came on the radio and she happily sang along (me too TBH!).

I remember it's release in 1979 - 42 years ago!

The equivalent for when I was 16 would have been to sing along with a song that came out in 1942 (eg. Vera Lynn - the White Cliffs of Dover).

I was speaking to someone who used to play rugby for Scotland on Saturday.

He played in the same team as Bryan Redpath, and having one of his team-mates sons playing for the team on Saturday afternoon made him suddenly feel a generation older. It was quite funny, he was obviously affected by it.


I'm pretty sure the last player to play for Hibs who was older than me was Shefki Kuqi. It's a bit depressing to know that nobody older than me will ever play for Hibs again.

It is a complete design flaw. I am 52 and still have a pretty decent head of hair, thinning but not bad. But is as grey as a grey thing and has been for years. The hair in my lugs which grows thicker than my head now is also now jet black. WTF is that all about

I met a mate who I hadn't seen in ages last night.

I was dreading it a bit because I'd been out on Thursday and whilst not totally hungover I could feel I'd had a drink. He was always a 'just one more' type. We sat there, spoke about us both now being a dad, spoke about both having another on the way, compared a few anecdotes about jobs and the like then called it a night after 4 pints.

I still like a sesh from time to time but I'm increasingly good at calling it a night early doors. A couple of years ago when that happened I worried about it because I knew it meant I was getting old; now I like getting a decent night's sleep and feeling fresh in the morning.

I've only started feeling like this in the last 5 years or so and since covid I just don't want to go out at all, now that I'm out the habit. The whole thing is just a pain in the erse, only having 3 or 4 pints is boring but if I do have a sesh I'll be desperate for a pish on the way from the pub to the train station then again from the station to my house. And the hangover....I just don't want another one, they exacerbate every minor ailment I have. Maybe once a year at Christmas but that's it. I'm out on Monday and Wednesday next week and not looking forward to it at all.

The older I get the more I want to drink every day and get sozzled.

My favourite time of night is when my wife goes to her bed and i can crack open my alcohol and put on my television after being sickened earlier at watching Emmerdale and Corrie.

Am I alone with this?

[Block]

When you go back to the house to make sure you have locked the door.

Who have you got locked up in there?

I met a mate who I hadn't seen in ages last night.

I was dreading it a bit because I'd been out on Thursday and whilst not totally hungover I could feel I'd had a drink. He was always a 'just one more' type. We sat there, spoke about us both now being a dad, spoke about both having another on the way, compared a few anecdotes about jobs and the like then called it a night after 4 pints.

I still like a sesh from time to time but I'm increasingly good at calling it a night early doors. A couple of years ago when that happened I worried about it because I knew it meant I was getting old; now I like getting a decent night's sleep and feeling fresh in the morning. It still means I'm getting old, I just don't worry anymore.

Guys in their 30’s that say they are getting old :wink: not a dig at you personally, but wait till you hit 50 things really take a nosedive then.

Exactly, 50 is the turning point thereafter you are on a jet plane!

It seems I must be one of the few who have found hangovers a thing of the past once I got older. I can have a massive session and have no after affects the next day.

Pretty much where I am, once in a blue moon I get a pounding headache but, touch wood, spewing pretty much a thing of the past.

Yea me too. I used to have 48 hour hangovers but nothing now.

I’m only 30, so I wouldn’t say I’m ‘older’ but I’m the same. I used to get stinking hangovers when I was younger. I can’t remember the last time I had one now though and the last few times ive been smashed I’ve woke up feeling brand new.

The mrs hates me for it as she can hardly have half a bottle of wine without feeling a bit ropey the next day :greengrin

No you’re definitely not mate.

There’s definitely something in that, I can have a decent session and be fine the next day, but if I have two days in a row on it I’m struggling. I’m looking forward to getting older and being able to handle that second day. :greengrin

I love all these 30 and 40 year olds on a thread about getting old, when I was 47 I came 2nd in the Scottish masters in the British Natural Bodybuilding Championship, fittest I'd ever been in my life. Now 62 with 2 new hips and some excess fat, I know about getting old. 😂

Haha yes, bloody cringeworthy when 30 year olds (not necessarily on here)
talk about getting old.

Compared to young folk they are old, we're just even older:wink:

Absolutely. In the battle of "Go big vs go home", it's usually "go home" that wins and I have yet to regret that especially over the last few years.

Ive just had an "episode", been working in the garden this morning on my hands and knees, when it was time to stand up i couldnt !!!!! Had to knee march over to the fence and pull myself up. Really hope the neighbours are out:greengrin

Knee marching :greengrin. Think I might take that up, for exercise, as my bones get older. Not so far to fall if you trip, so less chance of breaking anything.

When taking the dogs for a 5 mile walk leaves you in as much pain as 80 minutes of rugby used to

If my missus has to bend down to put in a DVD, she goes back to the couch on all fours, as it's much easier than standing back up.

I've found a period without alcohol has had rejuvenating effects. My mind is sharper for a start and I've saved quite a bit of cash.

It probably won't last. The novelty will wear off or some stressful thing will send me to the Tesco wine dept again but I can highly recommend a dry few weeks.

Hmmmmm....I was feeling well peed off about a few things after no bevvy since last Saturday but it's only taken 2 beers and 2 wines tonight to get me feeling great again :greengrin

I stopped drinking alcohol completely on school nights after starting a career change and wholeheartedly agree with you. Having a couple before bed after a hard day was becoming a habit. I feel so much better getting out of bed on workdays now, still feel **** at weekends though :wink:

Knees creaking!!

Started doing a Parkrun on Saturday mornings, did my 4th this morning. Sit down for any length of time and my knees seize up. 🤔

Exactly the same, can be on my feet for ten hours a day no problem, sit down for 30 minutes and can hardly move when I get up.

Was out for a walk and a daddy long legs kept flying into my eye..i knew it wasn’t my fringe as i had a hat on (plus ive a bowl cut tiny fringe)…kept coming at me then eventually realised it was my eyebrows!

You phone the opticians to make an appointment, write it down so that you know when it is. You drive the 28 miles to the city where you're appointment is, do other shopping and are sitting having a coffee until your appointment time when the opticians phone you to remind you about your appointment TOMORROW!!! 🙄

When you lose all track of time and things that happened years ago still feel recent.

Hibs winning the CIS Cup feels like it was a couple of years ago. I was 21.

Somehow pulling the girl everyone in work fancied and managing to be uncharacteristically cool and subtle about doing so? 16 years ago.

Falling asleep because I was so drunk in a 1st date? 11 years ago and we are engaged with 2 kids now.

Even the Scottish Cup win feels like it only happened about a year ago. Nearly 5 and a half years ago FFS.

Think I’m old because that seems a lot to me (£90 a couple) for a Turkey dinner.

You watch an episode of celebrity pointless and don't recognise a boyhood crush because she's absolutely mutilated herself with plastic surgery. I'm talking about Leslie Ash, she was an absolutely stunning lady and I'm gutted that it's turned out this way for her.

When you take a week off work and rather than see it as an excuse to go for a couple of day sessions you use it to take a pair of trousers to a tailor, put up some shelves, build a cot and do your Christmas shopping.
