Dennis Healy style (one for the older Hibbies)

Or when your getting your haircut and the barber asks do you want your ears done too.

Last time I was at the barbers he asked if I wanted some hair added. Bloody Dundee Utd supporters!!

You're Covid passport Q code arrives on your phone meaning you can go to nightclubs - making no difference whatsoever!

[Caversham Green]

You look at the celebrations for nightclubs opening (in England) and think 'thank god I'm not there.'

You think my days of paying a 5er for a pint are behind me. In Edinburgh at least, I can cope with it in London for a long weekend or so.

When you have a night out planned for Friday and you ask for Monday off as you might be touch and go given the hangover recovery just isn't what it used to be.

[Pretty Boy]

When you look in the mirror and some old guy with grey hair and bags under his eyes stares back at you.

I won’t scare you and tell you what I see at my age, the wrinkly neck is not a good look.

Mick Jagger is 78 today. It doesn't give me any "satisfaction " to see that.

When you genuinely fear the prospect of a hangover because a) it hurts too much and b) your 18 month old kid won't give a **** so that's double the pain trying to look after him. I now studiously avoid drinking in quantities that will give me anything more than a mild ringing of the temples

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.

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?

Guys in their 30’s that say they are getting old 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.

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

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.
