For me, the first flush of youth has gently passed. To be honest, I'm on about my 28th flush. On this site, I get the feeling that I may not be alone in this respect and I hope the heading of this post will encourage a few responses. My own contribution is based on what happened to me today when I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for some time.
You Know You're Getting Old When...you meet an old friend and, within minutes, you're discussing what pills you're on.

Yes, Roger, someone pulled the chain on my youth and I didn't realise it until I got the letter asking if I'd like my pension now, or would I like to leave it for a few years!
You Know You're Getting Old When .... someone you considered to be 'pushing it' gets up to give you their seat on a bus (cheeky beggars!).
-
When your children give you help without you shouting at them.
-
When you know the names of all the Doctors in the your surgery
-
When you go to more funerals than weddings.
-
You Know You're Getting Old When... it gets slightly harder to pull birds.

My mature years play tricks with my short term memory, Roger - did we actually get round to talking drugs in Birmingham? Yes, I did intend to type "talking", and not "taking".
You know you're getting old when you profess to liking the latest Number 1 hit song, and instead of the kids thinking you're cool, they just look at you like you're a lying b*****d.
Diane - ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You know you're getting old when...you think you may as well pee if you have to walk past the bathroom anyway.

... only to realise that you already have.

Going into another room to get what you want only to find when you get there that you have forgotten what you came for.

Sorry. It was on the tip of my tongue too.

You know you are getting old when the thought of trying on swimsuits becomes as terrifying as jumping out of an airplane
You know you are getting old when you try a new food without making a face first.
You know you are getting old when you buy shoes because they are comfortable.
You know you are getting old when someone says to you "I'm having a retro party. What did they do in the 80's for fun?"
*Edited for bad timing. :-X :)

You know you're getting old when ...... the grandchildren come with notebooks to write down your memories for a school project they're doing on Victorian times! :'(
-
You Know You're Getting Old When... films like "Dirty Dancing" are labelled classics.
-
When they announce that it was 40 years ago that Radio 1 was launched, and it only seems like yesterday. :-(
-
You know you're getting old when... you join in discussions on the internet with old people. :D

The other OAPs bid you welcome!

When the grandchildren show you how the mobile phone works.

I've had a mobile phone for the last 16 years. Whenever I get upgraded, No. 1 grandchild sets it up for me. Mind you, she has no idea how to sew a button on!

Why would you want to sew a button on your mobile phone? ???

You're just not up with the modern trends, are you? You've just proved how old you are! ;D

Bet your good at darning and knitting.

You know your getting old when you agree to a five mile sponsored walk.
I don't think I can do it.
Let you know how I get on.
Taking money off Mince will spur me on. ;D ;D ;D

Next year will see 30 years of Beau Peep. Oh, Lord. And I've just realised that, if you add up all the comic strips I've written, you'd end up with nearly 60 years worth. Oh, Lordie Lord.

How many days have you got to do these five miles?
-
Don't let it get you down, Roger. They weren't all bad.
Another thing that makes me feel old, is turning in at night with my bird, chatting to her about how great England's World Cup win was in 1966, seeing that she's rapidly fallen asleep, then realising she wasn't even born in 1966...
-
Ah, yes, I can see it all, Peeps....the two of you lying there in bed...you lean towards her and gently clink cocoa mugs...
-
How many days have you got to do these five miles?
Only the one. They that is a dog sanctuary are going to let me take one of their dogs with me.
Probably as a guide.
This will be about four times longer than I have walked for about five years.

Yes .... I can see how you manage to get all these young birds: it's your scintillating bedside manner! :D

The weird thing is that I know exactly what he means, but it still hurts my brain when I read it.

Tarquin, if you know what he means, explain it to me. I haven't a clue!

Try this vulture
IT should only take one day to walk this sponsored walk for a dog sanctuary
They are going to lend me a dog which will mean that we will take altogether three dogs. There dog probably will show me the way.
I used to walk at weekends all over Derbyshire but since my rheumatics got worse I have only taken the dogs on a mile walk.

OK. I've got most of this, Peter. But why, if you're only getting the loan of one dog, do you end up with three?
-
Alright. I think I've worked it out. Two of the dogs are your own!
-
Well done see it only take a small bit of brain power.
Managed to limp around the route did better than I thought.
Did not have to call a ambulance or take oxygen.
-
Congratulations. I hope someone prepared a nice bowl of water to soak your feet in!
-
Good man, Peter. Now remember - let the dogs make the pace, then 200 metres from the line, kick for home, but only if you see the whites of their eyes. And don't look back - use wing mirrors!
-

It's my knees that want the help they will hurt in the morning. May need the whole morning in bed to get over it.

I did just what you told me to do I kick for home at 200 metres from home and they left me in their wake with 198 metres to go.
One dog was crossed with a Saluki the other a Greyhound. I think I did well to hold them for two metres. No wing mirrors used just a telescope.

Together with breakfast and copious amounts of coffee?
-

Then I whisper those three magic words.....
Sir..... Alf..... Ramsey.....
You've caught the mood perfectly, Roger. I'm a sentimental fool.Sob.

I was allowed to stay in bed till nine. I think that was mean.

You lucky beggar. I wish I could stay in bed until nine.
