GinBoy2 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Looking in the mirror while I'm shaving and seeing someone who looks more like my Dad every day looking back at me. Not that it's a problem, my Dad was a handsome looking fellow in his dotage. And on a local note - I cooked myself my usual BIG BREAKFAST on Sunday of bacon, eggs, sausages, hash browns, baked beans, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms, black pudding, lashings of HP Sauce......and was shocked to discover when I'd nearly finished eating it that I'd been using a bloody fork and spoon. I'm not sure if it was just the habit taking over or a grey moment. And I thought I was the only one who experienced seeing my Dad in the mirror every day, depressingly inevitable it appears. BTW, can can come round to your house on Sunday, I want someone to cook me breakfast Edited December 18, 2013 by GinBoy2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeCobra Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Every time when I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by, like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got the dues in life to pay I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life Is books, written pages Live and learn from fools and From sages You know it's true, oh All these feelings come back to you Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears Sing with me, just for today Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away Aerosmith, Dream On 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobTH Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It takes me all night to just get ready to do what I used to do all night long. Everything is getting stiff but my peter.

David48 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It's all good but it would be great if people could come up with some more THAI EXPAT SPECIFIC ones. I reckon I'll considering myself maturing when the thrill of standing on the outside bit of the songthaew (Baht Bus), wind in the hair, watching the traffic zip by is replaced by the thought of ... just how good are those Thai welds ... the driver looked a bit dodgy ... maybe better to sit down on the seats and leave the riding at the entrance to those young blokes. Just like these 2 blokes are doing at the back here ... . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newatthis Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nothing THAI EXPAT SPECIFIC I can think of but I know I can't sleep through a whole night without having to get up to water the horse. 7 hours straight sleep is now just a memory. Talking of memory, people aren't frightened of telling you secrets because they know you can't remember anything anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianf Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just been to the kitchen twice, but cant remember what for when arriving... If the sun is up ... Milk Sun down ... Beer ... sometimes when sun up also ... For me: It's the ability to cylce longer distances (145 miles last week 8 hours 25 mins) at a moderate pace, but losing my ability to sprint seriously fast over 200m on the velodrome (10 years ago 11.9 seconds, now 14.6 on a good day). Apart from that at age 65 I can still perform elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it was just the habit taking over or a grey moment. I thought a spoon was for soup, I must be getting old too................ Actually it wasn't too bad. I like to build a tasty choice of nearly everything on a single fork, but I found myself doing it Thai style on a spoon. You can get a lot onto a spoon! I'll try doing it on purpose next Sunday and see if the gastronomic benefits lead to a permanent dropping of the knife. I'll add some fried bread to the menu in the interests of science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 This list of some signs you are getting old (well, middle aged actually) is rather funny. Some are universal (such as hair growing in the ears) and some are British specific. MAJIC, on 18 Dec 2013 - 05:21, said:You know you are getting old when at the end of a busy day,you are actually looking forward to going to bed.................alone. Your condition must be a specific one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
