Clues that you are getting old -- what are some Thai expat specific ones?

old faithful doesn't react as he used to

Alas that comes to us all. I think it was George Burns who observed that sex now was like trying to play pool with a length of rope.

...and where do you come up with all these weird photos you keep posting around the forum?

Well, just because it's about dinner time in Thailand ... I can't publicly show this one under the 'Good Taste' Rule.

Just click the link ... all will be revealed ...

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.

Don't worry, that was just the excitement that is created by a big British breakfast.

was that 'excitement' or 'excrement' created by big breakfast...another sign of aging, off for my nightly dose of fiber

Another clue to getting old is when all your ailments have to take turns in giving you a bad day!

A young lady was knocking madly at my apartment door, so I got up and let her out.

Sitting drinking Chang with my beat friend of 30 years , when he said " I'm really sorry, but I've completely forgotten your name !" After a few moments of awkward deliberation, to my great consternation ,I could only reply ," That's OK ,but tell me ,when do you need to know by ?"

More and more people start addressing me as "hansum man".

Oh thats just wrong

Hazard a guess at nationality??

The one on the left maybe but not so sure about the 'hunk' on the right. Shall we just say they are European?

It scares me when you think either is a 'hunk' LOL I'll concede some version of European. Using my unscientific polling data, since I seem to run into about twice as many Swedes as any other nationality, and given the size of the country, all Swedish males seem to migrate to Thailand...Swedish is my official vote for 'the hunk'

You feel like going for a drink, but you remember that all the bars you used to like were torn down years ago and replaced with shopping malls and condos.

People start offering you their seat on the skytrain (hasn't happened to me yet, but the day is coming).

What was the question again ?

Wow, great! You didn't tell me Geriatric Smackdown was coming to Pattaya. Can't wait to see The Crock, The Underfaker, No Show, Blunt Edge, Hulk Hohum, The Sheiky, Stone Deaf Steve Austin, ... and Trish Stratus, Smackdown's viagra on legs, for those who need it.

People -- adults -- ask you how long you've been in this country and you have to answer "since before you were born".

[Torrens54]

Used to be I couldn't pass a mirror, or anything that reflected my image without taking a satisfying look.

Now, I avoid them!

Accompanying a fifty plus friend from the US whilst he was looking at some condo's for sale, and having the real estate agent asking him if his father was looking for a place also!

Can no longer fire several shots off the one stick? I'm not suggesting that's me, but I've heard that can happen in one's advanced years.

[jacko45k]

Half way thru a conversation and wondering what i was about to say.

I wish I could get halfway through a bathroom visit.

I used to get out of bed fresh and fit, but need to limber things up now.

[GinBoy2]

You know you're old in Thailand when you get outta bed, sit on couch and think, ouch all my joints hurt, must be because of the cold!.....aww crap, that sounds like me!
