Getting old

[JimmyJeffers]

It's true, and it's particularly bad news for me. One of my nicknames in school used to be "big ears", and when I grew my hair pretty long out over them during my alternative music phase, people suddenly realised I had a big nose too. My face is like a normal person's reflection in the convex side of a spoon

Like a younger BFG?

Im 67 I live in Spain after 27 years soldiering followed by many years of business travel my drink of choice seems to have become Ricard on ice
No sane younger version of me would even consider this a rational move !

Please tell me you mix it with water first.

In that case, wonderful choice!

A French colleague introduced me to it a few years ago. Very civilised.

How rubbish is it?

Spent all day yesterday doing jobs around the house, picking up kids toys mainly! Now my back is actual broken.

Also ive noticed that my sentence forming is getting worse, missing complete words off sentences, adding words that dont belong, just general derpisms that I never made in my younger days. I aint even gonna talk about the penis things.

Lets have a good old moan about getting old.

Young uns, pipe down.

Get yourself a massage gun, they are boss.

Eyesight is the worst for me. Generally its fine but I cant read a thing on my phone and especially cooking instructions on food. It wont be old age that gets me it will be food poisoning.

Ears getting sore at gigs?

Iron Maiden was bad enough......

If I can't get a nice distant row of seats, far away from the stage, I simply don't go

Seats for me every time these days, on the rare occasions when I go to gigs. If anyone in front of me gets a bit too into it and decides to stand up, then a Werther's Original bounced off the back of their head soon makes them think again.

MATE labels.

I found a can that cleans the oven, tried to read the label and its just a blur, im gonna have to get 1 of the kids or the wife to read it for me.

Utter nightmare.

Its weird, I can read fine on my phone, but any sort of label and my eyes go NOPE.

Why does that have to be age restricted?

I have, on many an occassion, been seen to take a photo of a product on my phone so I could zoom in to read the label.
Did you know Tampax contain paraffin? ?
