i am no long a hip youngster... I have just bought some super nice shirts from debenhams..... the cool kids don't shop there!! in fact they now probably look down on me...
and so i realise i am middle aged... i bought them because they "looked comfy"....
and it was too depressing watching the football the other say when i realised i was now old enough to be a lot of their dads!!!
oh well.... i suppose the mid life crisis is next!!!!!
so when did you realise you weren't "young" anymore |

Hahaha... It's all about PMA.. I never consider being old or middle-aged.. After all 60 is the new 40, with that being the case it makes me 24, happy days..  |

This didn't happen to us, but some friends of ours went to Nandos and spent half an hour wondering why they weren't being served, then gave up and left - we, on the other hand, love nandos and go there all the time, until school's out and the teenagers take over, then we retire to our rocking chairs and slippers |

I still feel young.
I get called Madam rather than Miss and everyone assumes I must be married, but I still feel young.
I've got a wardrobe full of 4"-6" heels I never go anywhere to wear but I am still not old dammit! |

While waiting in line at a concert we went too. I looked around and felt ancient, we were probably old enough to be most of their parents.  |

I'm fairly frequently asked by under 35s to help them with technology they've buggered up or can't use, so I think we'll probably be fine ta. |

"Most of my shoes are high heels
But at the weekend I tried on some sensible shoes and nearly brought them for comfort reasons. "
I thought about wearing a pair of sensible shoes to a wedding last week. Until Mr B told me I would look like an old biddy. I suffered in my high heels all day but they did look good.  |

You have to be joking. Under our current government, ordinary people will have to work until they drop dead. Retirement won't be allowed. If you can't work, you're of no use and shouldn't be fed! |

When visiting a swinger club wondering if anyone would mind if we used a playroom for a nice little kip.
When going out seeing lots of scantily dressed girls heading to local night club, thinking.
They are going to get cold dressed like that.
Mostly being out of the age range of most of the couples we fancy |

Last year I came to the realisation that I was missing out on something in life, but I couldn't quite put ma finger on what it was 
Then it hit me squarely between the eyes, it was a midlife crisis. I'd worked hard for one and I was not to be denied this lifetime opportunity. I had a self imposed midlife crisis, grew a goatee and dyed it pine green
Life is cool now brothers and sistas |

Grey hairs in your eyebrows.
The hairdresser uses the trimmers on your ear hair.
You listen to the radio, hear a new song and think "that's just a noise"

Getting up causes every joint to crack (used to practice martial arts, and still do to lesser degree)
Favourite radio stations: bbc radio 2 and classic FM
Prefer coffee shop to nightclub because I hate noise
And I'm nowhere near middle aged |

You know you've reached middle age when.......
You regularly experience heartburn and indigestion?!
You have to avoid certain foods because they create mayhem with your insides. (But said foods were never an issue a few short years back?!)
Your teenage children think you're a bit tragic and embarrassing.
(Yet you still think you're young hip and cool!)
I get up and it's like a party at a bubble wrap factory. My joints pop and crack at every opportunity lately!!
I'm 38 now, I think I may have passed my middle age a few years back?!
Can't see myself getting to 76 if I'm tbh, I do everything to excess and am clumsy as fuck! Lol.
But I'm always gonna live the dream and keep it real.

I call it muddle aged.
I've been middle aged for a long time, long before my age caught up with me. People say daft things like 40 is the new thirty or, You're not middle aged! I'm not planning to live to be 100 so at 50 I'm in muddle age.

McDonald's are trialling waiter service in some of their "restaurants". The grey pound is more influential than we think.

I was watching the boxers training the day and thinking it didn't seem 5 mins since i was in the ring myself...saying this 5 mins of their training would fuck me now.
I have slowed down to how i was 20 years otherwise there wouldn't have been enough women on Fab to feed my addiction lol, i now don't think twice of shopping in Primarks or Peacocks instead of my old favourites River Island & Next.
I definitely know I'm when getter older when I'm filming a sexy lady who asks me to join her & i say no & put in a younger stud lol.
You still feel the same but pace yourself slightly slower, i just wish i had all the experience i have now years ago. |
