Every time you get on a roll with your exercise, you get an injury!

[Simian]

Jeez, this one is so very true. And even minor knocks take so long to get better these days!

[Grandpa]

That's happened since I was a nipper... if anything I've had less injuries as I age... one thing I do notice though... even though I feel like I am running as fast as I used to, my times indicate I may as well be walking...

You become invisible to those who, when you were younger, might have thrown admiring/lustful gaze your way.

This has basically fucked up most of the last 20 years for me.

warm-up and warm-down are crucial!

Heading back into the gym tonight for first time in couple of months - my entire session will be a warm up followed by a warm down then a sauna. Can't be too careful at my age!

A few years back when I was still in my mid-40s, I went with the Woking Rugby lads on a night out locally to a nightclub/bar/dive.
About 3 or 4 of us got chatting to 2 young ladies who were dressed up nice and sexy for Halloween.

After a while the cute young blonde turns to me and says "You'd be perfect for my mum"

[PCPhil]

Unhealthy amount of research into best nasal hair strimmers.

[Slick]

Well this is topical. A fucking “milestone” birthday today and I’m feeling slightly rattled

Were the mums there too, or did you beat a retreat to apply aloe vera to the burn?

I will never recover. A large part of me died that day.

I got told to "Fuck off Grandpa" when I tried to chat up a cute brunette in a nightclub in Newquay... I was only 24 at the time... unless she knew my avatar name?

[Hal Jordan]

Like Frodo being stabbed with the Morgul blade.

I glance at 18 year old hotties, then imagine how sexy her 38 year old mum is.

That was a learning curve

[Biffer]

My feet hurt.

I remember when I crossed that threshold. It seemed to happen suddenly, but had probably been happening for a while and I'd not noticed.

At 67 I realised some time ago that I have become essentially sexless to the teenage / early 20s girls with whom we mix a lot due to supporting young riders.

[weegie01]

My feet hurt.

Just your feet? There are days when I have been (for example) stacking logs and can barely move. Shoulders, back, legs everything aches.

Had something similar at work recently. Made a Father Ted reference when discussing something with a couple of junior docs. Immediately realised it was from the 90s and probably ancient history, so said ‘I expect you’ve never ever heard of Father Ted.’ One of the (female) docs responded with ‘I know Father Ted!’ I’m like, ‘you do?’ and she responds ‘yes - my dad loves it.’

Ow.

Having said that ‘you’d be perfect for my mum’ sounds to me awfully like ‘I fancy you but you’re clearly a bit too mature for me to come out and say it.’

Well, I never got those gazes when I was younger (or I was too blind to notice, equally possible) and you can’t miss what you never had…

True enough mate. Happy birthday to you as well.

You old cunt

[troglodiet]

The noises you make getting out of bed in the morning are exactly the same as the ones you made during sexy times on honeymoon 25 years ago.

[troglodiet]

Happy birthday Slick.

Clearly a Valentine's Day baby.

If only your mom and dad waited a bit longer, you would've been a decent human...aka Capricorn.

Hadn’t thought of that.

Just done a little sick

And it takes forever to get up. My nine year old son comes barging into the bedroom, yelling at me to get up, and I'm lying there having to wind myself up to move like I'm clockwork and the spring has run down.

Happy Birthday Slick and Saint for a couple of days ago.


I've got scaffolding up to paint the outside of the house, front and back. I lost a good few days to the storms but more to my back going into spasm and at times I felt like someone had pummelled me with a sledgehammer in my sleep.

Someone shortened my hamstrings too, I could barely fucking pick up a paint brush after two days of work.

I used to carry my fully laden Land Rover up slopes it couldn't get up itself
- exaggeration for effect, but I think my years of manual labour have taken their toll.

[Raggs]

Injuries are definitely taking longer to heal, and I'm still on the right side of forty, at least for a few more months.

Keep having good intentions about starting up some flexibility exercises...
