I find I struggle with some technology now that 10 years ago I'd have thought was a scoosh. Also realising you've gone from being one of the youngest in your workplace to one of the oldest and you can't be bothered with the younger peoples chat but realising you were the same wee d*ck at the same age. When you sit down to train someone, and while chatting you realize they were born AFTER you started in the job! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years with apprentice's; You get your first apprentice in your early 20's- "Who is your older sibling, I might know them?" 2nd Apprentice in your late 20's- "Who is your older sibling, I might know them?" 3rd Apprentice in your mid 30's- "Who is your Parent, I might know them?" 4th Apprentice in your early 40's- "Who is your Parent, I might know them? Ah I know his older brother, what? He's a grandad now? Fuckin hell I must be getting old!" I am sure by apprentice 7, I will know his dead grandfather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 As a young nipper at 48 and 6 months. I'm doing not bad, so far. However when I'm ill (which is not very often) I automatically think this is it. Listening to a podcast the other week, and the guy was talking about old age.... He was saying the brain stops growing around 22 yo and that is when you will always think your health state is at, however, your body will tell you different. That's me to a T. I have a good healthy diet, no junk food, but I like a few beers. Have 2 kids at 10 & 4, that keep me on my toes. There is no chairs in my house, sit on the floor. My mattress is about 10cm thick and on the floor. Very Thai style. Which I believe has kept me very supple. I don't lift! I do punch like Sonny Liston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 When, during an office chat about music, you mention that Leftfield's "Leftism" album is one of your favourites of all time, one of your colleagues asks when that was out because she's never heard of it. You reply with 1995, following which she helpfully informs you that since it was released, she has: Been born Got married Had two kids Bought a house Been in her current job for over ten years Other horrific reminders of being an old b*****d include: Footballers you remember making their debuts retiring and becoming managers Footballers you remember making their debuts, becoming managers and then retiring from management Discovering that Gianluca Vialli was 58 Not entirely trusting a fart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife bought me one of those daft plastic multi-coloured things with numbers. More hassle putting the pills in them than setting a reminder on your phone and taking your pills. Fucking stupid thing. It is now landfill. You’re welcome young people. Feeling tired by about 9pm is a thing for me. Also more people you know dying. I’ve not noticed many divorces though. I’m in my early 50s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 You can remember a time when over 10 seasons 5 different teams won the Scottish League Division One Title and 6 different teams won, were runners-up or reached the semi final of the then 3 European major club competitions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
