The realisation you're getting old

[Alex321]

There’s no escape! 😈

There is, just keep riding motorcycles and have lots of sex

At the same time?

Well that would certainly tend to lead to a rather permanent "escape"

At the same time?

He didn't state who the sex was with, so maybe he just likes a nice, big, throbbing, vibrating machine between his legs? 😆

When I started primary school, it was 30 years since the end of WW2.

When kids start primary school this year, it's 41 years since the Falklands.

I heard something similar to that a while ago.

When I was a youngster in the seventies my great uncle Harold was probably in his late fifties and had been through North Africa, Greece, and Italy at the battle of Monte Cassino

The Falklands was when I was in mid high school, now the veterans of that will probably be older than my uncle was.

You know about and care about the triple lock

What's that... ?!🤣🤣🤣

what about the profligate use of 'Oh My God!', gets right up my nose that does. Blinkin youngsters.

On my ride yesterday, I chanced by the hotel / leisure centre that I worked at between 1983 - 1988. it's changed 'for the better' beyond belief - !
Much has been changed around / improved / removed / money invested. Rather pricey now though; a poke of 'loaded fries' £8.95 - !
However, what made me think was that when I was there forty years ago, many of the staff were in their forties and fifties then, so sadly many of them will now have met the Grim Reaper, and the rest will be pretty much my age now; 70ish.

I've just been to see a UB40 tribute band. They were playing the keyboard parts on a touch screen laptop.

I now 'identify' with the over 60's. Below 60 I see them as 'not of my time'. 🧐

I don't know if 'not being of your time' is a good or bad thing! ☺️😆

When you realise that you are old enough to be the father to people in their '20s'

Also, you realise that you have just wasted the last 20 years of your life due to the combined damage of the first 20 years. Sad really.

When do I get a break and life gets better?

It's neither good nor bad. It just means I have little in common with most under 60 year olds. Most of my interactions and conversations are with those born, as I post, after the 16th of September 1963.

I have 19 years to catch up with you! ☺️😆

Turning 68, marks the change from mid-60s to late-60s.

Gulp....

Thus those under 60 then
