    One from this morning; you remember when Matey was a bubble bath.

    You also remember the black water line left after you’d had a bath.

    Just put a new one up this morning (a Brabantia Top Spinner, if any enthusiasts are reading). Possibly the most exciting thing I've done this month!

    You drive any more than 20 minutes and when you get out you’re all achy for a few seconds.

    When your definition of 'an all-nighter' changes to become getting a decent nights sleep without waking up for a slash.

    I was thinking of going for a hills rotary 6.

    But then, as we know, it's all about the ground spike.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    When your reflexes aren't fast enough to operate a stopwatch to capture the time the mrs gets into bed and in one motion manages to get to sleep, with the self-service bedroom buffet menu consisting of cold shoulder roll(over) again...

    The motorbikes and sporty cars you've always had when due for the latest replacement are now labelled "crisis mobiles"

    The hairdresser trims not only your ear hair but the random crap that is now your eye-brows...

    Your taste buds need more spice, your exit portal does not and you dare not raise a cheek in case of major follow through...

    You are very close to target demographic of funeral service insurance...know who Parkie is...and are even considering taking out a policy as seems the right thing to do

    You develop a hangover whilst you are still drinking...you're only a couple in and a soft (non-fizzy) drink is your chaser...

    You can detect changes in the weather before anyone else due to the thinning in the loft...and sunscreen on combed in on sunny days is a must

    That's just happened to me without even wishing for it.

    I was told middle aged men should never pass a toilet, never trust a fart and never waste an errection!

    Mate. Don't worry about it. It's something the butler or valet would know about. That's all you need to know.

    Everything is just too damn loud, everything.

    And that territorial thing you do when local kids kick a ball into front garden or someone parks across my drive.....apparently I have an angry face just for those specific circumstances

    Next step, waving fists at passing cars....like my dad.

    You consider going to the post office to post a watch to a forum member as a "busy weekend."

    When you respond to this post saying I’ve got one of those and it’s excelent quality... I’d recommend the metal spear to drive into the ground to support as it works rather well...

    I nearly got in a fight the other day telling two idiots who had a crash that children play in the area, lots of bad language and arm waving, but the middle age man part was when I realised I had my slippers in my hand whilst having the barny!

    I cant sit here typing all night as I have some plants to water..

    To be fair, that is still a more preferable scenario to my mind than sitting on someone else's testicles.
