Still found my way home!
When you get halfway and stop for a breather, then set off again and can't remember if you were going up or down.

We come home from a night out just as one or both kids are going out for theirs and get up just as they are getting home. It's even worse when we fall asleep on the sofa after our "drinking session" and they take photos before they go out. No idea where those photos end up but they're not good
...... you can relate to 90% of the posts in this thread!
Alternatively its when you are totally confident in who you are . And exude massive sexual magnetism because of your resulting self confidence and wit.
And viagra
When you get up at 6:05 on a Saturday because when you looked at the bedside clock without your glasses, you thought it said 8:05.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
When you look forward to joining the B&Q over 60s club.
When you start checking out the talent at your local Gala Bingo.
Ah, GILFing.

When you fart on every move you make ?
:)
When you can’t be sure if it’ll be a fart or something more substantial
When you enjoy a trip to the garden centre. And actually know the names of some of the plants

I don't like to think of myself as middle-aged. And actually if I multiply my current age by 2, I come up with a fairly unattainable innings - so I'm not.
You highlight things you want to watch in the tv guide so you don't forget.

You play bingo in local hall and consider it a dangerous activity
...you think that metallic grey looks good on a car.
You buy an MX-5.
...the only screams in the bedroom are when you stand on son’s Lego.
... you're interested in ads and specs for electric powered bikes...
... you start wondering if the bike carrier on the tow bar of your car is strong enough to hold his and hers electric powered bikes
You buy a tt datejust
We're got one similar to this
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Under...K/173335034424
motion sensing and stuck to the underside of the bathroom cabinet so there's enough light to shuffle about to without feeling like you're in an interrogation cell.
Also useful for bedtime toothbrushing as it reduces the risk of putting Savlon or Preparation H on your toothbrush in the dark
You can't read the sky/Netflix/prime listing without your glasses on.
When you buy a tent and are taking more than 5 different vitamins a day...
You dread dropping something on the floor as you have to bend your cartlidge worn knees

When you write into the BP and state that new comers are trouble makers and reckon that they are probably some old enemy in disguise under a dual ID.
The majority of the concerts you go to are bands that started in the 70s or 80s
I’m seeing Bananarama this weekend.
Bugger.
So clever my foot fell off.
Say hi to keren for me ;)
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
... you see a good looking girl in her 20s and wonder if her mother is single.
You own/are wearing shoes that are older than the office intern.
Fixed that for you
And unconsciously pull faces when doing things.
You see in the local paper (usually in the Tesco library) a photo of some battered pensioner who has been mugged and think ''poor old sod' and by the time you get to read the What Car review of the Honda Jazz realise that the poor sod is a decade younger than you.
And moving your lips as your thinking through options, and the missus catches you.
ooops....
You start enjoying Countryfile (or is that just me?)
I love Countryfile …
Has anyone mentioned developing a desire to own more than one watch yet?

All technology developed before you were aged 35 is brilliant, everything after that point is an abomination.
So said a very senior chap from Apple US to my missus yesterday. There a lot of truth in that.
You download the Desert Island Disks podcast for Ray Mears following reading another thread on this forum.
(As I have just done).
You have a swollen foot and go to see the doctor who tells you it’s gout. Then takes a blood pressure reading for good measure which is high. Asks you to make an appointment for a blood test which determines you also have an under active thyroid.
All within the space of a week!

You go to a concert and think: this would be so much nicer if I was sitting on the sofa watching this... could make a cup of tea when I wanted and not have to navigate through a crowd and wait in line for the toilet.
Even worse, when you are a home, watching a concert on TV (Isle of White Festival) and musing, "who'd want to be in the crowd!"
When you do a search on the internet for some obscure technical breakdown for obsolete technology and find a really good posting copied off usenet and reaffirm your faith that there are other people who got and appreciate this stuff.
Then realise you are reading your own post from 1997 with your cool twentysomething William
Gibson hacker handle sig you forgot.
HA! Consider this reply a huge wet gooshy LIKE vote.
Memories of hologram rose, and ... newsreader software, QWK mail/bbs packets, MNP5, the triumphant squawk of a 14.4kbps modem down a phone line, CompuServe Information Manager, doing backups to tape (yay) or disks (boo), VT100 keyboards, Gopher, FIdoNet, Photoshop 1.4, FTP clients,....

When you read this in an online article about pop music and have no idea what the writer is on about. Compounded by the writer also feeling 'old.'
Feeling idle, old, and not knowing what else to do with myself, I Slacked my editor, “I feel like my evening is being directed by Bo Burnham.”
