    .....you look at the forum clock and realise its past your bedtime.

    Also what ever time you do actually go to bed regardless of what you've been doing / drinking you wake up at 06:30 .

    When your wardrobe consists of "comfortable clothes" rather than anything remotely fashionable.

    When you constantly quote " the good old days" or " it wouldn't have happened in my day".

    When you give your kids a talking too and get a sense of deja vu.

    ... you thin that you still have your hair, until you open the sunroof of your car... and you look in the rearview mirror, realising that you can see the shape of your skull shimmering under your hair...


    ... you need to wear something on your head to protect the skin under your hair from sunburn...

    When you pick up”Stuff” magazine and realise you aren’t interested in any of the contents.

    When you send texts you send them in full English, no abbreviations, and go back to check the grammar is correct before sending.


    (Brilliant thread by the way!)
    So clever my foot fell off.

    When you have a night in to yourself and instead of watching smut you choose “Grand Designs” or Wayne Carini on those clever iplayer thingies.

    You know you’re middle aged, when you realise what other people think you, is none of your business.

    Thinks I've noticed at 39...

    Lots of Policemen look like spotty faced 20 year olds.

    Sometimes I pee in Morse code.

    I have lost all consideration for anything deemed fashionable.

    Bad grammar angers me.

    Driving at 60mph on the motorway no longer bothers me.

    Chart music is ridiculous.

    I'm a Woodturner... Nuff said.

    you interview someone for a job and are shocked and a bit disturbed to discover their year of birth starts with a 2 (not that you can ask of course!)

    Phase 1
    When you feel that washed out greys and autumnal colours are more your style.

    Phase 2
    You browse the ads for those straight cut high-waisted trousers from the 1950s and instead of laughing, think they look smart.

    Phase 3
    Light-coloured trousers become off-limits in case of accidents.

    I remember what I was going to post now.

    When you realise you actually couldn’t care less about your boss, your irritating mate, that impossible deadline, your mad parents, whether kids think you look stupid in your favourite shirt or the 15th letter from nPower telling you must fit a smart meter.

    When you bought a bungalow in your early 40s and you’re now in your late 40s you appreciate why.

    When you know the layout of your ensuite by muscle memory so you can pee in the dark sitting down owing to having to do it 2-3x a night without scorching your retinas with the light

    Seriously mate? That was 100 years ago. My great aunt might remember that time (she is 107 now i think) but she certainly isn't middle aged!
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    When drinking tea after 6pm ensures at least 3 pees in the night.
    Tea after 8 and you can forget about sleeping.
