The middle aged thread

Seems ok here but only ever lived in Norn Ire where complete randommers will talk to you as well.

I'm fine with that if London stereotypes are true, then that would be quite the shock though for Londoners :)

When I'm out and about at home (up North) and people say hello to me, my girlfriend (born and bred Londoner) always asks me if I know them and then looks bemused when I say no.

Ouch, recurring issue or one off?

I get a recurring random lower back / hip thing cos reasons, just going to blame years of powerlifting as that's a better story than "I'm old"

Thanks. On off, sort of.

I think it's just a combo of carrying a growing toddler too much and the dinning chairs + sofa.

Every other day I think I need to start fitting stretching into my morning routine.

Probably more that he's met someone he isn't just calling a cunt. I'm genuinely pleased.

Friendly strangers was one of the worst things about NI. So glad I left.

The worst things?

Not FLEGS and the awful attitude to parking aka just abandon your car here, it'll do rightly, oh that is the cycle lane lol or Stephen fecking Nolan? 😁

Colleague of mine left cos he didn't like that no matter where you are, you meet a distant relative or acqaintance.

The worst things?

Yes. I would quite literally prefer a stranger to drag me into an alleyway and kneecap me while I'm wearing my best kecks than start than indulge in some good old Belfast banter.

M&S sell a wool trilby, can’t go wrong with that.

M&S

It doesn’t get more middle aged than that.

When do you start leaving a hat on the rear parcel shelf of your car?

I leave a a Nashville Tennessee baseball cap on the parcel shelf of my convertible MGB for when a) it's sunny and b) the fucking thing is working.

Middle-age bingo win.

Face mask plus cold weather plus middle aged eyebrows = droplets forming in the brows.

Unexpected effect of aging...

at what age did people start doing dad sneezes where you shout "czzxzAAARGHRGHFHFHB!!!!"?

still better than "snpppzzzfrrrgz" sneeze suppressors.

why do people do this? it looks painful.

at what age did people start doing dad sneezes where you shout "czzxzAAARGHRGHFHFHB!!!!"?

Did LOL in recognition. Also, making a 'Heurghhhhhh..... eurrrr' noise when standing up from seated, sitting down, and bending over to tie shoelaces

These might interest you.

Phwoar! Daily Express reader offer?

Multiple attempts to pick things up off the floor.

Use your feet to grab things off the floor?

When you're truly middle-aged you just leave them there.
