The middle aged thread

I (re)gained an inch in height after visiting an osteopath in my twenties

I’m 66 and have shrunk about 3 inches.

I definitely want to start yoga too, fed up with the arghh every time i need to bend down to pick something up...

Feeling smug, twenty years of yoga later and I can get palms to floor in a forward fold to touch my toes, get my head to the floor in a pancake fold, headstand for 15 minutes, sit in full lotus position and almost do the splits. But I still sigh when I sit down or stand up from a low chair.

It has always puzzled me why retirement communities exist but this week I figured it out. Kids are annoying, get them the fuck away from me! 🤣

Applied for State Pension today. It's all over isn't it...

seem to ache after strenuous physical activity. Is this normal?

My late mum, a retired GP, used to say that waking up without feeling pain somewhere after turning 40, isn’t normal.

Not unless they won’t give you any money!

Bullshit

If it makes you feel any better, I'm 34 and am genetically predisposed to it. I found that out when flying back from NY when I was 22.

Just to cheer everyone up in this thread, this guy is supposed to be 36.

lol, private school teacher? Local law firm? Drawing is a v good likeness

just some degenerate MP

I just let out a contented sigh as I stumbled upon the Accessories page of the Bisley website and realised I could buy specific organiser inserts for my home filing cabinets.

At least supply the link…

(runs and hides…)

Just seen someone on the train reading a Kindle with a font size that I could only dream of using

One letter per page.

Got my nose waxed for the first time. Still on the fence.

I feel like I'm hitting that point where when I look in the mirror I don't recognise the fat old guy staring back.

Nose waxing is great, I have been doing it twice a year under the orders of Mrs P. Buy a kit from the internet. It's the ear hairs that are doing me in. My attempt at shaving them off was disastrous.

Surely this is still the best way?

Nasal clippers.
Every time.

little hands - like trump

My barber offers it. They are great around; ears singed, hair washed after, hot menthol head towel (cold one today obvs), and a little shoulder massage all for £20 inc tip.

Nose waxing is evil.

Worst thing that has ever happened to my face.

Pain for weeks.

Avoid.

Why do you want to remove the things that filter out the shit from your breathing pipes?
