snort. I guess I changed my mind after putting ‘food’ down as it seemed too vague. :smiley:

I remember I bought thermal socks once and I loved them and then I accidentally wore them to work and in the office my feet became baking hot and uncomfortable :frowning:

Won’t do anything or go anywhere that looks like it might involve a bad night’s sleep. Also seem to need to eat a lot more, and I’m absolutely appalling to be around if I miss a meal. Feels like I used to be able to last a whole day on a bowl of cereal but nowadays if we’re outside a restaurant and someone’s all “it looks nice, but can we look at the menu at that place over the road” my thoughts immediately turn to murder-suicide.

The above reasons mean that the idea of a camping festival now sounds like hell on earth to me.

I noticed today that my toes are hairier but leg hair appears thinner. Growing old is gross. I used to work with a nurse who would tell you at every opportunity that as an animal, we aren’t biologically built to last more than about 40 years and it’s only our environment and advances in medicine and technology that keeps us here past that. Feel free to move to the office bants thread.

I never know what to do with my hairy toes.

I mean I shave my legs but do I start extending to the toes? I feel like this is a bit of a dangerous game.

I’m 40 a week on Sunday :weary::weary::weary:

Nah, she’s wrong about that.

Average life expectancy was around 40 because infant mortality was so high. If you made it out of childhood, you’d expect to live into your late 50s or beyond.

My TV epilated my toes once. Only once

  • I don’t care about gaining weight anymore
  • I sigh a lot more. For example when I sit down in a comfy chair or something – loud sigh will immediately follow, almost every time.

Oooh, I have started getting a couple (literally like two of them) darkish leg hairs, whereas the rest of them are blonde as they always have been. Opposite graying, or something?

You’re running out of telomeres.

Getting less passionate about new music/films/etc. I really like Alex G now and he’s released some of my favourite recent albums, but I know if I’d first heard him when I was 20 then I’d have become obsessed and he’d have meant something really important and vital to me.

love a bit of Perudo me

I have a non beard chin line too

Cut my chin open falling off my bike when I was a kid, and when I started getting face hair that patch stayed bald

also have a bald patch on my head from when I whacked it on something as a kid - but that will soon be subsumed by the larger bald area so :man_shrugging:

Oh, totally this. Literally stopped caring the day I left HMV. The artist I’d probably call my “favourite group” have released 3 new albums since I last listened to them. This is all bit predictable to type, but if we ever have Radio 1 or Capital (or whatever) on at work I legitimately know ~5% of anyone they play on it.

Heard of ten of these people, and zero of the songs :laughing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/singles

Edit: Actually SIX albums. Christ. :older_man:

I’m going to sound really old here, but the music in the charts at the moment seems squeezed into a very narrow genre and there’s not a huge amount of variety. It’s probaly always like this, isn’t it.

#206

Or, you’re getting old and “it all sounds the same”

(actually, I think you’re right, I’m just playing devils advocate)
