My gran was born in 1899. (Yes she died some time ago.)
My dad was born at the outbreak of WW1.(Yes he's dead too)
I was born in the 1940's.(not dead yet)
Fuck me.

I first realised I wasn't a youngster any more when a young woman offered me her seat on the London Underground ( declined).
Then at a City home game I stood up and loudly berated a bad refereeing decision. A man behind called out "You tell him, Grandad!". I wouldn't mind, but I'm nobody's grandad.
More recently, I went for some eye treatment, where they were concerned that I wouldn't be able to drive safely after the treatment. The nurse looked at my wife and said to me "Will your daughter be driving you home?" The nurse had the good grace to apologise.
Every time I read on Bluemoon that someone has followed City since 1995, or some other recent date, I think "What?" Get some service in!
And I realise I am in a dwindling band of coffin-dodgers who did National Service.

Any other Bluemooners have these happen to them, or is it just me?

No

I'm not getting any younger at 41, but today was pissing myself happy when wife told me that some of her Facebook friends asked her was that her son with her when she was in Denmark last month. It was me :D. Wife went mental, lol.

What a day to be alive.

Haha. It's not really like that, she's year younger than me, but apart of few grays in hair and beard, I do look younger than I am. And I don't run away of wearing clothes not really standard of 40 year olds. That woman overreacted tbh, but not that I care, it's something I'll use excessively against my wife, haha.

Given what precedes it, you're asking for a lot there, you know.

Last year or so, youngsters getting up to offer me their seat on the tram. Once or twice I've folded and accepted, too…

Used to get up for a pee in the night, now I just try and grab some sleep between pees.

When it takes you all night to do, what you used to do all night.

When you can't remember why you liked doing it in the first place.
