You may well be ageing but I’d suggest there is also a possibility of hormonal issues here.

Your obviously a rich ancient, £12.00 for a haircut is extortion, mine has just gone up to £9.00 and he got grief for increasing it by a pound! Mind you he only gets a quid tip these days not the 2 quid he got before.

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?

Are you sure the "same" girl has being cutting your hair the last few years, as you get older they all look the same, well that's my excuse!

Starter...crab salad, main...sea food liguine, sweet..............sticky toffee ice cream sundae, the full works and the cheeky waiter asked me if it was the childrens portion I required. I replied " do I look like I eat childrens portions.." I'm a big boned 59 ffs

You do realise that the term "require childrens portion" has totally different meaning in South Wales.

I go to this website and check out bands I used to go see over 20 years ago that are either gone or have members dead or murdered. Actually it doesn't make me feel old it makes me feel forgetful and morose. They can literally give you the set list of any performance in your town from whenever. It's quite astonishing.
 
On the other hand and feeling not so ancient: him playing snooker now, John Higgins, is 43 years of age!

Where to start on this one.....

My sons being grown men at 17 and 21, how the fuck did that happen so quick

The Tornado going out of service was only like yesterday seeing at at Woodford as the new fast jet of the future and that future has gone.

Sitting here in Croatia with a laptop, mobile, tablet, and thinking about when I first travelled and you would have to wait until Monday for the British Sunday papers to arrive in Greece on Monday to find out the football results and realising it seems like yesterday. Oh that the country I am now in was behind the Iron Curtain and that there are many who have no idea what the iron curtain was.

Similar to above talking to a girl out here today who had never heard of Yugoslavia and had no idea that she was actually there.
 
We were in that London a while back.
We got on the tube and immediately was offered a seat by a youngster. Pleasantly surprised I declined.
Next journey it happened again, much to my wife’s amusement.
Third journey again I was offered a seat. A bit narked now I declined, at which the person offering the seat turned to my wife and said something.
When we got off the tube I turned to my Mrs. Aha, you thought it funny when I was offered a seat, but now they are offering you one.
Oh no, she replied they weren’t offering me a seat.
What did they say then I demanded.
They said, is he sure he doesn’t want sit down...

Nowadays I just accept the seat.

Also I was in Budapest a couple years ago, very nice, very cosmopolitan.
Then I did the bus tour. We stopped at one spot where the announcer told us this was the Yugoslav embassy where the president sought sanctuary in 1956 during the uprising. The Russians came into the city and he was handed over to them. He was shot in the square. That was in my lifetime .,

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.
 
My dad lived in the reigns of six British monarchs, I'm bound to say. (And a tad horrified)
