When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I new I was getting old when for the 1st. time "Top Of The Pops" was on and I didn't watch it??? :eek:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were getting on!!!
 

Using that rule of thumb I must have been getting old when I was 25:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Well, I was under the impression that I was still a 'young thing'....then my illusion was shattered by himself. We were lying in bed(now don't get any daft ideas here) and he said to me 'Do you realise, we are getting old?'
My response was 'I don't care, it beats the hell out of the alternative!'

I suppose my realisation that I am 'getting on' as you put it, came when I got down on my knees to do something....and struggled to get back to my feet.

Re: When did you 1st notice you were getting on!!!
 

Actually Margaret your quite lucky really, I can't even get up now:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Oh, I do consider myself lucky John........I take no medications, and I consider myself to be fit. I can walk long distances, have not much trouble pushing Ma about in her chair.
I have all my mental faculties.....my hearing is good...my eyesight is faltering a bit.......other than that, I am tickety-boo.

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I am not as good as I once was but I am as good once as I ever was!!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Have a few minor things,like am pretty deaf, but as fer getting owd, I never grew up.:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I went to an AGS old boys meeting a couple of years ago. I walked in the room and thought 'Good heavens, what a load of old codgers, nobody my age here!'. Then as we swapped names I realised some of them were from my year and they were OLD. Went home, looked in the mirror and suddenly realised!
If Bob Dobson reads this- don't worry, Bob, you were the exception, you haven't changed a bit!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I haven't noticed yet

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You are getting old! Top of the Pops hasn't been on since 2006 and you haven't noticed?

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

MY top of the pops ended with Sony and Cher.

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!

"Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on?"

When I started reading the Daily Mail and agreed with most of the opinions it espoused.

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When my girlfriend started slipping Viagara into my beer:rolleyes:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When my girlfriend started slipping it into my mates beer????

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

In the spirit of the original post:
When you ask a friend "How are you doing?" and in reply you get the polysyllabic names of all the medications they are taking!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When my NHS chiropodist warned me that I was to be struck off her list because I must not be ill enough - not seen a doc or had a prescription for 3 or 4 years.

She asked me to name the nutritional supplements, herbs, vitamins and minerals I take instead.
I said 'how long do we have left for this appointment?' - then 'forget it!'

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I'm shocked!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I knew I was getting old when all the albums (CD etc) I had were greatest hits!!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Shocked by what I said? or by Jaysay not knowing what I meant? ;)

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Probably both:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

My wife gives me one everynight, she says it stops me falling out of bed.:silly:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

you know your old when you pull out your favourite album and the kids ask where you got the giant cd from :)

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You know your gettin old when you have to try to explain shillings and pence to someone in their 30's :(

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Your definitely getting old when policemen look like high school kids

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Jaysay, if I was only twenty I think those tiny lady Community Officers would still look like high school kids!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When I was in hospital recently someone said oh, here's the doctor and I burst out with You're kidding!! He looked about 15. Nice, and efficient though, and I did apologise later...

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When you have to explain a "B" side :(

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When you have a special stick for stirring paint. :eek:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

What's a B side?

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Booger off you, I'm not having that !!! :D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were getting on!!!
 

Whoops! Have recently got new lenses -should be safe for now:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were getting on!!!
 

Na it was a long time ago and I don't bother looking now, the mind isn't even willing these days, never mind the body:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I can remember doing the inductions for the new junior Doctors and remarking to a colleague that they were young enough to be wiping (breast) milk from around their mouths.
You can do more with them though, if you catch 'em young :D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

What about those noises you make when you bend down, or get out of the chair :couchplus

Re: When did you 1st notice you were getting on!!!
 

Your not moving with the times Dave, my chair stands me up now:Dno creaking necessary

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were getting on!!!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You know your gettin on when driving into Blackpool no one says "1st one to see Blackpool Tower gets a toffee apple".

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Ya know your getting old when somebody says Blackpool and you say, "You are joking arn't you":D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When you say "Blackpools too noisy for me"

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Its really bad when you say St Ann's is to noisy for me:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You must be well old. Older than me

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

66 next BD hopefully:rolleyes:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You've got 3 years on me

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

We're both in what cashy calls the old farts league:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

As both my sons say "you are correct"

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You should have made the most of it it went off air in July 2006! :rolleyes: Now I bet your saying to "we used to have a program called Top of the pops!" Never mind they still have one on Christmas day! :)

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Kids today don't do "pop" music. Some have never heard of the Beatles??????

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

That's rather a sweeping statement - how large a sample has brought you to that conclusion? - are there many children in St Annes? (ie.having their 1st experience of childhood)

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

The people I work with are on average in their late teens to early twenties. There are NO children in St.Annes not a one but millions in Blackpool where I work.

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

I have 5 grandchildren, all in early twenties, all can play an instrument, and two perform in public regularly.

They 'do' pop music - that is popular now.
Music has moved on since the Beatles and we shouldn't expect it to be any different.

I enjoyed big band swing in my youth.
Every generation has its own music.
We shouldn't expect our children to like what we liked.

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

That's me told then, thanks!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Another thread killed!!!!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When I realised death is inevitable! :rolleyes:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When 'life saving' means 'death postponing' because you have had a lot of life already.

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Not always Margaret:rolleyes:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

That's right ;) Well I've had normal health, wasn't born with any illnesses never been seriously ill - so you take it for granted, even Amy Winehouses dad said this - that when your in your 20's/30's you think you'll live for ever!

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Heres one that didn't expect to live fer ever, when i was in me twenties.:D seems i beat the clock.......so far.:alright:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

It's the normal psychological state for a human not to think of death as we are geared for survival - if you were ill then that's a different matter! :confused:

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Not ill at all, just very O.T.T.:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

Too many dodgy substances with your cornflakes! ;)

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

And still are:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You mean joints! :):):) Err I mean pains in the Joints!:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

You can tell you're getting old when you start going to matinees so that you can get home early "to get settled".

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

There'd have to be a morning showing for me Balbus:D

Re: When did you 1st notice you were gettin on!!!
 

When the candles cost more than the cake !!!!
