Getting old - the pros and cons

[Ben]

Now this could well appeal to some of the forums more senior members.

i'm 30 in a bit, and for the last couple of years i have been refered to as old by the o/h (23) for a while, i know she is only joking though, and yes i am sure.

If i go out of an evening i know that i start to feel tired by 11.30 pm whereas 10 years ago 2 am would be easy.

what are the pros and cons of getting old? what could you do then that now you may struggle?

Most things, dodgy knee, iffy back

Actually I feel the same as I did when I was 20, thing is when I try to do a few of those things....

bad hips and hangovers that last weeks rather than hours and forgetting where you have put your car keys

Me too, she is always reminding me on things she has said.... not sure who is losing their memory most though

People's names are my worst problem. Just the other day I met a chap I worked with only a couple of years ago. After we had said our goodbyes I remembered his name, but only his first name

I'm still mid twenties, the pro is that teenage girls find you a bit more interesting B-)

You'll have to explain that a bit more for me. It sounds interesting.

Believe me when you turn 30, things start to ache

I'm now 35 and my short term memory is not as good...long term is great, What i did yesterday is fuzzy
