...you try and hang a packet of cough sweets (left pocket) on the key hook instead of the car key fob (right pocket) 🙄😃 

.......you've got a packet of cough sweets in your pocket anyway! You'll know it's got really bad when you start sucking the key fob!

I keep finding myself talking about something I did "recently"  -  and then realising it was 10 years ago........!

Your purchasing a prescription for Viagra online 😂

Well I don't need them yet atall but thought I'd try them out on myself and the wife 

Got 28 50mg last week, 

Took 7 minutes to take affect from 0-60 😅 my legs gave in after 41 minutes 

Deflated after three hours 

Had to face away from the car when closing the door for fear of catching it.

 

If you were a car it would probably be called a lift kit!

You certainly know you're getting older when you attend more funerals year by year.

Dipped Lights and main beam  Now known as Headlamps high beam and low beam  (Sounds a  bit gymnastic IMHO.  lol)

I remember when you pressed a switch on the floor beside the clutch pedal with your left foot to dip the headlights and changed gear by means of a lever on the steering column, known as 'column change' which was usually 3 speed and reverse. Does this mean that I'm not getting old but actually am old?

...the new neighbours appear to be 12 years old....honestly, when did they allow school kids to rent flats!?  

Apparently they're in their 20's and I'm just getting old.

It's a serious problem nowadays, school kids every where. They let them be doctors and policemen, drive buses and trains, even seen one piloting an aircraft!😀

Remembering having to thump the door pillar to get the right semaphore indicator arm to come out when turning right.

My first and third cars had a floor mounted dip switch, which were actually pretty useful, I thought. Never had a car with column change but driven a few, quite popular at one time to permit seating for 3 across the front bench seat. Usually in conjunction with an umbrella handbrake on the dash, though some had a floor mounted lever to the right of the drivers seat.

So, sadly, I think the answer to your question is "yes, but you're not alone!" 😀

I'm the same with our kids teachers, some of them are more like the pupils than the pupils are!!!

Woods is my/our surname first name lenny or is this case it was Leonard 😂

It was experimental so I monitored the time and held neutral thoughts in order to provoke anything lol

She seems a bit happier anyway 🤷‍♂️ walked the dog without complaining; she did say the guy next door shouted over to ask if she was trying for number four.

I'm not too pleased about that atall nothing to do with him what goes on in my house. Although it was 10am when everyone was out working and the kids were in school; he must have came home during the 43 minute ordeal 

I also remember that there was a starting handle included in the toolkit, tyres were 500x15 cross ply and the spare wheel and tyre was a real one not one of these skinny get you home at 30mph ones, some new cars now I believe don't even come with a spare, it's an extra option, how stupid is that! There was a time when the paint on cars was thicker than the metal on newer ones!

We've got a '66 plate Qashqai and it's got a bottle of gunk and a pump! No use if you get more than a nail in your tyre, and you have to replace the tyre AND the TMPS if you use it! Absolute madness! Trying to source a spare and jack etc that doesn't cost an arm and a leg🙄

Either that or your belly is the same size! Some call it 'middle age spread' others call it 'falling apart'.

They had to change the dipped headlights to low beam because people kept driving into lakes, (old Joke)

Not so bad as leaving your landing light on and next morning finding your house full of aeroplanes!

You know your old when you remember getting Olive Oil from the chemist and it wasn't for cooking.

Oh aye, olive oil for your ears.

Even though I'm only just 40, all I want nowadays is a nice comfy car to drive, Radio 2 and a tin of travel sweets from my local garden center
