And no longer a slave to men's fashion when your Mrs buys you a pair of Mambo
trainers for $3 cos 'They are ok to take the dogs out in'.And you dont mind .
In my defense tho I have just spent the last 10 mins blacking out the shocking white logo that covers half the side of the trainer with a felt tip pen.

For my 40th my wife bought me slippers. The first pair i ever owned. It was all downhill after that. She recently threw them away after 10 years and replaced them with new less comfortable ones which arent the same so i hardly wear them. |  | | |

It takes longer to cut/trim all the "fluffy bits" around the edges (incl ears!) than the hair on your bloody head.

When you enter the Fifth Stage of Manhood.
Was working in Lourdes a couple of weeks ago as part of a huge team. It included two seventeen-year old girls. Stunners, and beautiful people to boot. My mate and I were discussing them last week, and we both agreed that we were very 'fond' of them, and that we had nothing but platonic thoughts about them.
This surprised us to say the least. Plato and ourselves had never met before, and we'd be no great fans of his work. I told my mate a theory of mine about the six stages of manhood, and how I now thought we had entered the fifth stage, where you know you shouldn't fancy certain young women, so you simply don't.
I'm as surprised as anyone, believe me. It won't last.
The Six Stages Of Manhood
Stage 1: Too young to fancy anyone
Stage 2: Fancy everything, but too young
Stage 3: Fancy everything, game on
Stage 4: Fancy everything, but shouldn't
Stage 5: Shouldn't fancy everything, so don't
Stage 6: Fancy everything again, but too old. |  |

Shot Knees Top Ten Getting Old SIgns are:-
1. When you think England could win the World Cup again.
2. When you get excited when the weather comes on BBC at 7.45 am every morning.
3. When you get excited when you see roadkill waiting for you on the verge of the A47.
4. When you forget your bus pass and have to pay real money to ride on the bloody thing.
5. When you start swearing at snails that have eaten your tomato, cucumber, courgette and lettuce seedlings the night before.
6. When you write this post the first time, and press the wrong upload button and have to start the post all over again from memory.
7. When you forget that SWP played over 20 games for England.
8. When your knees hurt going up and down the stairs.
9. When you look forward to Beyond Our Ken and Round The Horne from the 60's being broadcast on Radio 4 Extra.
10.When you are shaving, you wonder who that old phooker is in the mirror who is looking at you.
How many of you can tick more than 6 of those indicators? [Post edited 10 Jun 2014 8:03]

Very true Brian.I think I am in stage 5 too.The other side of stage 5 is that you are not bothered if anyone fancy's yourself.Hence me not worrying about stepping out with the dogs in Mambo trainers.Its quite liberating not giving a f@ck tbh...
No more gym ,no more fancy grooming ,no more fancy ,expensive designer clobber,no more worrying about where to go on the weekend,what you've missed. Yeah its pretty cool to be an old grunter.
Christ only an old grunter would say the above... | |

After reading that other thread it's confirmed what I always thought, that most men are stuck at phase 4 of Brian's list. An ex of mine said that he knew he was old when it was difficult to put his socks on without some effort - his dad used to huff and puff and he used to look on him with pity and then suddenly he was there with no warning - that is your sure sign. I think the worry about the garden issues that ShotKnee mentions are more middle age than old age - I'm refusing to get bothered with gardening issues for that very reason. You know you're old as a woman when men just don't even give you a passing look - not there yet  |  | | |

As I age when I look around me I can see the older person in the younger person, and the younger person in the older person (i.e. through experience I can see how one thing comes to be another thing). |  |

you know when your getting old when
you spend more time plucking ear & nose hair than doing your own hair
you start appreciating Real Ale
your missus starts buying your clothes
telling your kids how the 80 & 90's were the good old days
when you start acting & sounding like your own dad |  |

I went to Epsom for the Oaks on friday. Huge amount of twentysomething girls in ridiculously scanty clothing totally pissed up. All I could think of was I am not letting my six year old daughter do that when she is older. And get annoyed about the amount of tattoos..... |  | | |
