Middle aged Man problems

[Kurt.]

Back ache. Can't read my phone without glasses. Re-pointing walls..

I went to the pub tonight …. Not been in ages … as soon as I got there I was fuming as I’d forgotten my glasses .. had so many messages I couldn’t read

This is already happening. I tore a muscle in my calf having a kick about with my lad about 6 months ago FFS.

I had a cricket knock around with my 17yr old godson and my mate, his dad last summer in a local park. I felt great. I banged them around the park batting, I bowled them out (my mate got bowled 3 times in 4 balls) and fielded brilliantly and mercilessly*

It was 5 months until I could walk properly again.

* This may be kopite levels of delusion because they were shoite at the cricket and I was like the pe teacher in Kes.

Anybody here on statins? I’ve said I’ll take them for 3 months to get my cholesterol back down along with eating more sensibly and I’m exercising again now.

Can be genetic as well, so doesn't matter how much you exercise or what you eat. Been taking them (because of heart) for a few years now. Water pills (diuretics) also don't help with the getting up in the night to pee aspect.

Added: Worryingly, my stomach has also recently decided it now can't deal with German beer. (There goes the bottle of dark bock beer with the match.)

Every time me and my lad go for a hit at the cricket nets it takes me about 3 days to recover. It's absolutely pathetic

Just got Pulsatile tinnitus it’s driving me round the bend, anyone else? And is there any medication I can take?

Middle age is a mixed bag innit ….. your kids have left home, you get more free time , hopefully get to keep more of your own money etc … but with middle age comes a host of other problems.. one being the following…

Why does the hair on your head stop growing but the hair in your ears , your nose and your eyebrows grows like a jungle ??

The kind Albanian money launderer (sorry, Turkish barber) sorts this: trims the eyebrows and flame grills the nose and ears.

 

[Pootsy]

I have always had notoriously small balls, walnuts if you will, now....like a cricket ball in a carrier bag. I am so proud

Don't want to dampen your spirits here but the 'Veg' actually shrink with age. Sounds like a Hydrocele issue. Find a good looking lady doctor (or a man if thats you inclination) and get them checked.

Genuine ones from me

1. The drip lasting longer than the actual pee

Brilliant! I nearly dripped myself.

I am sooooo a yellow label warrior. Often it designates what will be for tea in Chez Pootsy.

Genuine ones from me

1. The drip lasting longer than the actual pee
2. Becoming a yellow label ninja
3. Being confused by anything and everythin
4. Dizzy spells followed by wondering if you’re about to meet the big man
5. Treasuring your handwritten notes
6. Owning several pairs of expensive headphones
7. One pair of trabs that go with everything
8. Same with coat

Yellow label warriors huh? Like, the sorta folk who pounce when the supermarket staffer is labelling up stuff on their trolly, often pretty aggressively moving in to block folk's path to get first dibs?

I've seen this and I'm convinced at some point some older folk are gonna start peeing on the trolley/reduced area to mark their territory.

Absolutely not.

I’m 52, but I fear I’ve lost some already.

I do not remember you taking this

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Absolutely not.

I'm taking this as a "yes".

Thats the long drip fella! Don't shame us. It'll happen to you.

 

[larbert toffee]

I can’t sleep a full night without getting up to pee at least once.

Unfortunately this is usually half an hour before my alarm, I then have a dilemma, get up or miss out on a half hour sleep, I usually go for the latter and fall asleep about 5 mins before my alarm then wished I'd just got up in the first place
