Miss the 90s and the raves? No longer recognise the players in the England team? Coppers getting younger? Can't hang a wet towel off it anymore? No idea what a 67 is? Too proud to seek therapy?
Get it off your chest here. The worst things about being a middle aged bloke

They just opened a massive new M&S in the centre of Bristol. I almost cried for my younger self when I heard myself telling colleagues that I was going to pop down and check out the new M&S at lunchtime. I've become middle-aged and middle class. Boom.
I feel like being happy about an M&S opening near work is one thing - but yeah, making a point out of talking about it with people elevates it to Supremely Middle-Aged Tier

Never mind looking like my dad (well, I look more like my mum actually), I now look like my granddad.... said it to my brother recently and he chuckled away with his full head of hair and two new hips.
Prostate issues, arthritis, binge sessions limited to once every couple of months, hate going to gigs now, too many people... Ach, it is what it is. At least we have wisdom now, eh lads? Yes?? If only the youngsters would listen....

My least favourite part of going to QPR is having to stand up whenever anything positive happens. Between the non-existent knee room and my own failing limbs I just can't be c*nted with standing up to see that we almost got a corner.
Although, to be fair, it is rather exciting when we almost get a corner,

The hairdresser taking just 5 minutes and majority of that is taken up trimming my eyebrows
Used to joke with Andy, my old barber in Brixton (the place was actually called ‘Haircut, Sir?’) that he should be charging me less as my hairline began to recede because he didn’t have as much work to do. His counter-argument was that he should be charging me more because it was taking him longer and longer to find any work worth doing.

i said for many years, no way will i end up being a grumpy old bugger like my dad, was in his later years. And i said to myself, i will try and take all the best character traits from my mum and dad and ignore all the bad ones....
However !!!!! Reality strikes !!!
Actually, when you already are aware, you are turning into your old man, you realise middle age is starting to become a more distant memory !!!
ha, a week living off of hallucinogenics and UV rays... "reinvigorated" wasn't quite the word that came to mind tbh!
It's one of these where I'm going to regret it whatever I do: Don't go - missed out. Go - destroyed myself 1000s of miles from home...
You will enlighten your mind open it and let the life experience in. Just dont get de hydrated you will only regret not going ! I have enough regrets you have an opportunity to do what most cant or won't do it.!!!
Ps visit the massage marquee for me :)

Getting your 'roid cream and Deep Heat tubes mixed up.
One of the finalists on The Great British Bake Off absent-mindedly mixed up his ingredients and put citric acid rather than salt into his signature bake , ruining his chances, so no need for you to feel bad.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

When I had retina surgery they had to drain the fluid in my eyeball. Floaters disappeared as the fluid came back over the next few weeks.
I suffer from frequent migraines but find the eye floaters much more difficult to deal with because they're always there. I'm sure they're not that bad, certainly not compared to actually losing your eyesight but they cause me more bother than all my other age related deterioration combined...so far.
Having my eyeballs drained to fix it sounds a bit extreme though.
