As most of us are ‘middle’ age to say the least on here, what surprises you about it?
1 pitfall
1 positive
For me I’ve got more hair growing out my ears and nose than on my head
Benefit is I’m going slightly deaf (ear plugs what they?) so I can ignore the wife and blame my hearing. 👍

For me the pitfall is the middle aged spread...
The benefit is I can afford to make it 'spreadier'.

Positive - youngsters tend to think I know what I am talking about.
Negative - what was I talking about?
And how many times do you get to the top of the stairs - pause to remember why you went upstairs and the return empty handed. 🤦♂️

It's complete and utter shite. Surprises about it? Yes.. the speed at which your body f**ks up... For many there are no benefits.

Never used to have memory probs but then was on "Gabbies" for about 18 months for nerve pains and it fecked my head
Now as said before I remember useless crap from years ago. Can remember every reg number I've had
However I can make my wife a bacon bitty and a year on from the problem I can never remember if it's ketchup or brown sauce which does her nut in
It just won't stick in my head
So negative is my memory is sometimes shagged
Positive is I've an excuse when I forget to do things

That’s some bad shite mate. I am terrible with my memory always have been. I can barely remember any reg numbers only a couple stick out. If it’s not important it’s in and out like a sieve. Weird work stuff, sentences , report structures etc even from years ago not a problem. This has got worse over the years there are times I completely forget shit so I write it all down if wifey asks me to go to the shop to get something and it’s not written down I have to keep repeating it in my head otherwise I forget not helped by nearest village shop is 4 miles away.

Is that the same “local” shop for “local” people? |

There’s nothing for you here unless you are local.
We don’t like strangers.
