    Once you get to 50, they say expect your memory to start fading. Yesterday, I rang regular hairdressers, arranged for an appointment for this morning. . When she asked my name, it was at that point I suddenly realised I actually had it cut a week or so ago, I panicked and actually gave a false name! Was too embarrassed to ring back and cancel. I was ringing from my mobile so was scared stiff she recognised me or was going to ring me back!
    Anyone had any growing old moments?

    You make appointments at a hairdresser's? <yikes>

    I always thought you were male.

    That's the advantage of being older, you can think about all sorts of things like that, and then forget them. <ok>

    That made me smile! I am 58 and increasingly find that I do daft things like that. My big downfall is peoples names - it can be really embarrassing. We were talking about how your memory goes the other night in the pub (I forget which one) and it turns out that although none of us had talked about it before, one way or another we all have some sort of memory failings. I turned up at a meeting last week exactly on time - only trouble was that I was a week early.

    You're not kidding Askew.
    I even can get a shower, completely wash myself, wash hair then totally forget I've washed myself.
    I then have to wash myself again just in case.
    God knows what it's like for Dennis with the amount of alcohol he consumes must be nightmare.:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0167-beer::emoticon-0148-yes:

    A pet hate (and that gets worse as I get older, maybe realising I aint gonna be here for ever?)is I hate sat around waiting for anything. I rang ahead expecting them to be able to fit me in. When they couldn't that added to my getting flustered. I just hope John didn't let her down this morning

    Getting a motorbike is another common attempt to fix a midlife crisis.

    I'm still in my 20s so might not qualify for the thread but now when I've got man flu, I sit and remember the times when I didn't have man flu and how I took it for granted haha :p

    I was trying to avoid that phrase <laugh>

    I think I'd kill myself if I got a motorbike, I struggle to stick to the speed limit in a car never mind a bike

    He does always forget its his round. Also explains why he tells Mrs Dennis he only had a couple.

    Discomfort sitting down, a warm sensation at the back of the knee and a foul odour are clues to look for. <ok>
