Cant sit down on the floor with my legs crossed (not that I find much reason to do that nowadays) or my right knee will painfully dislocate, woohoo!!

Also can't go out on a mindless drinking binge without paying for it for 3 days.

Oh, and I appear to have lost the ability to hear anything that anyone says to me in a noisy club.

Go out on a Friday night. I'm usually that knackered after a week at work that i'm falling asleep by 9.30!

My knee's knackered too and i'm only 29!

I agree with the drinking comments, the hangovers last for ages now! I feel past it already

I can no longer look down and see my *****, or my toes. All I see now is a fat hairy belly.

I can't get up at 3 am in the morning to go fishing anymore and cannot get up to go fishing in the winter full stop.

I also cannot go the the pub and get wasted anymore takers me far too long to recover.

now I'm in my 30's I don't really feel any different to when I was in my 20's, just need a bit more sleep. I've been going to the gym since I was 20 so I put feeling good now down to that.

I certainly can't go out on the drink like I used to & I can't stay up to the wee hours any more without paying the price for the next few days

I find it really difficult to motivate myself to get on my MTB, but once there I'm fine...

Used to do 100's of miles a week.... once !

Try as I like, I can't work out how one can kneel down with the upper and lower legs parallel to the back.

Do you think thats why you can't do it now, and how did you manage before?

I think they teach that pose to guys in orange jumpsuits in Cuba................


I can't kneel down for more than a minute or two, if I sit on a hard seat, like a kitchen chair, for more than 20 minutes I loose all feeling in my legs, my liver has gone on strike so no more beer monstering and my back is knackered. Apart from that I'm fine for a fat, unfit 44, nearly 45 year old. (Ignoring the gout and hypertension!)
