At about 6am this morning the realisation that Groove is in the Heart is over 30 years old popped into mind. Having just checked, Lady Kier is 57.
Wish I hadn't checked - I've just had to remove her from the wank bank.
- Question we all ask ourselves: Do young kids today think see "Groove is in the Heart" the same way I saw 50-60s music when I was young?drgs
- why? you cannot fuck a 57 year old?dkoblesky
- @drgs - Back to the Future went back to '55. If that happened today, it'd be '91 - so.. pesumably. I'm going to go kill myself now. Bye.Nairn
- i was messaging with someone. as a reference joke i send them a beavis and butt-head clip. their reaction was: how old are you? :)renderedred
- and i thought i was "hip" and young with that move. does that answer anything for you @drgs ;)renderedred
- DJ TOWA TEI! Just released new album this year.shapesalad

- The pictures I saw when I searched for an image of her in 2020 imply <that is a heavily-edited photo.Nairn
- ..or not too recent, obviously.Nairn

- you're 62?monospaced
- Did he fucking stutter, mono?Gnash
- yeah. I'm 62 and they still let me in here.
ad yeah...that is a very posed and styled photos. she probably looks a lot older than that in person...so do Idkoblesky - she says in her tumblr that is within the last year....dkoblesky
- Someone's older than me? I turned 58 on Wednesday.CyBrainX
- Did he fucking stutter, CyBrainX?monospaced
- Happy birthday man! Hope you’re doing well.monospaced
- hahahaha loving this :)
I'm 48, and thought I was likely the oldest NT'er still hanging out here... SO lovely to know I have great company :)exador1 - Same, I thought most folks on here were in their 30s. I'm 46 in a month, and getting grayer every day.5timuli
- Fuck me, I'm just a kid, I'm 47.Continuity
- I have a photo of me with her from around 2003 and she does not look good at all. The right makeup does wonders.nb

Lotta downsides to getting old. Here is an upside when it comes to enjoying women.
When you are in your 20s, really only women in their 20s and maybe early 30s seemed attractive to you...and so on....
...but when you get older, the number of women who are attractive to you grows exponentially
So when you are 60, you get to enjoy seeing women as attractive who are 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, and 20s.
Bonus!
- which is in inverse proportion to the number of women who find me attractivedrgs
- by age...perhaps. but those older women...dig you....don't forgetdkoblesky
- A problem for men is in their mind's eye sex can only be had with a hot 20 something.....and the reality is....a lot of women NOT like that want to have sex...dkoblesky

At what point did I start hate leaving the house? I’d rather a weekend of whisky weed, documentaries or political podcasts than socialise.

Not necessarily an age thing but I pinched my nerves on almost the whole back when I sneezed and now my back hurts like hell. Every time I bend or do a certain movement it stings bad.
- I went through that a couple months back, get more active, meanwhile you can use a back roller to work out those knots that are probably pinching nervesGuyFawkes
- happened to me when it got cold & I started surfing lessGuyFawkes
- wait, "sneezed" is it your lower back?GuyFawkes
- I once sneezed and was bed ridden for a month, everyone said do yoga, to stretch out the hip-flexors that are pulling down everything fucking you upGuyFawkes
- No, more like concentrated in the middleNBQ00
- but that was too slow for me, I set up a heavy bag in my office and I kick the fuck out of it daily, that did wonders for my hip-flexorsGuyFawkes
- but that was me and my case, I would go to a dr dudeGuyFawkes
- ^^^ yeah back shit sucks man, were getting old brother.GuyFawkes
- A colleague of mine sneezed a hole in his intestines, now wears a colostomy bag
Welcome to the clubdrgs - my work out routine largely revolves around 1½ hours walking each day, and dancing like a twat to Yuekit tunes whilst I work in the studio here.Nairn
- ^^@drgs holy fuckGuyFawkes

^^^ I think I've gone through some sort of mid-life sneeze puberty in the last few years - I simulate the sound of a TIE fighter attacking a tyrannosaurus with my face 3 times daily. I may explode

I used to think about sex every minute....now I think about sex every other minute

when you get your first shot of vaccine....
- Ooh! Crikey, you in a high risk group?Nairn
- not that i'm aware of. just mistaken for an old person i guesshans_glib
- People who've had flu vaccinations over the past few years have been included in The List, afaik - I know a few who've had NHS notices, suggesting..Nairn
- ..they're high-risk and should shelter or get vaccinated. M and a friend, both of whom are otherwise healthy but had flu shots during pregnancy, for instance.Nairn
- AM puhsing for her to get vaccinated, because fuck does she need to go home and visit her family. Preventing Italians from going home is a war crime.Nairn
- update, a day later: 'er indoors is getting her jab on Saturday, yaay!Nairn

- Thanks Guys!! sounds it sounds like i have still some time.milfhunter

I discussed having my back waxed with my partner last night.
It was a bit of a watershed moment.
- pics?drgs
- haha, no, god no.
the patterning is so odd.
so disgustingly odd.Nairn - did you mention a while ago you're ginger? I don't think I've ever seen ginger back hair, please post a pic.fadein11
- This is so going on the frontpagedrgs

- Annnnnd Homepage!! LOLOBBTKN
- oh no. hahaha
It's not ^^that bad, nor anywhere near. It's like weird pubic outcroppings, trying desperately to describe angel wings.Nairn - yeaaaah maybe time to stop digging that holehans_glib
- from a female perspective waxing is the best hair removal. Its removed from the root, takes way longer to grow back, & when it does its not stubble its softer.shellie
- :) Aye, that's pretty much what she said - she was aghast when I suggested I was just going to go at it all with a new razor.Nairn
- @shellie wins these comments. "...from a female perspective" is a phrase that literally exists once on QBN; we need much more of it!!!
: )ideaist - On a side note: finding grey in your pubes is definitely a little frightening. made me feel MUCH older than finding grey head hairhardhat
- There's literally nothing worse that cuddling up on a guy with sharp stubble coming out of his back. By all means do not use razor.shellie
- My skin doesn't like waxing, so the alternative is using hair removal creams like Nair. you put it on (without rubbing in) like lotion then wash it off.shellie
- Nair breaks down the hair with chemicals also down to the root. its supposed to be safe but I worry about chemicals so if you can, waxing is more natural.shellie
- What's going on here? I'll help you do it if you have any concerns. Like Shellie says, waxing is the best way mate!!Ianbolton
- I shaved mine (and my pubes) when i was in my early weirdo/experimental twenties and the itch and spots were fucking ridiculous. Never again.Ianbolton
- lolGuyFawkes
- Back skin is tough, so hair removal cream sounds ideal. For everything else, if you are a guy: trim, not shavedrgs
- Will you do the Man-o-lantern too?Wolfboy
- Man O'lantern gets flambéd each MichaelmasNairn
- We're going to need a follow up btw.shellie
- My bf is Persian & I help him achieve a natural separated brow by plucking but he hates it. Guys have more sympathy for womens grooming 1ce its their turn lol.shellie
- This post, and its corresponding notes, really delivers.Continuity
- I've had my back waxed. If you do it, go see a pro, don't let the missus have at it. There's a night and day difference.noneck
- And it's weird. Your shirt feels like it's sticking to you all the time.noneck

last week my entire town was blanketed in snow. The city doesn't plow my neighborhood so the streets were covered for days. I saw two neighborhood parents in their full size SUVs dragging their kids on sleds with ropes behind their vehicles. Some of the kids were as young as my 5 year old son and didn't even have helmets on.
I know I did this as a teenager with my idiot friends but every year I read horror stories of someone accidentally killing their kids doing this shit.
So I must be getting old because I was so pissed off at these people putting their kids in danger like that.

I turned 50 this weekend. Officially, i'm delaying a monumental party for 12months due to The Covid. (BTW, you're all invited).
However, all was not lost, my wife and kids delivered birthday excellence despite the lockdown. Favourite breakfast, in bed...a treasure hunt... international birthday video calls...cider...cider...cider... (The finest burgers on earth)...and a cinema evening with all the snackage. A great day.
Oh and some goddamn genius bought me Lego. So, whilst i suppose i am actually old, i don't feel it. Never have.
Young at heart is where it's at.
- after the third 'cider, it should say OPM, but it magically disappeared http://originalpatty…Morning_star
- Happy birthday :)
Original patty men - nice!fadein11 - Congrats! Great perspective you've got there. I hope my 50th turns out at nicenocomply

My right eye had gotten blurry when reading text. Perfect vision my whole life.
Sigh.
- Yeah, I remember the day I realized that I needed glasses for work.lemmy_k
- *drops head, bumps fist in the airNairn
- Mine is getting worse by the year. I can no longer squint through it.shellie
- i was squinting for two years before i got reading glasses :)renderedred
- I had this problem in my mid 40s. I eventually got progressive lenses which are fantastic. The only issue is fogging in the winter while wearing a mask.CyBrainX
- I used crappy £1 reading glasses I found in a bag I inherited TWICE this last few days - reading washing instructions for a jacket and a quinoa cooking guide.Nairn
- They now have a semi-permanent place in a storage bowl in the kitchen.
I should probably get an eye test and get some decent glasses.Nairn
