It's the thin ones embedded in soft skin that are the problem. The thick ones come out easily enough.

That your balls will end up resembling two breaker marbles in a tube sock....and that you might accidentally sit on your own balls whilst getting seated in an airplane seat

Squats and deadlifts are your friend
Otherwise you are going to have to get someone to help you get off the shitter when you get older

You hope that when you fart that its a fart......
Your arm get shorter making shoe lace tying fun.....
You need a bucket to put all you plastic bits in....teeth, glasses, hearing aide, etc
Get used to setting alarms off at the airport with your prosthetic hip......
Reading till 4am till youre tired enough to go to sleep.....
Combing your hair in front of a selfie instead of a mirror.......
Two walks a night......
Gout when you eat snhellfish and drink red wine or port.....
Forgetting where you put tye post it to remind you to do something.....
Doing quizes and a crosswrd with mr google.....
Having to use a rubber kneeler when gardening......
.............and rembering to take your pills each day.
But its great to be alive seeing what you kids and grandkids are up to.

Well at 38 I'm not really old yet, but I have noticed a few things in the last 5 years or so. Longer recovery times, a few skin blemishes, and just a bit slower off the mark when playing sport.
Oh yeah, and some hairs in my ear. Wtf

They're not the only orifices so inflicted. You have been warned.
38 is a bit early for that, though.

Ear hairs. Ear hairs that become bristly and long if not given regular attention.

Waking up and parts of you are already achy. WTAF?
Tolerance for alcohol decreases and it takes longer to recover from hangovers

Yes. Two day hangovers are a regular occurance. Occasionally three day
I get that weird terrible night sleep when I'm hungover now, and wake up the next day feeling as bad as I did the day before.

I concur. TB is going to end up one of those bald auld fuckers with what looks like black parsley growing out of their ears.

Avoid sitting down for long periods of time. It's the sweat mate, the acid sweat.

I give the twig and berries a good dusting of corn starch baby powder in the morning and pack a bit in the ass crack as well to cut down on any chaffing.

On the plus side, when you hit a nice tuft with the trimmer the noise of evil hair being mangled is very satisfying.

Any old white witches remedy to cure it? Or do I just need to stitch in ventilation to my leg garments?

Corn baby starch powder.. interesting. I’m seeing myself like Ross from Friends after he tries to get his skin tight black leather jeans off when entertaining a lady friend. Sounds messy.
Ask your lady friend if she likes biscuits... if not jump in the shower first.

Several sociable pints at a class reunion last Saturday night. 7 pints and two shorts. Felt dreadful all day yesterday and not great today either.

Seriously, how old are you guys?
I'm 48 and, admittedly, I can't cane it till gone midnight with impunity as I used to, but give me 8 hours sleep after a heavy night and I'm golden. Even a weeknight 6-8 pints as long as my head hits the pillow by 12 for a 6.30 alarm and I'm fine. I do avoid shots though
The nose/ear hair thing is an issue though and I've also started to get the odd mad eyebrow.
