Evidence that you're getting oldYouthful as I am, I realised yesterday that I no-longer know, or care, who is #1 in the charts. Furthermore, it takes all day to get rid of a hangover and I now seem to have a profound interest in gardening. Worst is that I now use words like 'furthermore'.
What makes you think that you are getting old?

Ooh! And another few...When I moan to my wife that all there is to do when you go out these days is watch rubbish action movies at the cinema (too loud anyway) rather than something with a nice story, or go to bars and drink alcopops and listen to loud, repetitive music...
Or when I constantly bemoan the spelling and grammar of youg people these days. I find myself nodding vigorously when some old-duffer MP says kids need discipline and the occasional good thrashing...
Or laughing at the in-jokes on Woman's Hour on Radio 4 (and I'm a chap!!)...
Or calling men 'chaps' instead of blokes / mates / geezers what-have-you...
Or lecturing the 13 year olds hanging around outside my local off-licence when they ask if I can buy them some cigarettes or alcohol...
Dear God. I have become my Father :(
