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?

Quite worryingI spend most of my time listening to Radio Two. Going to a club and listening to Dance/R&B music bores me stupid. I would rather listen to the Eagles, Aerosmith, The Who than listen to most of the top 20 - in fact, I'm not entirely sure who is in the top 20 charts, singles or albums.
Using long words. Correcting others' speech/punctuation/spelling. Using proper English in a text message. Lack of memory causing me to edit this post for the third time (so far) to add more points.
Midlife crisis? I am growing my hair and beard long, and already have a tattoo and motorbike.
I get strange looks when purchasing bumper packs of Chupa Chups (I have a craving, ok?). I carry around a notebook to "jot things down that interest me". Footballers and famous actors seem younger than me. Rather than go down the pub I prefer to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea. Whereas most of my friends read the Sun and the Mirror, I read the Independent.
I turned 20 two months ago.
