Evidence that you're getting old
Youthful 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?

Fossilised!
I remember record players before they were called 'turntables' by scratching DJ's
I can't hear a bloody thing anymore, and cannot believe that people ask me things and I hear it as something completely different/innaccurate, much to their hilarity.
I can remember when a music artist did not require a million dollar video and a dozen synchronised dancers simulating various degrees of sexual acts. They could also sing live and it was good.
I don't bother staying up til midnight at New Year's anymore.
Eating too much rich food often results in nighttime trips to the lav to jettison cargo.
I am now unable to sleep in past 9am.
I read in bed at night, rather than shagg my man silly every night. I think he is relieved, he's one year older than me.
I own slippers.
Haven't hired a video in over 15 years. Cassette tapes are now almost redundant.
I keep moaning about how companies have changed their product recipes, because the Twisties I enjoyed as a child no longer taste the same.
I have been known to say "When I was your age..."
I am conscious of the workings of my body, whereas in my yoof I only cared if I broke a bone or something. Now I get stiff sitting still for too long. I get sore feet and my knee aches when rain is imminent.
I have some silver hairs appearing. I only wish they would get their act together and all turn overnight so that I am still young and hip enough in my own mind to relish the sensation of having silver white arse length hair before I hit 40.
I have discussed my bowel habits with my partner. Oh the shame....
