This is a question 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?

I'm old before my time.
I know this because:

- I find clubbing tremendously boring.
- I always wish they'd turn down the music in pubs.
- I drink something I'll enjoy, rather than to get drunk.
- I'm a member of a rambling club.
- I find that a cup of Earl Grey & Vanilla tea will make all the world's ills vanish.
- I've recently incorporated my dad's taste in music into my own.
- I think clothes are ridiculously overpriced, and only buy them in the sales.
- I constantly correct people's spelling, punctuation and grammar.
- People come to me if they don't know what a word means.
- I think the common looks so beautiful in autumn that I wander round with my camera taking photos.
- I start to shout at the TV during politics shows.
- I enjoy countdown.
- I despair at the state of the country and the future.
- Far from being my main goal, money seems to be of almost no significance to life.
- I think babies are the cutest things in the world.
- I think I want to settle down with someone and go for evening walks in the countryside, hand in hand as we talk aimlessly about life, the universe and everything, watching the sun go down behind the hills; both momentarily struck by a sense of the incredible beauty of the universe, awoken from our reverie by our faithful dog bounding happily back towards us...
...sorry, off in my own little world.
- I daydream.

I turned 20 just over two months ago...
