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?

Am I getting old?
Well I'm only 21 but there is evidence to say that I am:
1-I can't sit down or stand up without groaning
2-I went out last night drinking; the first time in 4 months I worked out
3-I'm only just ready to reintroduce solids to my stomach after last night
4-Footballers are younger than me
5-Musicians, sorry, lets make that pop musicians are also younger than me; and I don't understand how anyone could like any of it.
6-I have CD's older than people I've worked with
7-1990 was not that long ago; but people born in that year are probably having sex by now
8-Little David, my cousin, just passed his driving test
9-I've noticed a joy in walking
10-I feel like the cashiers think i'm odd when i buy sweets, and am then outstanded that a standard sized chocolate bar can cost as much as 50p
11-I keep carrier bags, boxes, and odd bits of cardboard - just in case
12-I'm thinking of trading in my motorbike (Yamaha R6) for something, more sensible
13-I've ordered a cup of tea in a pub on a Friday night, and I wasn't even driving
14-Isn't tea great?
15-I take great interest in property prices as I want to buy a house
16-I hate going to town because there are too many people there
17-There is no joy in Christmas anymore
18-My friends and I have known each other for over 10 years
19-I use the words 'therefore' and 'concur' often, as do I use inverted commas
20-I can now go to bed with my [very attractive] girlfriend without contemplating sex
21-I know people who are going bald
22-I now do exercise for the sakes of exercise
Phew! Thats enough for now. I don't think I'm old; but I do appear to be hyper-maturing! Who knows what I'll be like when I'm 30....
God help me [and my girlfriend who will have to put up with me!]
