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?

On getting old.......
I am 27, and I feel no need to apologise for any of these...
1) I prefer a night in my local where i can talk to my friends,drink good quality cheap beer, not have to dress up and not have to fight my way to a bar for a a pint than a night out on the town.... tho maybe this is also because I have a girlfriend and don't have to go outon the pull anymore.
2)My car stereo is tuned to either Radio 2 or radio 4.
3) I go to pub quizzes with my Dad and his mates and have more fun than when I do venture down town.
4)I like Terry Wogan and find him amusing.
5)I own a pair of slippers, a rocking chair (tho in my derence it is antique) and several pewter tankards.
6) I'm thinking about getting an allotment.
7) I wake up in the middle of the night to go the toilet.
8)I go into a cupboard for something and forget what i've gone there for.
9) anyone who is 16 was born in the same year i started secondary school, and the kids today are far worse than when we were kids.
10) I go shopping in the evening for the bargains.
11)I'd like to buy a camper van so i can go to glastonbury and not have to camp, or use the festival bogs.
12) I recycle...everything.
13)I don't have an inner child but I do have an inner grumpy old man.
14) I enjoy shopping in Ikea.
15) I am beyond redemption. My youth has gone, and I'm sure I'll have a mid life crisis at 35!
thanks this is almost as good as therapy!
16) I am getting grey hairs!!
keep thinking of more...sorry...
17) My mates 19 yr old girlfriend doesn't remember Doctor Who or daleks being on the telly.
18) Receiving leaflets about insurance and pensions adressed to Mr... and realising its me their referring to and not my dad.
19) Only seeing family when is the funeral of some aged relative.
20) My drug of choice now is Ibuprofin.
21)My 12 bottle wine rack contains 6 bottles of wine, and I'll have only drunk one (or two) by this time next week.
22) realising I've been drinking in my local for 14 years.
23) I am currently listening to a Willie Nelson CD, and enjoying it very much.
(yes I know another edit...but..)
24) I remember listening to Ozzy osbourne and Black Sabbath 10 years ago when the only thing he could do was get arrested.
25) When you see children wearing Nirvana T shirts, and they weren't even born when Nirvana were around...go find yourself your own fucked up suicidal idol, don't steal ours!!
26) when formula 1 drivers are younger than you.
27) when you sit in your office on a monday morning and wonder why you aren't driving a ferrari or dating a supermodel.
28) I remember buying a Tshirt celebrating the 25th anniversary of Sgt pepper by the beatles, an album released 37 years ago now. I still own the t shirt!
29) Going to the meat market in Doncaster with your dad to buy bargain Beef and bacon because its better quality than the supermarket and its cheaper. (go at 3pm, their selling it all off really cheaply cos they want to go home!)
