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?

I know I'm getting old because....When I go out I dress according to the weather and comfort rather than if I will pull in that miniskirt. (Miniskirt?! You'll catch your death, girl!)
I complain about loud music and the fact that one can't have an intelligent conversation when you can't even here yourself think.
I can make calls and send text messeges on a mobile phone (so I'm not that old) but the rest of the billion functions on my phone remain a total mystery AND even worse, I have no desire to see what they do either!
Said text messages are perfectly punctuated and grammaticallly correct and I find text speak an outrageous insult to the English language.
I like to watch a good documentary and listen to Radio 2.
Tea is elixir from the gods and the answer to all problems. (It used to be cheap vodka!)
If I see my younger brother and his friends in a pub I will ask how old they are and if they are old enough to buy alcohol. When they tell me they are over 18 I will sternly tell them that they can't be, I'M ONLY JUST OVER 18! er no your not dear.........
I don't find it strange to drink alcohol and even *shock, horror* get drunk with my parents.
I have been known to use the words "whipper-snapper" without irony.
Pepole come to me for spelling advice and to ask what a word means.
But the absolutely soul-destroying, I-feel-old-pass-me-the-slippers-feeling comes when I look in the mirror and I see.........my mother. Eeeeek!
