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?

hmm.. the good and bad bits
31 years, and counting.
Bad:
I have a mortgage, a car and a shed (I need the space to store the mower and tools)
Exercise is something I need to do to stay well and sane, good job I like it.
My 25 year old friends think *they're* old
Giving directions to someone at the top of Winter Hill and pretending not to notice as her son gets fits of giggles making fart noises in the background.
Getting irritated by txt spelling.
Actually liking classical music and opera
Watching Doctor Who:Logopolis a few months ago for fun and realising how awful it actually is.
Having conversations and worrying about mortgages and pensions.
Being able to hear, and having no smoke is a big factor in choosing a pub.
Going in clubs where everyone looks 14.
Hair starting to go grey.
In my day there were less script kiddies on the Internet.
I have been on the Internet more than a dozen years..
Yes - nose hair - but just pull it out you stupid sods!
I actually follow politics to some extent.
Parents retiring, funerals of relatives.
OS/2? What was that?
People not knowing what pacman is
Having 'this country is going to the dogs' conversation with a friend 3 years younger than me.
I havent a clue what some of the things that young people enjoy.. oh nuts.
My sister is approaching 30
I will actively avoid clubbing in town on NYE 'because it's a rip off and getting taxis home is a nightmare'
The good:
I have a mortgage, a car and a shed..
I still go clubbing till 3am. Woo to Poptastic/Jillys.
I retain a decent alcohol tolerance
I'm not stupid enough to get drunk quickly
I can actually be myself, without caring what other people think.
I'm out doing something different every weekend
My clothing style remains a tad alternative - nuts to blandness..
I dont watch TV or other crap that rots your brain.
