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...
Sleighface's comment reminded me...
Stood in a supermarket queue aged approximately 18, the lady in front of me said to her toddler, "be careful, you nearly bumped into the man behind you!" Cue me looking round for the "man" before eventually realising it was me she was referring to. Not even sure I was overly impressed at the time.
I can't find the line where I went from being young to suddenly realising that I'm "getting old" or older at least. But when things like this QotW pop up or you get one of those "you know you're old when..." emails it does make you think!
Anyway, I can't turn the clock back and wouldn't want to if I could - I'm happy with me right now.
