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?

I finally realised I was getting old when...
Evidence for the prosecution -
myself and gang of mates were invited out to a party thrown by a group of girls aged 16-19 and decided to stay home and watch films rather than associate with a 'bunch of young kids with nothing to talk about'.
I have conversations with people about cooking ingedients.
I stopped buying NME-type music pares about 5 years ago.
I can remeber all those horrible 80's fashions the first time round.
I used to able to program in BASIC. On a Commodore 16.
I complain about the 'poor standard of students nowadays' who only want to 'get drunk and shag' when assigned a student nurse to look after, convieniently forgetting, that when I was student that was all I wanted to do.
I tell my students - 'You are not here just to learn you are here to work as well' whilst bollocking them about their punctuality.
Most of my favourite bands have one dead member/just split up/just released their 12th album/have announced their 3rd 'farewell tour/all of the above.
Opal fruits and Marathon bars. Enough said.
I really just don't find 'Bo Selecta!' funny and think that 'Little Britain' is just a lazy rip-off of 'League of Gentlemen'
I have developed a disturbing passion for Country and Folk music.
The prosecution rests m'lud.
*edit - I have just been through this post and corrected the spelling and grammar - GUILTY!*
