» Evidence that you're getting old
Oxford Street
My twenty year old cousin came up to the Big Smoke for a weekend of shopping. All she and her friend wanted to do was trot up and down Oxford Street for 5 hours, trying on increasingly tiny tops and skirts. I was exhausted by 6, and just wanted to lie on the sofa with a bottle of gin. They went out. Bearing in mind that it was January, and very very cold, they, being Northern gals, went out in teeny tiny skirts and strappy tops. And I found myself saying "Are you going out like that? You'll freeze". The look that passed between them confirmed that I am, indeed, an old fart.

Irrational fears
Whales. Suspect it may be related to being taken to some sea museum in Liverpool as a child shortly after being forced to watch Jaws by evil sibling. There was a whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling, about 100 feet above us, and I completely freaked. I had nightmares for YEARS about whales and horrid deep sea creatures generally. Would love to say I'm over it, but I still get v scared in deep water, as am convinced something is going to get me ... *shudder*
