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?

Oldies GoldiesTurning 40 makes you realise a few home truths :
1) You can't have a skinful and not expect to be up at 5am to empty your straining bladder.
2) Whatever you eat goes directly onto your expanding gut.
3) Economy/Hairline. Only one is in recession, sadly (unless you're a cunt with too much money) its an irreversible trend.
4) A combination of 2) and 3) means you're never at a loss for fancy dress ideas. Simply paint yourself gold and go as buddha.
5) Online games : OMFG, WTF h4xor n00b? You're forty-fucking one, let it go. MSN do a decent whist night.
6) The woman from the AA ad, with all the tools on the backseat gives you a hard-on. (When you finally stop admiring the ratchet set, and she catches your eye)
7) You realise you'll never fuck a nineteen-year-old again, without prescription drugs and sleight-of-hand, or a grubby wad of cash.
8) The niece you used to bounce up and down on your knee is now 21 and drop-dead gorgeous. You curse the sense of timing.
9) On appropriate occasions, you are reminded of an old joke "seven inches, one wrinkle" with a certain bitter irony.
10) Your short-term memory starts to...err...uhmm, something to do with goldfish.
