This is a question 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?

And another thing!
I got my hair cut the other day and was asked (casually) if I wanted my "eyebrows done"
Whilst reading this thread, I've had to increase the font size...
My right eye squelches when I rub it
I like buying wine glasses that I never use
I'll take a book along to the supermarket during the Christmas rush
I keep pebbles. In fact anything that will somehow remind of the rapidly receding years (cinema tickets, receipts for presents bought for ex-girlfriends, etc.) all stored inside an old Quality Street tin. I'm on to my third now...
I put 1s, 2s and 5s into a big jar (or usually, lots of big jars). It took me over two hours to cash it up the other week and there was just over £120 in there. And my back hurt like a bastard for a week after I lugged it all down to the bank. I even let an old lady sneak in in front of me in the queue.
I've often thought I'd like to take up crown green bowls. No really!
I can remember 1/2 pennies
Albatross by Fleetwood Mac was in the top 5 when I was born and I still like listening to it
I remember when there were only three channels and telly didn't start until 10am
Kids' programming went down hill after Tiswas stopped
Tea is the elixir of the gods
Every time I'm ill, i immediately think it's cancer
My youngest brother - whom I once I had to help nappy change - now has two children
My mum feels that she can discuss her sexual problems with me. Some things are just best left unsaid...
I keep deluding myself by saying that all these young women really fancy bedding a guy in their thirties. The sad fact is, they very probably don't...
I need TWO alarm clocks to wake me up, one of which is set 10 minutes fast.
I seem to sweat a lot more these days... 24 hour protection my arse!



On the plus side though, I still go out every Friday and Saturday without fail, usually end up quite quite wankered and can never remember how I got home. I can't see myself ever smoking a pipe and I'd rather walk barefoot than wear slippers.
