The test is a fit member of the opposite sex.
If it invokes lustful thoughts - you're OK
If it brings back memories - you're old!<b><i>He that buys land buys many stones.

You look at a station wagon car in a new light.
You can tell a good wine from a bad one

Def agree with those HungryCol. I love the phone in on five live in the morning but only if Victoria Derbyshire is hosting. I've already started checking out mobile homes on the internet!! FFS. Love my wine although I'm not drinking it at the moment because it's got to the stage where I have a couple of glasses and have to get up at 2am to go and drink some water. I see an osteopath on a regular basis now just to make sure my back doesn't go again - I love that half hour of rubbing and manipulation though so I carry on going even though I'm not in pain anymore

Will I ever dress from head to foot in beige? Will I cut off my long hair and have it in a tight perm and colour it blue?0 -

No. But however you do dress when you're old will be seen in that same light by young(er) people...
And your name will probably be the equivalent of Ethel or Phyllis by then. Probably because all the cool youngsters will once again be called Ethel or Phyllis.....!0 -
When you see someone with the label on the outside of their shirt collor and you tell they have it inside out.

I now have a few gray hairs on my chin and I dont recover from a 'night out' with the lads as quick as I did a decade ago but I also think thats down to good living as I dont drink often now. I have nephews and neices in secondary school now and two kids of my own and for some strange reason I dont sleep as long as I used to.
The good news is that I am wiser(age 36) now and this year I had the form of my life and have probably never been fitter than summer 2007.Brian B.0 -
You get you new year's race licence and is has that M word on it:

I never used to make it in for 9am lectures and now I'm up around 6 most days. That's what having toddlers in the house does for you though. Remember the days of staying in bed, preferably with loved one, until midday or beyond????0 -
...yeah, my 18 year old daughter is at uni and sometimes she phones me at 2.30 in the afternoon to say she has just woken up.
I do remember the long lie ins...with a loved one...the same loved one that now says it's time to get up and get all the chores done ...all the way...'til the wheels fall off and burn...0 -
A lie-in, I had to go and look that one up. Since mini-McBain came onto the scene a "late morning" means that I'm still in bed at 0610. Still, he does make sure that I have plenty of time to prep the bike before setting off on Sunday at 0830
What do I ride? Now that's an Enigma!0 -

yep, I feel your pain. I sometimes wake up with a start to find a remote controller being pointed at my head. I can press 614 on my sky remote without even looking.0 -

Is that Cbeebies?0 -

Not CBeebies! That's the first thing I hear in the morning. "Can I turn the telly on" usually followed by Lunar Jim or something.
I've found the best thing to do is set the digibox up so it's on 71 before I go to bed and the volume is at a reasonable level, then turn the telly off. They turn the telly on and get entranced. Then I get an extra 45 mins.
Other signs of getting old (I feel old and I'm only 27).
- A good stretch or a scratch is better than sex.
- I'm getting grey hair.
- Most of the people at work are younger than me.
- I don't get R&B and all that.
- I spend half my day looking at property prices and school ofsted reports.
- I don't even know what a Blu-Ray is.
- I have a BBC micro and still know how to use it.0 -

When you go to bed and your teeth stare at you.

...when you have a draw full of old plastic bags...
...when you have a cup of tea and say,"oooh that's nice, I needed that"...all the way...'til the wheels fall off and burn...0 -
- I don't get R&B and all that.
That's because R&B is supposed to stand for Rhythm & Blues, rather than the Rap & Bollox that is pedalled under the name now :evil:

No way! I'm not that old yet then actually, you're about 10 years past your peak if you're 27 and at 33, I don't think I have peaked yet
That's cos you don't have ballsDan0 -
