Away with the fairies (Liverpool to you) |
According to my OH a few years ago - you see a load of girls going on a night out wearing next to nothing (belly tops and tiny skirts) and think 'they look cold why aren't they wearing coats'  |

"When you complain about modern music being awful!"
Yup, defo, I'm saying (to the likes of younger nieces/nephews in there teens) about bands I consider great, and their like "never heard of them".
And when they tell me about their favourite band/group, I'm like "well I've not heard of them".

Okay I realise at 19 I'm not old but this made me think maybe my mind is...
When it was sunny last Saturday all I could think about was how good weather was great for hanging my washing on the line instead of sitting outside a pub with friends or something  |

I got M&S vouchers for signing up for Sky broadband lately, the fact that I was excited by that made me feel old enough... but you've never seen anyone so excited about a new oven glove & dish towels  |

".. you have to use hygienic clippers to remove your nose and ear hair!
What other things make you realise the onset of years is catching you up .. ??"
When you go to the barbers and there is more grey than dark and the barber asks "can I trim your eyebrows for you" |

The only 'moaning' you do is when you try to move
Going 'ooh' from random pains in places that you didn't know you had places
You feel the need to wear slippers and cozy pjs instead of skimpy nighties
You get excited by cushions and candles instead of wine and vodka
Your sofa has a collection of blankets just in case you get cold

When your kids hear a song and say "they're making a mess of this", but it's the original artist, not the cover version they're used to, and you remember buying it when it originally came out.
Another sign: Recording the top 40 off the radio each week. |

...when you see re-runs of dr who (Colin baker/McCoy years I grew up with) and see how BAD the "visual effects" were (I probably thought they were good at the time).
You just realise how cheap/tacky the effects were then, not like all the great CGI stuff now.

Your kids ask you if you've been to the loo before you head out.
Your Kids check you've fastened your seat belt securely before they drive you.
Your Kids hold YOUR hand before escorting you across the road!   |

"When you point at young people in the street and openly laugh at what they're wearing?"
Yea, especially when you can see the underwear above the trousers (which are like what you think is "half mast").
I mean WTF. you shouldn't see your underwear. |

"When you buy presents for other people's kids and you no longer understand how the technology works. "
Oh, yea, know what you mean. Kids are like on there iPhones like experts, but you got an ace up your sleeve, you break out your turntable (along with LP's) and kids are like "how does THIS work" and also the kids are like "what are these HUGE black disks for, frisbees?" |
