You know you're getting old when you mutter (of music) "Well the original was so much better"

... the songs you used to listen to are now being played on the oldies radio station!

To continue the music theme, when you say 'you cant tell what they are saying, its just noise'

(Edited by Wobag 11/05/2003 14:04)

...when you first mutter the cursed words "When I was younger/little/a lad" (Delete as applicable)

When you say what your parents used to say when an actor came on TV " He'd dead now "

When you realise that pubs serving people who are underage is a bad thing.

the phrase "i was *never* like/would never do that as a child! kids these days..." with sincere shock and hurt

im only 18 and i find myself saying this already! but...kids these days, some of them, little brats! cheeky ones at that.

Guess that means I am not old then

When you find yourself saying "there's no way they can be at university! They don't look 18!"

When you start to notice the anti-wrinkle cream ads on telly

When you walk into what used to be a favourite pub/bar only to realise that you are at least 4 years older than everyone else there (including the bar staff!)

When the 80s seem like only yesterday...

When the fashions you grew up with are in... again

Oi! No fair! I first noticed those when I was at Reception at Primary School!

You know you're old when Otter from Animal House has become the Vice President of the United States....

"We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."

When your doctor is only a year or so older than you
When you say to yourself "35 isn't old"

Actually on a par with this - who is the danceholic (who incidentally obviously mimes to the song) performing the latest version of Transvision Vamps "Baby I don't care"

I think it's Jennifer Ellison who was in Brookside, but I could be wrong.

Following on with the theme:

You know you're getting old when you see young girls out in next to nothing and think "I wonder if her mum and dad know she's out dressed like that"

When you go out to a club look around and realise that the mojority of people there weren't even born when you started clubbing. this is true it's happened to me *shudder*

Or you look at the young girls in clubs and say out loud "Does your mother know you're dressed like that?"

But then I remember when I was their age I did as well..... oh wait..... I *still* do
