    I'm 27.

    Just found out that my nostril hairs are really really really long all of a sudden, I can literally grab em with two fingers from outside my nostrils... eeeeeuch!!

    Played 2 matches last week, needed two days to recover after the second match, I never needed recovery time before, stairs were a nightmare for two days.

    I'm not nearly half as bothered about "getting the ride" on a night out anymore, sometimes all I want after a feed of Guinness is a bag of chips and me bed.

    How about ye? I feel battered and bruised and worn out!

    I'd rather stay in, than go out and socialise.

    I cycled 100 miles on Saturday and felt dreadful on Sunday.
    In the old days, I would have been back on the bike doing at least another 50 miles!

    When you can grab them in your fist, then get worried! :D

    I'm finding more and more gray hairs on my head and beard, when they start appearing else where I'll feel old.

    When you moan about every new fad/trend that appears and say how music/movies/everything was better in your day.

    I was old by about age 12 though. Nothing ever topped that dinosaur fad.
