Signs that you're getting old

Deise Vu

I can name the Waterford team that won the 1980 FAI Cup but cant remember the names of half the people I worked with in a job I left 6 months ago.

Strength training does more than just build muscle. It increases bone density, and the best way to avoid a bad back is to have a strong back.

They also seem to grow back x10 faster.

When you've aches and pains after doing work in the garden.

Also, you're doing work in the garden.

Getting frustrated at looking for a pen to write down something so you don't forget. Only to find the pen you can't find resting on your ear.

When your entire body is stiff in the morning rather than one specific part.

This is definitely me and I realised this week I sound exactly like my mother as I'm so excited every evening when clothes are 'bone dry'

Yep I'm official old now.

I react to B&Q in the same way children react to toy shops.

Even if I live to be 100, I will never take an interest in mowing. It is a pain in the hoop

Surreptitious

You see people that would be considered 'old' and they don't look that old to you. Then you see young people and they look really young. Then you try to work out where you fit into it all in the grand scheme of things.

Oh god. There was a postgrad intern from my old university working with us a couple of years ago. I told her I'd gone there too. 'What year did you graduate?', she asked. I replied '1998' to which she replied, 'I was born that year'.
It didn't matter in the end, we both skulled pints like undergrads at a work do that night.

Potential-Monke

I recently purchased a lumbar support cushion...

For me it was when alot of the Premier league footballers i remember making their debuts started to retire in the last few years.. it strangely made me feel old

When your favourite pop stars are from the 80s, or 90s,
You remember when top of the pops was on tv
When MTV just showed music videos not just reality TV shows
You remember when games were just released on catridge
You could rent games from xtravision
You remember black and white tvs
You used to rent out films on VHS tape
You remember pirate radio radio Dublin etc
before 2fm was on the air

Don't think that I've any signs of getting older, but some fecker keeps roaring when I have to bend over to pick something up.
