    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.

    What is with that? It's sooo annoying.

    Everytime you sit it's either Ahhhhhhh or Ooohhhhh.

    Realising I'd rather watch the News or The Frontline than Skins/ Gossip Girl/ OTH or some other teenage programmes I used to like. I feel so old. :(

    Alternatively, when you find yourself singing along to a song you thought was shite when you were younger.
    And enjoying it.

    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.
