    You Know You're Getting Old When.....

    Music blares from your 12 year old's room, walking by you shout in enthusiastically "techno", "eh, no dad" she shouts sarcastically, "dubstep". Ouch.

    The CDs in the bargain section in HMV are all very appealing.

    In fact; when you listen to CDs.

    You form a deep contempt for, and summarily dismiss, the opinions of students.

    I believe it's how we're meant to walk in the big smoke. Ya know, the wiggling the head like a pigeon with the arms poking out and curved downwards.

    When you wear tweed jackets complete with elbow patches.

    When you have a stick in the garage used only to stir paint with.

    When you sometimes need help tying your shoelaces

    When your nephews are taller than you

    When you watch the late late show

    When you sometimes watch the weather

    When you change over to Joe Duffy at 1.45pm

    When you see people that you used to babysit in the local nightclub

    Im 31.

    When a fine day comes and you nearly get wet with excitement at getting clothes dry on the line.
