    - you read the death notices.
    - your 7 year old asks you to explain to him what a tape player is.
    - you start watching primetime.
    - you dont recognise any of the songs in the TOP 10 of the charts

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

    Oh sweet jesus... this kind of shyte?

    Prepare the house while shes at school, no means of escape. Confiscate her ipod, the tv remote and whatever else she listens to this on. when she gets home, go into fúcking lock down till you sort her out!

    1.When you wake up aching, for all the wrong reasons.

    2.When you don't want to go to a bar unless you can be certain that you'll get a seat.

    3.When you dismiss the opinions of anyone under the age of 20.

    4.When you wouldn't even consider going to a nightclub.

    5.When you're thinking of getting into your pajamas, just as the neighbours are heading off to a club.

    Was smugly ticking no to your checklist, then I got to number 5.
    Oh well.

    When you begin to fancy older women. Then you realise most of them are younger than you.:mad:

    Or when you look at MILF porn and begin to think: "You know what, it's time I settled down".

    Evidently, the tipping point is when a genre of music confuses, scares and infuriates you.

    3. When you ARE the MILF! :D
    4. When you read through this thread and you do every single one!!

    The day after drinking is a complete write off :)

    Even when you're tired/hungover, you are incapable of sleeping past 09:30 :eek:

    Whenever I'm hungover I mostly wake up far earlier then I would on a normal weekend/day :confused:

    I'm not old though :o

    When you consider buying a practical car. When you swap your Volvo V50 for a TT you are having a mid life crisis.

    When you know what the picture on the "Save" button represents.

    You look at the 'All Things Retro' forum and see people talking about video games or mobile phones that came out when you were in your early thirties.
