    ...you start to make sounds of caution (a kind of eeeehjaysus sound whistled through slightly gritted teeth) when you go to lower yourself into a chair.

    What other signs are there?

    All the mad tunes you listened to (and still do!) are now being called golden oldies.
    Ah feck, how or when did that happen?

    You don't have to up till 7:30 and for no good reason you get up at 6am

    You excitedly grab a ticket go see one of your favourite bands play one of your favourite albums in its entirety; then realise they are doing it because of the 20 year anniversary of the album release.

    You end up in a nightclub and every time a new song starts and the crowd goes 'yeeeeeeaaaaah', you ask someone 'sorry, what is this song'?

    When gravity and body parts become mortal enemies .....

    When you stop giving a sh*te. I often go to Tesco in my slippers. Actually having slippers was probably the turning point now that I think about it.

    :DYour sweetie says
    'Let's go upstairs and make love'
    And you answer:
    'Pick one, I can't do both!'

    'OLD' IS WHEN...
    Your friends compliment you
    On your new alligator shoes
    And you're barefoot!

    'OLD' IS WHEN...
    A sexy babe or hunk catches your fancy ...
    And your pacemaker opens the garage door!

    'OLD' IS WHEN...
    Going braless pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

    'OLD' IS WHEN....
    You don't care where your spouse goes
    ... Just as long as you don't have to go along.

    'OLD' IS WHEN...
    You are cautioned to slow down
    By the doctor instead of by the police

    'OLD' IS WHEN..
    'Getting a little action'
    Means you don't need to take any fibre today

    'OLD' IS WHEN...
    'Getting lucky' means you find your car
    ... In the parking lot.

    'OLD' IS WHEN...
    An 'all nighter' means not getting up
    To use the bathroom.

    AND
    'OLD' IS WHEN.....
    You are not sure these are jokes!
    Have a good day!

    "Young at heart"
    (slightly older in other places!)
    :P
