Signs you're getting older

    What are signs you're getting older?

    I said to my other half today: "I want to put a wash out, there's good drying out there."
    Then when it turned a bit dull in the afternoon, I found myself watching the sky and feeling the air to see if it was going to rain.
    Basically, my day was all about trying to get the clothes in in case it rained.

    I also find I'm just becoming less intolerable to alcohol now, which is a shame, as I used to love downing wine and then a few cans and staying up til 4am just 'cos.
    Now, my eyes are drooping after three glasses of vino and I'm in bed before midnight. (I'm not even 30 yet).

    Also, a night in appeals to me more than a night out.

    I find people playing music too loud outdoors or blaring from their cars irritating.
    Kids playing outside annoy me and I find myself debating over which fabric softener is best for my smalls.

    Kill me now.

    They say you either turn to God or to the garden.

    I've been giving the gardening a go for the last while....

    You start making all sorts of disapproving noises when getting up from a comfy chair.

    Usually, "ah Jaysus", "oh God" or "ahhhh".

    When you can remember when they actually played music on MTV and not these shows like "16 and up the spout" :rolleyes:

    Up until a few years ago I would salivate like a rabid dog at the sight of a lady in a short shirt on a night out.
    Now when I see the same I say to myself 'God, she must be freezing'

    When you have to take half a viagra just to stop yourself pissing on your shoes.....

    When you start to think that 95% of people are insufferable dickheads and you stop making a big effort to hide it.

    The music kids listen to now sickens you. Country music is all you can tolerate.

    When you have to not only squeeze the cheeks of your ass but the cheeks on your face just to get a sh1t out.

    When on friday you spend 140 quid on fcuking pillows and are looking forward to testing them out rather than going out...

    Here's to you, June 12 2015!

    Same way as I used to laugh at people falling over on 'You've been framed' years ago.

    Nowadays, I wince at stuff like that, thinking. ' Ooh,that must have hurt'.
