    You criticize the fashion of young people today. You'd be right but still.

    When you drop something and wonder if you really need it anyway before the effort of bending down.

    You're constantly looking back nostalgically at the past. Deaths of people like Maradona or Jonah Lomu hurt more than they should. It feels like a bit of your prime has gone with them.

    Agree with this, it really does feel like a little bit of you has gone forever with them. Also checking the ages of the oldest players still playing in EPL, CL, world cups etc, to see if I'm younger than any of them and delighted to find out Buffon was born a few weeks before me.

    For me it is being much more conscious of potentially slippy ground. It's getting silly. I used to stride comfortably across every kind of muddy and stoney ground and now I move much more carefully for fear I end up on my arse. :(
    Also my dentist looks like a child.

    Your favourite songs are on classic hits radio.
    Young people's fashion looks strange. Staff in a shop say sir to you.
    You don't understand some of the slang in pop songs. you have given up trying to keep up with new music
    You look forward to staying in and watching the late late show instead of recording it
    You have to ask a young person how to use an app or get some device working
    Your favourite pop group has released a greatest hits collection
    If you have have a fine pints it takes longer to get over a hangover

    Taking 5 minutes to get out of a chair and hearing numerous clicking sounds as your body continues it's decay.

    When you sigh contentedly as you sit down in a nice armchair with a nice cup of tea and put your feet up, but then the moment loses it's everyday magic when you notice the skirting boards need a good dusting.

    When you start dusting skirting boards.

    The other night, I had a great time. On the sofa, a few beers, a few tunes (from the '90s and before, of course) while looking up the best attic insulation options on the World Wide Web.

    What a night it was. I learnt a lot!

    Never even hearing of the most streamed artist in Ireland on spotify this year. I don't think I've ever heard his name mentioned. I must be completely and utterly out of the loop

    I used to monitor network traffic on a corporate network and developed a script to translate the infohash of a torrent to the filename. One day, loads of traffic, rang my boss, "Someone is seeding something by an artist called.. Adele?"

    My boss's response: you don't listen to modern music anymore, do you?

    I used to watch football and play computer games in my spare time and pay little attention to news or current affairs. Over the course of my 30's, that's now completely the opposite.

    You now play football and watch computer games?

    My Ma: I met Ailbhe in the shop she was asking about you.
    Me: my last memory of her was her putting a can of coke in the microwave because it was too cold when she was about 9. Is she in secondary school now?
    My Ma: she's a primary school teacher.


    Feck.

    Yes and it was allowed because one of our products was shared via torrent openly.

    Part of my job was to check were the seeding our products or Naughty Nurses 3, or Adele's first album.

    And some people seeded much worse stuff than that. Cue some awkward conversations.

    Having to lean forwards to see if your laces are tied when standing.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    Leaving a gig early to "beat the rush".

    When you look to get a ticket for a gig.... and no matter who is playing and where... you want a seat. Where before you loved the idea of being front and center, standing, better atmosphere, view, craic and sound now it’s a seat nearer the bar, and the jacks that tickles your fancy....

    I got my hair cut back in September and was looking down as he did my neck and all this grey hair was gathering around my feet and i thought "they must be cutting some auld fellas hair beside me", sneaked a look to the left and realized it was mine!

    I was always like that to be honest.
