When did you know you was getting old

[RSJK]

I new I was getting old when radio 2 became easier on my ears than radio 1, and the news was no longer a boring subject on the TV, what about you?

                                ;) :-\

Well unfortunatley I have been an avid news watcher since I was about 14 and I bypassed Radio 2 for Radio 4 when I was about 25-30.  My music taste always restricited me to late night Radio 1 anyway and now my favourite 'pop' music station is Radio 6.  I think it was about 2 days ago that I looked in the mirror and thought 'I am starrting to look my age'  so there you have it - a couple of days ago.

When I lost the blonde locks for brunette.....

When the supply teacher at kids school is a LOT younger than me!....

When Terry Wogan made me giggle....

When a quiet night in with chums, home cooked supper and a bottle of plonk was more appealing than a loud night out in a smoke filled pub with blaring crap music and rubbish reheated food!....

[Delilah]

I didn't know I had  :o  but maybe I'm deluding myself ;D

Perhaps it was last Christmas when we got the records and turntable out of the loft and declared that "music isn't what it used to be"  - but my daughter did tell me to turn the noise down :o she didn't like Sisters of Mercy and the Buzzcocks very much!!!!!!!!!

When every single professional football and rugby league player is younger than I am...

When I can identify where every riff in 'new' pop tunes has been nicked from...

When I realised pubs & clubs are a load of rubbish...

Oh, and when I realised my kids were more important to me than I am :)

When 8 people call you grandpa!

[lorna]

Same here Tim.. when 8 lovely kids between the ages of 3yrs and 20yrs come to see Nan. I keep trying to convince my self  I am not getting old until I try to lift a BIG bag of compost and the sciatica sets in. Then all the neighbours can hear me shouting over the fence  "Come and help me please Lorna.(.jnr!!).

Old? I'm celebrating another anniversary of my 35th birthday next month!

Seriously, when I was 25 and seriously competing in horse sports, even though very fit still had days when my hip seized up and I couldn't dismount, or when my fingers siezed up while plaiting a mane.

All there still, but without the adrenalin or the strain on the bank balance!

...when I started buying shoes for comfort rather than fashion sense.

When I looked in the mirror and saw my mother looking out at me and then hearing my mates say ' oh heck, you even talk like your mother'.

That's a good one Mimi, I remember I was visiting my aunt in a nursing home a few years ago, and one of the relief nurses{not a regular at any rate} was a VERY young girl I used babysit, many years ago!!!
