    You know you're getting old when you give out to young teenagers for writing graffiti all over the bridge at the train station.

    - you know you're old when you call a taxi instead of taking the 2 hour walk home at 5am
    - you know you're old when you are scared of some of the new "young fashion" stuff
    - you know you're old when your favourite radio station isn't your favourite any more

    To paraphrase Billy Bragg:

    Bah Bragg is hilarious, does he not live in a lovely house in Dorset, oh and the time he got mugged by a bunch of lads at an anti-racism/feel good/love one another/champagne socialist/etc gigs. That was good old fashioned irony. :p

    Perhaps but aint you supposed to be turning Blue?

    I dont mind socialists (though I hate socialism) but people like Bragg annoy me, but if its the music and message then the medium probably isnt all that important.

    Hmmm. Good conundrum.
    But then I never said I was old... However it is an interesting catch-22 I seem to have set up for myself... More fool me.

    Hey, I listen to both of those!

    First time I realised I was old was when it dawned on me that even my little sister was too old to know anybody on the schools rugby teams at home. Now the only names I recognise are little children who were in primary school when I was watching their brothers play. :mad:

    I remember when I started in my current job trying to fight off laughter every time parents said "Pay the lady" to their kids... I was only 19 then, and I just found it so strange being called lady.

    Though on the other hand... I had 2 customers calling me a guy today.

    You know you're old when friends can slag you about the age of a girl you picked up in a club; if she got in shes old enough.

    You know you're old when you start looking for relationships and not a one night stand.

    You know you're old when you have investment portfolios

    You know you're old when you leave a job because A)You dont want to be doing this for the rest of you're life and B)Its not the fun it used to be

    You know you're old if you can afford car insurance :D

    I need to get a fake ID (to get served in the states)
    I've usually to lie about my age when on the pull
    Im on average 3.5 years younger than my 10 best friends
    Im on a provisional drivers licence
    I go to college
    I drink 3 nights a week minimum and same goes for crashing somewhere else

    You know you're old when you remember Colon Powell as the guy in the uniform presenting Gulf War I on tv every evening... That was quality viewing, the sequel didn't really measure up to it, I gotta say.
