The realisation you're getting old

Seeing 60-year-old new romantics at a David Bowie tribute gig.

I think it was Frank Skinner who made this observation- when you no longer need an anecdote for any injuries you know you are old.
This morning, I put my back out (ouch), which prompted me to reflect on the possible causes of this discomfort, ultimately leading to the simple answer…age.

Sounds and looks awful

I'd Rather Jack by the Reynolds Girls is now a golden oldie. They're probably now twice as old as every DJ on the radio!

You’re old when you use it as an excuse

No, they were born in 1970 and 1972, so they are 53 and 55 years old.

There are a number of BBC DJs older than that or close to it - Trevor Nelson is 61, Zoe Ball is 54, Chris Evans is 58, Sara Cox is 51, etc.

I frequent a retro music bar which occasionally has showcase nights for local students. One of them was performing 'Jenny from the block.' I suppose it was written before they were born.

I found myself explaining the cold war to some work colleagues today. The oldest was born the year the Berlin wall came down.

I bought two cheese pasties from 'Pound Bakery' in Accrington yesterday. The shop assistant told me they were £1.90 each, or 2 for £2.90. I decided on 2 for obvious reasons, then on sorting out my change she said she was knocking 25 percent off as 'it's 25 percent off for pensioners on Wednesdays'. Thanks for that, but I'm only 64 I thought. I didn't mind and quite liked the gesture.

As I get older I find I only need three shops Specsavers, Boots and Greggs. My life is just specs and drugs and sausage rolls.

You ask your wife/partner what day it is, and then ask them the same question 2 minutes later.

No, it's when you look at them and wonder.
Dismiss the thought about who they are.
Then wonder if they are in your house or you are in theirs.
