I haven't reached any of these yet, despite being old enough to have
'un-birthdays' like Agnes does!! (I don't think Agnes has reached it
either....)
SYMPTOMS OF BEING OVER 25
1. You leave clubs before the end to 'beat the rush'. (Worse still you
don't go to the clubs)
2. You get more excited about having a roast on Sunday than going
clubbing the night before.
3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer/basketball
player and start dreaming of having a son who might instead (if you're
male that is...)
4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property
section.
5. All of a sudden, middle aged people are not 46, they are only 46.
6. Before going out anywhere, you ask if there is anywhere to park.
7. Rather than throw an old pair of trainers (sneakers?) out, you keep
them because they'll be alright for DIY or in the garden.
8. You buy T-shirts without anything written on them.
9. Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out of
the newspaper, you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving
properties of most of the things that are in it.
10. You start to worry about your parents' health.
11. You have more disposable income, but everything you want or need
to buy costs between 200 and 500 pounds.
12. You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disney dvd or a Wallace &
Gromit bubble bath, as the sales assistant assumes they are for your
children.
13. Pop music all starts to sound the same.
14. You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they do a really
nice half-bottle of house red.
15. You always have enough milk in.
16. To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go
clubbing, you instead frequent trendy bars and restaurants in the
mistaken belief that you have not turned into your parents.
17. While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon Time Team
with Tony Robinson. You get drawn in. Grand Designs also appeals.
18. The benefits of a pension scheme become clear.
19. You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from B&Q.
20. You wish you had a shed.
21. You have a shed.
22. You actually find yourself saying 'They don't make them like that
anymore' and I remember when....' and 'Not in my day...'
23. Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 and Jeremy Vine has
some really interesting guests on.
24. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus,
you tut at rowdy schoolchildren.
25. When sitting outside a pub you admire the hanging baskets.
26. You find yourself saying 'Is it cold in here or is it just me?'
27. You understand the above and forward it to your fellow aging
friends......
What about you?
