Hate noisy pubs or groan when you bend down? The 30 telltale signs that you're really getting old

Well, I've certainly not got on to Number 12 yet :twisted:

But on the other hand I certainly own up to Number 14 :x

Haha, these are brilliant. I especially like the statistics that people between 21 and 29 first start noticing the signs. You know when you wake up one morning after a drinking eve and feel really really bad and you think to yourself 'I'm getting old' :D When I was staying in Rome quite some time ago, that was my first clue, anyway :D

And then I went onto going to bed earlier than my housemates of 4-5 years younger or being more annoyed by noise in the house or getting more tired at work than the younger ones. And I'm only 25! :D

I'm starting to get annoyed with my lodger who pees in my toilet water instead of initially finding your aim and then swiftly locating the quiet side of the bowel. It's made all the worse because he p1$$e$ like a race horse. I swear the guy's got a three gallon bladder!

He leaves lights on everywhere too, in rooms that aren't used. In the morning they're all on! Oh, and he's a door-banger too :x After the millionth time of closing the door like a shotgun just went off I dropped a hint with "do come in Phil".

He's leaving at the end of this month...

I actually did notice my error afterwards this time but left it in. I was hurried and in the throws of other things. :wink:

Two more weeks grabs. I didn't mean to paint a bad picture of him, he's been kind and generous; and I have reciprocated.

I was hoping he would be here much longer but he's bought a new build flat which is going to be ready soon. He's hardly ever here too because he's rehearsing for a play. We're like ships passing in the night. I just wish I couldn't hear the crashing of the waves so much. :D

I've been helping him by playing the part of Gwendolyn and everyone else apart from his character. How people remember so many lines is beyond me! Our brains are obviously wired differently. (Please resist guys :lol: )
