Posted December 12, 200717 yr Found this in Gary Barlows Tight Trousers. Its a bit of fun! Apparently, you're getting old when you do the things below - how many things do you do? Post your score out of 25! (I got about 14 - and the 'shed' question was one of them!) 1. You leave clubs before the end to "beat the rush". (worst still you don't go to the clubs) 2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing the night before. 3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional football player and start dreaming of having a son who might instead. 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 whether there is anywhere to park. 7. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them because they'll be alright for the 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 quid. 12. You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disney video or a Wallace and 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 C4's 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 'em like that anymore" and "I remember when there were only 4 TV channels" 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 school children. 25. When sitting outside a pub you admire their hanging baskets.

December 12, 200717 yr This'll be funny considering I'm the age most people crave to be :kink: 1. You leave clubs before the end to "beat the rush". (worst still you don't go to the clubs) - My friends do this, it annoys moi. 2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing the night before. 3.

Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus, You tut at rowdy school children. - I tut at both :lol: 25. When sitting outside a pub you admire their hanging baskets. OK, so I'm officially not old (or prematurely old). Good ^_^
December 12, 200717 yr 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. :rofl: I love looking through these, hilarious!
December 12, 200717 yr Author :rofl: I love looking through these, hilarious! My favourite had to be - When sitting outside a pub you admire their hanging baskets. They could have added more - You get palpitations if there is a pattern on your kitchen roll Norma That's a good idea! Can anyone else think of nuggets of wisdom to add?
December 13, 200717 yr LOL I admit to agreeing with nearly all of them, especially the one about pop music all sounding the same :yahoo:
December 13, 200717 yr I only really do one but then again I'm only 17 :lol: I get rowdy at anything when people take their time and I'm in a rush. 24. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus, You tut at rowdy school children. Norma you should post this in the lounge ^_^ would be good.

I wanted to tempt people into the Take That forum - I've got lots of ideas for games and stuff - but now that I've put it here - I think I may put it in the Lounge too! Norma
