    I have been thinking about this subject for months now, but after being inspired by watching a programme on TV last night, I thought that this may be the time to ask. :)
    The programme was 'An audience with Ken Dodd'. Now when I was a boy, I never really liked watching his shows, but I have to say that now I am older, I find him very funny. I even did the odd LOL :heehee:. Very talented, very fast, faultless delivery, and so much content (without swearing!).
    He covered the subject that I had been thinking about 'signs of ageing'. One was 'when you wife insists that if you are going out, you wear dark trousers :heehee:', because you can't stand in front of the fire for 5 minutes after using the loo when out :)
    So my question is .... How do you know you are getting old?
    The beauty of this question is, thats its a bisexual thing.

              I have found that I have started growing nasal hair, and when I clean my teeth, I instantly develop a temporary hitler style moustache :sad:

                My one at the mo is when all the parents on tv adverts are now your age or younger

                Or all the latest music stars are younger than you.

                Im not liking that part.

                        When you get to the age of 50 and you get letters of the doc to be tested for this and that :love30:

                        When the hair dresser start saying do you want you eye borrows and ears trimming:dunno:

                        And being more Grumpy :biggrin:
