You know you're getting old when.......

As life moves on there are signs which tell us, without any chance of doubt, that we are getting older, going downhill, coming off the final bend or generally ready to turn off the lights, lock the door and depart gracefully. What is/are your particular tell-tale symptoms?

[It's my bike] Your postcode is wrong. That's Swarcliffe Road. You can't get onto the internet from there. Walk around the corner into Knaresborough Road and catch the bus.
The amount of exercise you're fit enough to do is no longer enough to maintain your fitness.
You find your first grey pube. [Raak: Henry Ford said "Exercise is bunk; if you're fit, you don't need it and if you're not, you shouldn't attempt it".]
You can name ALL the artists who FIRST recorded every single record in this week's Top 40, and cannot understand why people dance to these 40 ghastly remakes. And of course your children, being "too bloody young", can't even remember the forty artists who remixed them for LAST WEEK's Countdown.
You can't even remember what colour your pants where before they turned this attractive shade of grey.
You still think of Videos as "New Fangled Technology", while DVDs are "Witchcraft and Heresy".
You actually think OTHER PEOPLE understand what "Fangling" is, and have ever used the word since 1951.
you'll describe a Gay TV Presenter, such as Graham Norton or Dale Winton, as "that nice young man," and consider it, "a shame he's not found the right woman."
at weddings, you'll say to young spinsters, "I expect it'll be you next."
at funerals, THEY say that to you.
They open the carton and pour you down the drain.
You think CAMREC are a bunch of anarchists.
You dial 911 and greet the dispatcher with "I've fallen and I can't get up."
You dial 911.
Your neighbours only realise that they haven't seen you for a while when maggots start crawling out of your letterbox
When your grandchildren have to potty-train you.
You start shopping around for spare parts.
You have a box in your garage in which you can find anything to fix something
You spend most of every morning getting out of bed and fit to face the world.
You think this game is fast-moving
You've already thought of half of the moves in this game before they were posted [st d - try killing it and see what happens; it's the game that won't die!]
