Signs that youre over 30.....

[All tiied up]

1. You leave gatherings before the end to "beat the rush".

2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing.

3. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section.

4. All of a sudden, Tony Blair is not 54, he's only 54.

5. Before going out anywhere, you ask what the parking is like.

6. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them because they'll be all right for the garden.

7. You buy your first ever T-shirt without anything written on it.

8. Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out of the newspaper, you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving properties of a plastic winter cover for your garden bench and an electronic mole repellent for the lawn. Not to mention the plastic man for the car to deter would-be thieves.

9. You start to worry about your parents' health.

10. Sure, you have more disposable income, but now everything you want to buy costs between 200 and 500 quid.

11. All Pop music starts to sound crap.

12. You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they don't have any pictures on the menus and anyway, they do a really nice half-bottle of house white.

13. You become powerless to resist the lure of self-assembly furniture.

14. You always have enough milk in.

16. The benefits of a pension scheme become clear.

17. You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from B&Q.

18. You wish you had a shed.

19. You have a shed.

20. You actually find yourself saying "They don't make 'em like that anymore" and "I remember when there were only 3 TV channels" and "Of course in my day...."

21. Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 -and Jimmy Young has some really interesting guests on.

22. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus, you tut at schoolchildren whose diction is poor.

23. When sitting outside a pub you become envious of their hanging baskets.

24. You make an effort to be in and out of the curry house by 11.

25. You make that little groan / grunt when you bend down to pick something off of the floor
