You bend down to tie your shoelaces, and wonder what else you can do whilst you're down there.

You have to grunt when you crouch to pick something up whether it be a child or a newspaper.

People handing out flyers for club nights don't try to put one in your hand.

You occasionally agree with the Daily Mail headline.

One of my daughters now grunts when she bends over or lifts anything heavy - I can't imagine where she got it from 🙂

Your scalp inverts and your hair starts growing down & out through your ears, nose and eyebrows.

Your idea of a really good weekend is tidying up the garage.

You stay up late surfing pictures of sheds.

Your back goes out more than you do.

There's nothing left to learn the hard way.

You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

You are proud of your lawn mower.

You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch television.

You have more patience; but actually, it's just that you don't care any more.

Younger men ask you for advice.

(Then got asked the priceless, "what do you play those on, then?" A god damned VCR, genius.)

You feel qualified to offer assistance to people parking their cars in tight spaces.

You don't recognise the face staring back at you in the mirror.

That is actually quite poignant.

... when your girlfriend is 10 years younger than you.

Ummm, four of my ex-g/f's were fourteen years or so younger than me, and that was when I was a [i]lot[/i] younger than I am now. Even the closest in age were between two to five years younger.

You join & proudly display your RSPB car sticker.

You own up to knowing what biopace chainrings are to your colleagues at work.

You work with people who have the 90's as their date of birth!
