Just sitting at home watching some of Parramatta`s Grand Final victories. Gee it feels like a long time ago now. Almost 30 years, and it just got me thinking about my age and getting old.
I`m on the cusp of 40 and the last grand final victory of ours was when I was 11. If I have to wait another 28 years I don't think I can make it. Anyway it got me thinking about old age and what it may hold for me.
Here`s my top ten.
I will know I`m old when:
1. I get up at 5:30am and consider that a sleep in.
2. I put my hands down my pants to scratch my balls and scratch my knees instead.
3. I start wearing sleeveless jumpers in the middle of Summer.
4. I consider gardening a hobby and not a chore.
5. I don't go on holidays I go on tours.
6. I start to listen to Michael Bolton`s music.
7. I don't wear undies and only wear nappies.
8. I would rather play lawn balls then have sex with my wife.
9. I play bingo every Friday night.
10. Parramatta win their next comp.
Guys can you think of any other signs. Help me out please.

You are old when you preface your conversations to young 'uns with " Back in my day...".
My Commodore is older than the person I'm talking to.Hell,I have guitars older than the person I'm talking too.
The blank expression on a kid's face when instructing them to look up a street in a street directory..."Duhh,what's a street directory?"
I caught myself out the other day with my trackkies tucked all the way up to nearly my moobs.
Your daughter says dad turn that old music off.
She changes channel, start singing word for word some young manufactured poppette.
Oh shite, im my, dad !!
I was born in 82.
When one of the guys at work says;
I was talking to this old guy, he was 40's early 50's.
Then when he saw my reaction he said, actually he was probably late 50's.
You know you are getting old when you used your wife bra for your balls LOL
When you remember Peter Sterling playing for Fairfield Pats.
BTW Tank, point 6: Will never happen, point 8: will never happen, half of the rest are already on the cards.
Point 8 is debatable. Have you seen my wife? Things aren't looking to flash for the future.
