Mrs Mav Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 1. You leave clubs before the end to beat the rush 2. You get more exctied about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing 3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer and start dreaming of having a son who might instead 4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section. 5. You prefer Later With Jools Holland to Top Of The Pops 6. All of a sudden Tony Blair is not 46, he's only 46 7. Before going out anywhere, you ask what the parking is like 8. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them because they'll be alright for the garden 9. You buy your first ever T-shirt without anything written on it 10. 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 bench and an electronic mole repellent for the lawn. Not to mention the plastic man for the car to deter would-be thieves 11. You start to worry about your parent's health 12. Sure, you have more disposable income, but everything you want to buy costs between 200 and 500 quid 13. You don't get funny looks when you buy Disney videos or Wallace and Gromit bubble bath, as the sales assistant assumes they are for your child 14. Pop music all starts souding rubbish 15. You opt out for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they don't have any pictures on the menu's anyway, they do a really nice half bottle of house wine 16. You become powerless to resist the lure of self-assembly furniture 17. You always have enough milk in 18. To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go clubbing, you instead frequent really loud tapas restaurants and franchise pubs with wacky names in the mistaken belief that you have not turned into your parents 19. While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon C4's Time Team with Tony Robinson. You get drawn in! 20. The benefits of a pension scheme become clear Viv it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
