Wait till you are 50- it'll make 40 seem young.
You know you are getting on when your kids think your early life was "history", and neither of you remember to pour the cup of tea so when you eventually go to make a cuppa, it is there in the pot, cold and stewed.

Yep, been there, done that......or when you get easily distracted:my house is full of half finished jobs, and I lose things as I've put them down somewhere and forgotten what I was doing.

When you're watching some total crap film with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman and the First Born's boyfriend is lusting after her and thinks I'm weird for thinking Morgan is hot with a sexy sexy voice.

When most times you don't even see the end of the film becase you've nodded off on the sofa halfway through it.

when you start using the following phrases:
"when I were a lad"
"wouldn't have happened in my day"
"bloody youth of today"
or even worse when your subordinates weren't even born when you joined up and you could feasibly be their dad
