33/50
I think it was Terry Wogan or John Bishop that said that one of the first signs of getting old was going into a room and forgetting why you went in, especially when it's the toilet.

10/50 but I'm not saying which ones!
A couple of the others like misplacing things and putting everyday objects in the wrong place I have been doing pretty much all my life, so they don't count - do they?
I must admit I felt I was getting old last week when I had to go out and buy painkillers because my knee was giving me hell after pounding the pavements all day on a city break - I used to be able to walk for hours and hours with no problem, but apparently not any longer. I refuse to wear trainers or horrible things like Birkenstocks so probably my own fault.

I am retiring this year, but I still do not think that I am old enough to listen to Radio 2, given the music they play.

That list appeared in the 'Metro' (a free paper you can pick up at the railway station for those that haven't seen it) earlier in the week. It was written in white writing on a red background in (I say) small type. I couldn't even read it!!!!!!!!!!
