One thing that scared me earlier this year - in a motorsport magazine I used to write for, I remember once seeing a snippet congratulating a driver on the safe arrival of his son. A few weeks ago I commentated on the son taking his first race win in the same class his dad used to race in.

I know that probably doesn't make sense, but it doesn't seem five minutes since I read the original announcement.

Ha - you pesky youngsters (I'm a day older than you)!

I was saying to the barber only last week, it used to be "Something for the weekend, sir?". Now's it's "Do you want me to trim your ears?".

Ah well, no point fighting it... spin

Getting old is like a roll of toilet paper. You seem to get to the last bit much quicker than you got to the middle.

You know you are getting old when nude pictures of a female celebrity are released and on viewing them your first thought is that you have no idea who they are.
I only turned 24 the other day, and I still had to go to IMDB for most of them...

Perspective! yes Once past sixty, one needs a skateboard just to keep up with it all.

Snap, Crackle and Pop is no longer the noise a popular cereal makes, but the sound you make when you get out of bedgrumpy
