You rewatch a film and realise you have pretty much no memory of what is going to happen.

Rewatched Manhattan Murder Mystery last night with the wife. Don’t think I’ve seen it since it came out in 1993. Apart from a couple of scenes I had forgotten it completely and even rewatching it didn’t really bring anything back.

About the only think I remember is liking it more the first time around!

Other signs of advanced age?

When you don't care what anyone thinks of you any more.

Mind you, that happened to me when I was about twenty.

When you fall over, and people say you've had a fall. Only old people have had a fall, everyone else fell over.

This is the only true metric to decide of someone is old. There are other indicators, like your narrow waist and broad mind swapping places, but they aren't 100% reliable.

Boasting about your age, rather than trying to conceal it.

The preserve of small children and the properly elderly.

When you notice the top half of the radiator is cooler than the bottom half.

When you say ahhhhh as you sit down and fart.

When you can't wait to have a piss as soon as you come in the house.

When you realise you are doing exactly the same things that your father did which at the time made him seem very old.
