1. You leave clubs before the end to "beat the rush". (worst still you don't go to the clubs)
2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing the night before.
3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer / basketball player and start dreaming of having a son who might instead.
4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section.
5. All of a sudden, middle aged people are not 46, they are only 46.
6. Before going out anywhere, you ask whether there is anywhere to park.
7. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them because they'll be alright for the DIY or in the garden.
8. You buy T-shirts without anything written on them.
9. Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out of the newspaper,you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving properties of most of the things that are in it.
10. You start to worry about your parents' health.
11. You have more disposable income, but everything you want or need to buy costs between 200 and 500 quid.
12. You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disneyvideo or a Wallace And Gromit bubble bath,as the sales assistant assumes they are for your
children.
13. Pop music all starts to sound the same.
14. You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they do a really nice half-bottle of house red.
15 You always have enough milk in.
16. To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go clubbing, you instead frequent trendy bars and restaurants in the mistaken belief that you have not turned into your parents.
17. While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon C4's Time

20. You wish you had a shed.
21. You have a shed.
22. You actually find yourself saying "They don't make 'em like that anymore" and "I remember when there were only 4 TV channels" and "Not in my day...."
23. Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 - and Jeremy Vine has
some really interesting guests on.
24. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus, You tut at rowdy school children.
25. When sitting outside apub you admire their hanging baskets.
26. You find yourself saying "is it cold in here or is it just me
27. You understand the above and forward it to your fellow aging friends.

1. You leave clubs before the end to "beat the rush". (worst still you don't go to the clubs)
Don't go to clubs - they are of shit!
2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing the night before.
Sunday roast ftw tbh!
3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer / basketball player and start dreaming of having a son who might instead.
Fucking right, he can look after me!
4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section.
Yep 
5. All of a sudden, middle aged people are not 46, they are only 46.
Or in my case 36....
6. Before going out anywhere, you ask whether there is anywhere to park.
You need to know these things!
7. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them because they'll be alright for the DIY or in the garden.
I have a pair I wear for mowing the lawn and another pair for decorating and old boots for working on the car 
8. You buy T-shirts without anything written on them.
Hmmm, only cheap ones for work or wearing under shirts, but generally they have some form of design on them.
9. Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out of the newspaper,you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving properties of most of the things that are in it.
I do need a solar powered montion detector floodlight for my garage actually....
10. You start to worry about your parents' health.
Of course I do! Who doesn't?!
11. You have more disposable income, but everything you want or need to buy costs between 200 and 500 quid.
New carpets for my stairs? Check!
12. You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disneyvideo or a Wallace And Gromit bubble bath,as the sales assistant assumes they are for your
children.
I have no kids so I don't generally do this! 
13. Pop music all starts to [sound the same.
It has done for years!
14. You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they do a really nice alf-bottle of house red.
I don't drink wine but I prefer to cook my own food these days than get fast food.
15 You always have enough milk in.
Got loads - I even get the long life stuff! 
16. To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go clubbing, you instead frequent trendy bars and restaurants in the mistaken belief that you have not turned into your parents.
I do prefer bars/pubs to clubs any day of the week.
17. While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon C4's Time
Team with TonyRobinson. You get drawn in. Grand Designs also appeals.
I have Grand Designs and Property Ladder on series link on Sky+ (and The Apprentice and The F Word)
Time Team can GTF though!
18. The benefits of a pension scheme become clear.
I can't wait until I retire - gonna be minted! 
19. You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from B&Q.
Bit unsure, I just go in, decide what paint I want there and then and buy it - but normally bring a colour chart home with me....
20. You wish you had a shed.
Errrr, I wish I had my own garage if that counts?
21. You have a shed.
I do have my own shed (for now)
22. You actually find yourself saying "They don't make 'em like that anymore" and "I remember when there were only 4 TV channels" and "Not in my day...."
Never said it but I do agree!
23. Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 - and Jeremy Vine has some really interesting guests on.
Nah - I listen to Radio 1 for Chris Moyles, if he moves to Radio 2 then so shall I!
24. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the bus, You tut at rowdy school children.
Yep!
25. When sitting outside apub you admire their hanging baskets.
Sometimes.....
26. You find yourself saying "is it cold in here or is it just me
Yes I do
27. You understand the above and forward it to your fellow aging friends.
Possibly 
I'm almost 31 btw
