There's a lot of supposedly comical lists made along the lines of "signs you're getting old" that are full of things like "you leave a gig before the encore to avoid the rush" or "whenever you go somewhere, your first question is 'what is the parking like?'" or "your idea of festival revolves around craft stalls."
I had this morning off and ended up in town enjoying a coffee in Starbucks. We all know how nice it is out so I decided to drink it outside. Now I would've enjoyed it a lot more if it weren't for a group of kids that were sat on the bench opposite talking loudly amongst themselves, I found myself thinking "bloody kids" and "why aren't they in school?"
"Bloody kids" ???!!!
"Why aren't they in school?"??!!!
That's it; I'm turning into an old man early. It's not like they were really young kids either. When I thought about it I figured they'd have to be on study leave for exams which means they're at least 16 if not older for 'A' levels and here I am calling them "kids." Man did I feel old all of a sudden. Like Victor Meldrew sitting there bitching.
Forget enjoying a nice Sunday walking around a garden centre I think I'm ready for my slippers now. Next thing you know I'll be commenting that policemen are looking younger and younger.
