    My back and my knees. And, increasingly, my shoulders.

    1. Realising that my knee feels like one belonging to a 70 year old.

    2. Seeing politicians being put forward as leader of the Labour party who are younger than me.

    3. When we took on some apprentices at work and i realised that i started work after university 8 years before they were born.

    4. Being reminded by my step daughter that i have more hair growing out of my nose and ears than i have growing on my head.

    5. When Boy George was on the telly and my step sons girlfriend had no idea who he was.

    On the flip side, my partner is 10 years older than me and for some reason recently she was talking about royal weddings with her friend when she turned to me and said i can't remember having a day off work when Charles and Diana got wed, can you?. No dear, I was 12.

    The day after a piss up waking up with my tounge glued tp the top of my head my eyes on fire and a stomach that sounds like a blocked drain. Five years ago a piss up was no hassle. These days...

    What makes me feel old is the premier league season.

    My nephew went to his first match that season as a five year old and I was saving for a deposit on my first house.

    He's now graduated and bought a house of his own.

    Seeing footballers younger than you retire...

    Actually, becoming a great uncle was a bit of a shock - especially as I was still in my 30s at the time.
