    Realising you can't do everything you used to be able to. Was at Center Parcs this weekend and went swimming a few times, played badminton, golf and did lots of walking. Fitness wise I'm fine and was able to do it all without as problem but I ache like f**k today.

    When I’m equally excited about the lie-in at my Manchester hotel on Wednesday morning as I am about the game tomorrow night.

    Caving in and buying a ear and nose trimmer. Even worse, being excited at the prospect of finally owning one after years of tweezers and tears!

    After watching a TV program that didn't make sense I assumed I'd fallen asleep at some point. 

    I watched it through again only to discover that I hadn't fallen asleep.  I simply didn't understand wtf was going on.   :/

    Made a reference to a younger colleague the other month about something being so farcical I was expecting Jeremy Beadle to jump out.

    She had no clue what I meant.

    Get this with the blokes I work with, as I'm the oldest (out of 4 of us) when music comes on the radio, I sing along to it and they've never heard of the song. This happens at least a couple of times a week.

    It's quite strange as I've always felt like the youngest in life in general, I'm the youngest cousin on both mum and dad's side of the family, and the youngest in my oldest group of friends, so after returning from 12 years in the French wilderness, I'm coming in to the working world again, at an age bracket where a lot of people are younger than me. Our CEO for example, is 33!

    This is the main reason I've jacked my job to go back working for myself again, at least I'm the youngest again lol
