When you are sitting in a fetching blue gown in the cardiac unit it your local hospital.

No. Not in the least like a ball gown.  

Although, the only time I had to wear one was when I was having a ball done.  I put it on back-to-front, thinking they'd need to get at the front...

When your back goes out more than you do.

You make plans to do nothing.

Your clothes have been fashionable twice now and it won't be long till the next time.

For any youngsters tuning in tonight, so much of this is scarily true!!

Rocker

When you look at youngsters and think: "they think they invented Rock & Roll, Sex, all night raves etc."

When you have to go to bed early because the grandchildren are visiting tomorrow.

...when you're the same age as your father-in-law was when you first bonked his daughter in the back seat of their Volkswagen Golf.  And you have a daughter who will soon be that age so you're seriously considering selling your car and taking up public transport.

Going to the kitchen for a cuppa involves the pain of getting out of a comfy chair

You are surprised at correctly figuring out who a song is by on BBC 6 Music, before its back-announced....

when one of the following shows up in something you say on a daily basis:
- too long in the tooth
- not at my age
- back in the day

I personally hate all of those little phrases..
they say to me "it's time to give up living and make ready to die"

You get served a beer in a jam jar, get rinsed for £6.50 for the privilege, and drink it anyway despite the fact that you. Do. Not. Get. Why. It is not in a proper glass. 

And you moan like fuck the whole time you're drinking it. And those clothes? What's he come as? And why am I sat on a recycled school chair with nails poking out of it? I'm sure this place used to be an ironmongers, it'd be more use to me if it was. 

And you don't realise you're doing it. You used to do it ironically when you were on the verge of realising that you preferred pubs with comfortable seats and no music, and you used to joke a bit about how you were getting old but now it's autopilot. 

That's when you know you're old.

And you start threads on a guitarists' forum about cryptic crosswords. 

That as well.

When you have to *make* yourself play the guitar.

When you're on your laptop and spend half the time shouting "NOOO, you bastard thing" or "oh for fucks sake!" at it because it doesn't do what you want, although it's all your fault. I do this a lot according to my wife. Oops.

This, absolutely.  Why doesn't the bloody thing know what I meant/wanted it to do?

LOL - in fact it was a ball grown!  

The right testicle swelled up like a cricket ball due to a hernia - had to have surgery to repair the hernia and remove the hydrocele (the swelling around the testicle).
