2. My backs goin

3. My memory ain't what it used to be

I say I want a cup of tea and I'm only 20. So I wouldn't really class that as a sign of getting old.

I've done that since I was 20.

The other day can be any time in the last 24 months.

Gerard · 7 Feb 2008 at 15:35

Being tired quite a lot. When i was younger i was hyper always running around. The mere thought of running now sends me into a coma..for a few hours.

Oh yeah and hairloss, always love seeing someone ive not seen in a while and them asking about it like its something ive not noticed. :rolleyes:

Also it just struck me the other day i was talking to a friend about something that happened near 20 years ago, i just stopped mid sentence and said **** me, TWENTY YEARS AGO??? :eek:

Hate · 7 Feb 2008 at 15:38

I've done all 3 of those things and i'm just in my mid 20s!

For max effect that needed to be:

1. My memory ain't what it used to be

2. My hair dissappeard a while back (but I have to admit it was cut off.... a painful experience)

3. My backs goin

4. My memory ain't what it used to be
