You need to change sports then. How about power walking?

Or fishing.

Although casting can rick your back.

Taking days to recover from a run is my major downside from getting old.

Ah, sport, sport! Where do I start? I do various sports but they are all tapping me on the shoulder...

Mail Online is free.

I don't buy any papers. I may sometimes read those left around by others but it has yet to convince me I'm missing anything interesting by not having a daily addiction.

Besides, everyone knows CUK is the only source of news most people need. All the truly important or entertaining stuff ends up on here within minutes of it breaking online.

It is sad than some journalist gets paid for writing such crap that must have taken him at least five minutes to write and even more sad that people pay money for newspapers with such crap un them.

2. Hating noisy pubs


Depends if you prefer to socialise by chatting to people, or just by nodding your head at any attempted conversation whilst simultaneously staring at the biggest breasts in the line of sight.

Funny how in TV (e.g. corrie) and film during a bar or club scene they can hear a conversation from metres away, yet in real life unless you're in a music free zone (such as Wetherspoons) you struggle to hear the person shouting directly into your ear.

There should be a noise tax on pubs and clubs.

Though then I wouldn't have the excuse to just stand there supping beer and staring at norks.

Woo hoo

Is it bad if you remember this?

For the record I don't mind sherry and never really knew who was ever in the top ten.

"The study for Engage Mutual Assurance... Tina Clare of Engage Mutual said..." - so, a press release from Engage Mutual dressed up as a news story. Have this company purchased advertising space in the Mail by any chance?

I'm also left wondering how they got to the headline "The 30 telltale signs that you're really getting old" when the story itself states that "While some of the high-scoring indicators may be part of the process of getting older, they are not necessarily the sole preserve of the older generation" - in other words, they are not signs that you are getting old. Still, it's pretty much standard for a Mail story's final paragraph to completely contradict the attention-grabbing headline
