Fun stuff
Being over 30
You leave gigs before the encore to "beat the rush".
Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them because they'll be all right for the garden.
You buy your first ever T-shirt without anything written on it.
Instead of laughing at the Innovations catalogue that falls out of the newspaper, you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving properties of a plastic winter cover for your garden bench.
You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disney video or a Wallace and Gromit bubble bath, as the sales assistant assumes they are for your child.
You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they don't have any pictures on the menus and anyway, they do a really nice half-bottle of house white.
To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go clubbing, you instead frequent really loud restaurants and franchise pubs with wacky names in the mistaken belief that you have not turned into your parents.
You actually find yourself saying "They don't make 'em like that anymore" and "I remember when there were only 3 TV channels..."
When sitting outside a pub you become envious of their hanging baskets.
