Your two year old daughter is more adept at using the Ipod than you are.

You try to stay up late on a Saturday night but still end up going to bed at 9.30.

Any others?

All of it oh so true!

And you know you're old when you rise from your chair, stiff and achey, and you exclaim "oh, my back!".

Ha, and I should add this for the general amusement: I sat in the bus reading my kindle when the woman next to me said: "oh, is this one of the new-fangled telex machines". She was old too.

You wake up every morning with a new ache; prefer to drink in pubs without a jukebox and say things like "when I was young we ate what we were given; this isn't a cafe you know!"

You tell yourself being forty something is still quite young. As for ipods or ipads, I haven't a clue, I've only just got a mobile phone(bought for me;about £10 from asda) and it takes me about 15 minutes to send a brief text.
