I
generally find not drinking tea or coffee to be a drawback – an
unsaid barrier between colleagues, a missed opportunity for rare
freebies, very unBritish... Over the last week, for the first time
ever my unusual tea/coffee aversion has actually worked to my
advantage. Metro (and I'm sure many other publications) printed a
list of fifty telltale signs that a person is getting old:
I'm
only recently coming to grips with my age and becoming more accepting
of inevitable changes so pitting myself against the list was quite a
relief. Of the fifty symptoms of old age The Engage Mutual friendly
society found after their survey of 2,000 people, I'm glad to
honestly say only 12 are representative of the 33 year-old me (I'll
leave those of you who know me well to guess which of the 50 I
exhibit).
Having
delighted in my relatively low result, I stumbled across two other laughable/ interesting articles. One detailing a 52 year-old French
mother's attempt to sit her 19 year-old daughter's English
baccalaureate exam for University:
What
struck me most about this article was not her amusing teen costume
but the fact that it took invigilators two hours of the three hour
exam to spot her deception. Equally amazing, is a new YouTube craze
for whispered role play:
I'm
not sure about the whole idea but as someone prone to bouts of
insomnia, I'm willing to give it a go and may even one day blog about
my excursion to the ASMR world...
