A few years ago there is NO WAY I would have even tuned into Radio 4 for anything, but now when the announcer says "and next an interview with the person responsible for trade embargo's in the middle east", I find myself going, hmm, interesting... and I actually listen to the broadcast!
What is happening to me?

A short while before that I caught myself complaining to a mate at the pub about the price of organic avocados at my local grocers.
Getting older seems to involve a lot less time talking about boozing, drugging and shagging and a lot more about the house market and the price of petrol.
These aren't signs of getting older. These are signs of increasing maturity and intelligence.

A bunch of male friends and I were playing a game of poker the other week. We were deep into a conversation when we realised we'd spent the last half hour talking about contemporary dance.
This, however, is just a sign of being a gay.
