Inspired by the following found online. (Source unknown

"Honestly it's not how I look that reveals my age.

It's my use of full sentences and punctuation when I type."

So apart from physical appearance what reveals your age?

My taste in music.

My lack of interest in some online apps that seem popular with people in work.

A good night out now would be a meal or concert and good company as oppose to drink and a nightclub.

And knowing if I do drink to not drink a lot as hangovers are not worth it.

Less your age more your moral compass. I had a horrible dream last night that about 1000 Nazi's descended on Letterkenny and i went to see them thinking there would only be a few and the whole town was taken over and i could only walk really slowly through them to get away before i was discovered, so scary
