The realisation you're getting old

Does anybody else remember snakebite and black? The original alcopop.

oh gosh, I used to drink that at Uni. It got such a "rep" for itself that many pubs started refusing to serve it. I don't think it made you any more drunk than a similar strength pint, but it's hard to pin down all of the variables to say precisely

When you go to a wedding evening "do", and the dancefloor area is too loud so you can't really talk to anyone. I spent the night shouting into people's ears. There was a quieter lounge area but of course no-one I knew was in there

Anything like that was a waste of time for me
Many years later I realised that my hearing is "off" and I can;t separate words in a voice if there is a lot of background noise

It was always a mystery to me how a bloke could approach a girl/woman at a disco and chat her up
I would have no idea what she was saying!!!

I've actually done that in a club and spat on someone when trying to shout in their ear. And I had a cold at the time, it was not pleasant. So I did the right thing and walked off without telling them

Or just snakebite consisting of Merrydown cider and Special Brew. That was one strong mix.

By lip reading, but you had to get real close.
