Blur - The Universal

Here's how to tell if your youth is on the way out.

One, check your wardrobe. If you're thinking that looking like an extra from Sesame Street is no longer working for you, you may be getting old. One point.

You decide a lovely jumper is preferable to getting baadered, add another point.

Of course, some of us may always have appreciated a lovely jumper. But there is one test that tells you youth is gone. That test is when a record you treasured as a teenager is then used to advertise a car or financial product at you, fifteen years later.

"The Universal" is one of these. It now hoicks life insurance at me, which is apt. I am now at the stage where I may consider it useful, despite having done all the bad stuff in my twenties.
