Old age happens to us all eventually. One day you’re playing Xbox until 3am, the next you can’t remember where you left it. However, it is possible to still act and feel young even though your bladder is in full revolt. Just look at Michael Douglas. Despite the recent health scare and having a face like a chimp’s scrotum, he’s clearly enjoying life. He may be a father but he doesn’t behave like a dad. With that in mind, here’s a little questionnaire that may stop you turning into your old man.

1: It’s a cold winter’s night and your partner wants to turn up the thermostat. Do you?

a) Turn it way up, strip down to your shorts and hold an impromptu Hawaiian party

c) Tell her to put on a bigger sweater and then post an armed guard on the dial

2: Do you see the Interstate speed limit as?

a) A challenge
b) An arbitrary figure – breaking it by a few mph can’t hurt
c) The absolute maximum, which should be reduced in adverse conditions, like night time

3: You are watching a new release DVD movie with friends and family. Do you?

a) Time the beer runs during the boring, non-nudey bits

c) 93

9: What’s the most important feature when buying a car?

So, how did you do? Read on…

Mostly A’s: There’s no danger of you ever turning into your dad. You’ll be dead long before that happens.

Mostly B’s: You’re well-balanced and sensible but still cling onto the fun things in life. Just be careful and seek help the second you start talking about central heating to anyone other than a repairman.

Mostly C’s: Amazing! It’s possible that you are more dad-like than your dad. What are you doing on a site like Swagger? Surely you should be pestering the police about skateboarding kids or something?
