-You had a rooster named Barney -You bought a black sweater with buttons on the shoulder just like Steve's in TPK video -Your formerly country-and-classic-rock-listening hubby now drops Factory references like one of you lads -You're secretly glad when aforementioned hubby comes home from the barber with his hair shaved too close on the back & sides -You're coming to Manchester for your birthday and the Bad Lieutenant gig, not necessarily in that order -You actually admit this shit to strangers on the internet
You consider watching Shadowplayers on your next date if you haven't already alienated him or her by watching 24 Hour Party People, Control, the Joy Division documentary and New Order Story within a single month.
You manage to include the full versions of Elgia, Prime 586 and the Peter Saville soundtrack onto those "essential New Order listening" mixed CDRs which your friends will never listen to.

fuck I wish I had one of those...
you get your mum to knit you a batwing jumper loike the one tony wilson wore.
so extraordainairy.
You do a mix tape for your mum and she starts playing along to the songs on her keyboard (i learnt vanishing point that way).
Your mum asks "why is he is singing about another man?" on 1963.
... You ask someone to buy NO items from eBay ,for your birthday that's coming up, now because they may be gone soon.
(In my case...) When you regret being born way too late.(I was born the same year True Faith came out!) When your pics on your desktop wallpaper are NO related. When you bought the Marion album (This World and Body) at a secondhand shop, thinking 'Phil was in this band!' When your ringtones and phone wallpaper are NO related. When you sing New Order when you go to karaoke. When you start collecting a bunch of New Order remixes---but mainly the ones that retain the vocals (no instrumental remixes please!)

- when your kids can pick out a NO song playing in the market
When your kids can slag off 'new, fresh, upcoming' bands for 'sounding too new-Ordery' & being 'NO rip-offs'
When you explore the depths of youtube, for dodgy TOTP, and/or vintage concert footage, and actually enjoy the low quality.
When you still wait for the Apollo 1998 footage.

I was born within days of its release!
the first i did when i'd passed my driving test was 'knock on' for steve,
well i drove to just outside his house without the balls to knock on
you have an unhealthy liking of windmills
Toolbox wrote: I'm sorry, I don't like it.
Something functional like a windmill should be designed to maximise it's functionality. Any aesthetic qualities should accentuate, or at least complement, the basic requirements of the functional specification. I feel that this windmill compromises its functional value in favour of fancy form and is therefore an ornament.
Additionally, it's beautiful legs give me a hard on and you just can't go around fancying windmills
the savvy customers at the cafe you work at remark "you know, you look like bernard sumner" as you sing along to Age of Consent while pulling espresso shots.

Closest match I've seen around here is a very butch teller at my bank. Classic Barney hair circa 1985. Not sure she's aware of this.
Your main reason for going on myspace at all these days is to read Peter Hook's blogs, even if they're a little cryptic sometimes.

Guilty as charged. "Transmission" is my ringback.

Actually, somewhere in my apartment is a mix with "Prime 586" on it, I kid you not.

"True Faith" two years ago. Best Karaoke night ever.

Now I feel old. I was born the year "Blue Monday" came out. It's only older than me by some 7 or 8 months.

Argh, I wanted to do that and I still haven't. Damnit.
And now, You Know You're a New Order fan when...
- You sing along and dance to "The Perfect Kiss." At work.
- You sing along and dance to "Blue Monday." At work.
- You sing along and dance to "Temptation '87." At work.
- You sing along and dance to Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." At work.
- You do any of these, and get some seriously strange looks from coworkers, but don't care and continue to do them anyway, 'cause those songs just fookin' rock.
You spend 58 quid on a boxset of an album you don't particularly like! 
(Including a t-shirt that won't fit me)!
