    You know you're getting old when you start out-living buildings :eek:

    Two in Dublin city that I can remember being built (Rathmines Swimming Pool and an office building on the canal) have recently been knocked and rebuilt. Very depressing!

    You know you are getting old when not only do you remember your school being built, and later you remember it being demolished to make way for new (ha) houses, but the local education authority doesn't know what you mean when you ask about pictures of the place.

    You should have done what I did - I took a photo of my old school before they tore it down. I must have been the cleverest in that school as I have the only photo in existence of the place!

    You only feel old when you admit it to yourself. Think young and cop on. Fook them all when you are still standing on your feet.

    You know that self-service till in Tesco.

    When you buy Booze, you need a Supervisor, to insert a secret code,

    They have three options,

    1. ID checked

    2. It's obvious he's over 21

    3. It's VERY obvious he's over 21

    Mine keeps picking option 3 .

    I was so disappointed when I found the name username "zx81" was already being used and then abandoned just to the waste ground. Really should poke Admin about recycling old user names.
