When did you become old?

d.anthony

When did you stop having the craic as much, is what I mean, when did you notice that you had become 'old'?

copacetic

When I clicked into this thread.

brummytom

When it stopped being acceptable for me to piss myself in public.


I look forward to those days again

Superbus

When Pokémon lost it's appeal.

Dudess

Kinda just around now (32) - up to only a few months ago I couldn't bear staying in on a weekend night. Tbh though, it doesn't bother me, which is kinda the ultimate sign of "oldness"...

W.Shakes-Beer

When I was born.

When you walk in a pub and young men dont check you out as a threat.

Good point. I most certainly always will too.

easyeason3

First I was told the truth about Santa & more recently I got engaged.

It's a lot to take in.

mikom

Stick in shed especially for stirring paint.

Genghiz Cohen

When I could only go on one ride at Funderland because of horrific motion sickness.

marbar

when i discovered that the family pet hadnt actually gone to a farm
took me 15 years to cop that one

FarmerGreen

When you read the obituaries and snigger.

stovelid

You don't become old and stop having fun. You just prioritize and have to plan the fun a little more.

I think, anyway.

FarmerGreen

If I live much longer, I'll be as old as me dad when he snuffed it.

gogo

When the idea of camping, and camping at a music festival at that, horrified me.

Hhmm

classic sign, my dad used to keep lots of old bits of wood, never seemed to use any of it mind, but it was all very important.

marbar

you must have a stick
i dont care what anyone says

I'm 21, i know its still 'young' in alot of people's books but i doubt i will ever lose the will to have the odd bit of craic, or still mess. I might get a bit more responsible but thats about it

FarmerGreen

I will do it, tomorrow, just remind me.

FearDark

I know im old because I find myself smiling indulgently at statments like that, as in i remember those good old days.

Eventually you turn into your worst nightmare.

I thought it was when you grumbled about things like dreadlocks, hippies and skateboards until my friends pointed out that I hated them more when I was 19...

KittyeeTrix

Fcuk it, I'm 36 and have never felt younger!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Age is only a state of mind OP:D

The music on the radio now is insanely talentless rubbish.
Its not like it used to be.
Proper songs, with words and singing.
All they do now is jibber away over a tune.
I can't be asked to listen to it any more.

Ush1

All went downhill after 21.

FarmerGreen

Turn your I-thing down as well, its rattling my dentures.
No consideration for other people.

It was the same in "naughties" and for the mostpart of the 90's. Shít sells, and people are getting dumber.

Are you sure you aren't just remembering the good music that was previously played on the radio?
The music that is now played on the radio is rubbish of course, but that doesn't mean there isn't a small amount of good music getting through.

So basically in 10 years people will look back on now and more see the good artists, as opposed to the bad ones.

Also, Jedward are number one in the album charts for the second week running...

FarmerGreen

So true
Crystal Swing and Daniel O'Donell.
How can a working musician compete with that.

Yeah, there is no way I am going to Electric Picnic - although my friends my age are all heading. Again. No matter how great the reports are each year though, they just cannot persuade me to go.

Ah no, just my take.
I still love going out, I just don't get freaked out by the thought of not doing so every weekend. It's more of a novelty when it's not a weekly event anyway. That's the way things were when I was 17 so in a way, I'm regressing to my yoof. :pac:

I had a mid-life crisis and ditched modding to be down with the regular user kids. :cool:

Although every generation says that about the younger generation's music, I think, objectively, that's never been more true than today.

Mint Sauce

when i seen one of my youngest relatives, who i held as a baby, heading out for the night, or even bumping into her on a night out.

:eek:

When you get a shed and start to think all kinda of things could go on in there but some never make it. Then theres the fitting out ohh I could go on all night about me and my shed !

Its when you starts obsessing about tidying the shed that you are truly middle aged.

Joan Fontaine

A better question would be 'when did I know I was old?' and that was when I realised i was reading boards.ie at 1.55am instead of being out partying

Biggins

When did I become old?
The day I married my first wife!
