    It's quite a dramatic jump though adolescence from kid to er - kidult no wonder we tend to feel old at such a young age we need time to settle onto ourselves. once them hormones have settled and distilled it takes decades so stop trying to jump the queue, tykes..

    Happened me for the first time this year.

    Had a few days stubble and was about to shave after brushing my teeth and seen a bit of toothpaste on by stubbly chin on the right just below my lip but it wouldn't come off. Then I noticed the same on left just below my lip and thought: 'That's weird having two bits of dried toothpaste that won't .. ' and then it hit me .. it's white hair, I'm turning into santa claus :eek::eek:


    ohh daddy Nollaig..:)

    Can I wish for snow :D

    When you go upstairs to get three items and come down with only two, then you realise you forgot the third thingamy and say to yourself "Ah feck it I'm not facing them stairs again."
    That's a combination of muscle fatigue and alsheimers

    Some people waste their lives.....

    When you realise that someone who was born in 1990 is now 21 years old!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,677 ✭✭✭staker


    When my Year of Birth doesn't appear on the drop down. It's a long lonely scroll down to 1972:(

    21/23/25 will you people cop on, you're nowhere near old. I'm 33 and dont feel old.

    Agreed, it's stupid to feel old at 21. I'm 32 and don't feel old. I do groan a bit when getting out of a deep chair, but that's just my back and lack of exercise. I'm far happier now then I was at 21.

    ...when you remember the clothes the young people are wearing from the first time round

    ...when you realise you don't give a sh1t about the latest music/fashion/zeitgeist sensation

    ...when it all starts to go south for the winter...

    I'm not going to fancy grannies, I'm just going to lower my standards to what is (theoretically) achievable.

    When Jurrasic Park was re-released this year. I remember going to see it as a teenager, and that movie is now old enough to legally drink :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,193 ✭✭✭✭Kerrydude1981


    If 21 is now deemed old op that means 30 should be the new pension age :)

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭Junco Partner


    today, i turned 19, nothing left to look forward to. no landmark ages left i can do pretty much everything except drink in the states. i'm edging closer to that eternal **** on a spinning fan that is the real world.

    When I see a chick in a super mini skirt, my first thought is; "Chriiiist, she'll get herself a kidney infection in that get up!!"

    I'm 21 and while I don't feel old I do have some old moments :D

    Walking in a supermarket and a young kid walks past me, mother goes 'Watch the Lady there'. First time it happened I just stopped and went into shock. Definity means I'm getting older.

    Falling asleep at 11pm - sometimes I can hardly make it to 11pm :pac:

    I don't drink much anymore, personal choice really, but when I do I'm such a lightweight it's not even funny.

    I'm starting to get broody - at 21!! :eek: I keep telling myself I can have kids later, but I don't want to be an old mother ahhhh, my brain is winning a loosing battle at the moment haha.

    When I looked at a CD and couldn't tell which was the name of the band or the name of the album.
