When did you realise you were getting old?

G-Money

Today when I read that in 2015 it will be twenty years since Oasis released What's the Story. I couldn't believe it will be twenty years. I remember buying that album and listening to it for the first time, like it was yesterday.

I was in bed one Saturday afternoon about 6 months ago there with a girl I'd met the Friday before hand at a party. Anyway we were just lying there not wanting to get up and watching that Reeling in the Years show. It was the 1990 one with Italia '90 in it. Anyways at the part where O Leary slots through that all important penalty I turn to her and say "ha, that's like Ireland's JFK moment isn't it? Everyone remembers where they were...". So she says "not me Strobe". "Ahh c'mon even if you weren't into football, everyone watched that match, you must have some recollection?". "It was two years before I was born, Strobe...".

Ouch...

(Also the moment I learned I can not do simple maths when I panic :eek:. Was a tense few minutes there, let me tell ye.)

When I told my niece to 'run upstairs' and get me something. I remembered how much I hated people making me do that when I was a kid.

Damn, she was fast, though. Up and down those stairs like lightening. I sure as hell can't move that fast these days.

Now, cause I find that dresses are too short or can't wear them as short as I used too!:o

Why? I don't get how age affects that.

Getting old? I realised I had gotten old, although I still think I look fairly sprightly, when a heavily pregnant young woman stood up in a tram and offered me her seat.:o:o:o

Since the Lion King 3D movie has come out, the original was out nearly 20 years ago! Use to watch it when I were younger.

Found a combat pants that was part of my old FCA uniform when I was a teenager that still had its belt on it. At the time I was a 26" waist and now
I'm a 36" waist size. I remember at the time as a teenager thinking I would never ever ever get a beer belly or mid life spread.....yet here I am a fat bastard! Baaahhh Humbug. :mad:

This week I felt really old, Jimmy Savile dies and I discuss it at work
and none of the new guys in work have ever heard of Jim'll Fix It :eek:

Feeling old today when chatting in work and nobody knew who Kate Bush is!!!!

Feeling old also this week when people never heard of Automan, Buck Rogers, The Original Battle star Galactica, Manimal and street hawk.

Son Of A Vidic

When I noticed?

When I stooped down to pick something off the floor, I heard this Banshee like wail. As I went to look around, I realised it was coming from me.

I realised I was getting old when the barber offered to trim my eyebrows and cut the hair growing out of my ears with the sideburn strimmer

Arnold Layne

When I calculate simple sums on my head when everyone around are using calculators.

When you pull a girl half your age and its legal.

Today, when I passed a few girls in Marino listening to Cascada and Pitbull tracks on their phones while screaming about how great they are. I thought "what a load of crap" and proceeded to listen to The Beatles.

newbee22

Last night, wore tights going out because I was too cold and I wore a coat- Im the girl that doesn't believe in jackets, even in winter!:(

Mint Sauce

When I bumped into my 17 year cousin and her older brother, that I used to babysit, in a night club.

Dudess

newbee22: what has age got to do with that? More likely to do with weight-loss.

YoureSoVain

when you realise that a potential boy/girl friend is not just old enough to have children but could actually be a grandparent
And today I caught myself staring out the window at children kicking a ball near my car.... I was just waiting to go out and shout at them

Interceptor

I'm 44. I must be the oldest person in this thread. I certainly feel like it. Make two cups of tea, sit down here and we'll talk about the old days when I used to get pilled off me face, drink JD until I could see the back of my own head and go to sleep in the back seat of my car on the side of the road.

Pfft, just wait until your bladder starts waking you at half four in the morning. I used to control it, now it controls me.

Jeez, you must be well old.

Interceptor, surely anyone could be woken by needing to go for a wee?

Pighead

Last month.

Pighead went to see Suede play their reunion gig. Once you go and see you're old favourite band play a reunion gig the games well and truly up.
