Nothing wrong with getting old sher if you weren't getting old...you'd be dead!

I'm 28 and do not feel 28 at all - more like 18/19!

At different stages I felt old then others I felt young. When I had a GF I was "jaysus I'm too young to be be in an LTR I should be out having the craic".


Then as soon as I was single I was thinking that I was getting old fast need to think about settling down:rolleyes:

But now I'm doing what I should've done in my late teens/early twenties so I feel a bit younger. I'm 25.

I have, on occasion, made a noise when I've bent down to pick something up.

The settling down aspect is definitely the part that makes me feel like I'm getting old.

I have something of a social life (thankfully) but thats because I'm in college, so I'll see how I get on with that.

When I walked into a small town stop and shop area to buy fegs, a wee boy said ''Oh lads stand away and let the MAN go first.''

that was it in the bag for me right there.

It's the same for women, (even refering to myself as a woman sounds odd as opposed to girl) a mother with a child about to bump into you or something and the mother says watch out for the lady.

:mad: i'm not a 70year old lady!

I was coming out of Perth W.A. in 1992 and suddenly discovered that I could only fill in the customs clearance form with great difficulty. Something to do with the lighting, I think?
It was my first indication of impending decrepitude.
There have been many since!

I have definitely noticed a few "getting older" signs in the last year or two - but I kinda enjoy some of them. :pac:

I noticed this today too. A mother and toddler were sitting behind me on a bus earlier and their young boy was sitting beside me. I stood up to get off, and the mother asked the boy to "let the man out." Being described as a "man" feels weird to me!

On the plus side I'm now the 'older more maturer man' that younger girls go for and younger guys hate.

I work with alot of people younger than me. One told me I should go to a late bar instead of the nightclub as thats more for people my age. I'm 24!

Also crazy to think some people are so young they don't remember a time when there was no reality TV or X Factor etc.

Mensch Maschine

It came in a dream. It was Christopher Walken and he said, you are getting old and I went "prove it" and he showed me a card trick and I forgot all about it.

When you cant bloody read text speak. Im 23:o

I am in my 40's and the realisation that I was getting old hit me when the remake of "Footloose" was released because I clearly remember the original!!!!

Agricola

When I realized there is a whole generation of people in college now who weren't long out of nappies when I myself was in college - a generation of people for whom the whole Oasis v Blur thing and by extension the associated Fr. Ted reference, mean nothing.......... :eek:
