I just realized that Stone Cold Steve Austin last wrestled his last match 10 years ago and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers album Californication is 14 years old, have you realized recently a certain event/thing is alot older than you think.

We've been using Euro notes and coins for 11 years :eek: and some people are still going on about them as 'new' (especially in France!)

I keep getting French receipts with Francs on the end as a helpful reminder for people who can't adapt after more than a decade.

On Saturday I mentioned He-Man to someone and they'd never heard of him...

My girlfriend's 14 year old brother hadn't heard of Kurt Cobain when I mentioned him the other day :eek:

Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

On the other hand, mobile phones and the internet have only been popular with the general public about 15 years or so. Seems much longer to me.

As a rule of thumb, if I can remember it happening it's recent, if I can't it's old. For example, I still think of The Santa Clause as a recent Christmas film (not new, but still recent) and probably always will, whereas I think of Santa Claus (Dudley Moore) as an old Christmas film because I've always known it as an old film, even though it was about 10 years old when I first saw it compared to the more recent one which must now be close to 20 years old.

The Earth was created millions of years ago although many people in America think it only happened a few thousand years ago.

i know the feeling i was watching the Simpsons new series where they go back to New York and Marge says "just once I'd love to see your father on a jumbotron for something good" that's when I thought 'but he did in the dancing homer episode' then the sinking realisation set in that the guys writing the episode are probably too young to even remember that episode
