    Knowing that fast n the furious came out in 2002'.... Has it really been 17 years ago that I sat in the cinema with a fine teenage girl watching that movie ? Ye I feel old.

    Walking along the pavement beside a low wall, and not instinctively hopping on and walking atop it.

    Having a sense of danger, also. It's very comfortable not having broken a bone in a long time, but it does remind me that I'm old now.

    When some teenagers I know started talking about how they loved the music of Billy Idol. I thought to myself, there's hope for the world yet.... but then it turned out I had misheard, they were talking about Billie Eilish.

    I had to google to find out who she was ....

    Not to be pedantic, (and assuming it's the first Fast & Furious your talking about), but The Fast and the Furious came out in 2001....

    Great Lemmy's ghost where have those 18 years gone :(

    I had a listen to two of her tracks there out of curiosity, her music would put years on you, desperate stuff. When she is singing it sounds like the CD is skipping (we all remember that from the 90s). Give me Billy Idol anyday.

    She reminds me of a really bad Goth band.Shes dire.

    Gay Bryne's last Late Late show aired over 20 years ago.
    Pat Kenny's last one aired over 10 years ago.

    The rash of senseless threads opening lately and how borderline vulgarity is what now passes for humour has me questioning the generation gap and thinking I may be past such things.

    80's/90's music videos can actually kill you due to nostalgia overdose.

    be careful with anything by A-ha, Petshop boys, eurythmics.

    -There will soon be 18 year old adults who weren't alive when 9/11 happened. It feels about 5 years ago to me.

    -I work with people who never say 'pounds' when they mean euro, because they don't remember pounds. :(

    Looking at old footage of Charles and Di's Wedding in 1981 and realising I'm now older than Diana's mother was on that day. I was eight years old at the time.

    Realising that Rue McClanahan, the actress who played the youngest 'Golden Girl' in the 1980s series, was only four years older than I am now when it started to air back in 1985.

    And as I mentioned in a previous incarnation of this thread, the fact that we now have posters who were not even born when I created my account in August 2002...

    I am old enough to be alive before the Berlin wall fell in 1989, and later the dissolvement of the Soviet Union.
    No-one would have even considered communism to fall before that happened.
    But it happened!

    Old enough to be alive before the Berlin wall fell would make you 30, I hope that's not supposed to be impressively old.
