You know you feel old when....

[Deleted User]

Some one in work tells you that they were born in 19xx and you remember that was the first year that you had the vote!
Plus the fact there is less than 10 years to retirement.

What makes you feel odd, apart from arthritis!!

When your husband has erection problems and wants to buy a mini.

Who were the Beatles??? I cringe when I hear that!

The fact that I graduated from college almost 20 years ago and new uni students wouldn't even have been born then.

It can be worse, My new manager wasn't even born when I started work!

Someone on here a while ago posting about remembering watching a DVD in secondary. We had an overhead projector!

When you have kids who were born in 2000 running rings around you in hurling training.

When I was their age an older fella would give ya a dig in the bollocks with the butt of the hurl if you were skinning him. No longer tolerated these days in our club sadly.

Someone (younger) said to me last year that their Dad had great music when he was in college. Stuff like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Their friend said "Who?".

Remembers driving a Cortina MkII, until someone ran into the back of it :mad: and it became a Ford Concertina II!

Remembering going to see films like ET / Raiders / Ghostbusters / Aliens and then realising they are now 35 years old... :eek:

When the football managers start looking younger than you. I'm talking about people like Eddie Howe and Pochettino even though they're both older than me.

Someone has to educate the younglings..

I thought i was getting old but after reading the replies to this thread I feel very young. I got a bit of a boost now after that.

One can only hope. It's weird to think the music I listened to in college is now in the same classification as the music my parents listened to. ie. old.

If you want to feel old look at property prices and remember what they were like the first time you paid attention to them. I had a landlord when I was in college in 95 who sold the house we were in. He'd bought it two years earlier for 30k and was selling it for 37k. I remember him saying "This can't last, I'm selling whilst the prices are still high".

I used to laugh at people who posted in threads like this.

I'm not laughing now (mainly because it causes bladder leakage)

When you are older than Justin Beibers mother.
And older that Stiflers mom was in the movie.

Courtney Cox is older than Blanch from the Golden Girls was when it first aired.

The first sign is when the guards look very young.
They were doing a routine stop on a Halloween night a couple of years ago.
When I pulled up and saw how young they looked, I was tempted to say " bit late to be out trick or treating lads" but thought I better not.

When I see films made the year I was born it looks like another world. And in many ways it was. The Beatles were still a band, Elvis was still skinny and man hadn't made it to the moon but was on the way. Growing up in the 70's the "future" also felt more futuristic for some reason. Post modernist thinking hadn't crept in yet.

Littlehorny

When i mentioned in work that Bros were having a comeback tour and the younger people had to look them up because they hadn't a clue who they were.
They then had great crack looking up people like Adam Ant and other pop stars from the 80's saying things like "me mother goes on about them".

Mister Vain

When people ask me if I'm married or have any kids instead of asking me if I have a mot.

lazybones32

I don't feel old or see myself as old. I can't listen to the younger wans in the pub though....talking ****e. I wonder was I as annoying then? Probably was and probably still am.

The Beatles only became the Beatles during the year in which I was born (I even pre-date Coronation Street:o)
