    when you realise describing the 80's to your kids is the same as your parents telling you about the 1950's when growing up

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    When a housemate informs you that you're older than his old man. He was joking, but still.

    I had to explain to someone I worked with who OJ Simpson was.

    I can also predict the weather quite well when I feel different pains in my body.

    When TV series of your youth like "Space 1999" seemed so incredible and the year 1999 such a futuristic and exotic time concept.

    I met a girl down in the pub a few weeks ago, couldn't remember her name. Knew her father's name though.

    Oh, you're Ger's daughter.

    She's only about 6 years younger than me.

    you realise you need to make a will????

    When I bought my house at the age of 24, when everything was signed and sealed, the solicitor asked "So...would you like to make a will now?".

    I got a bit terrified at the thought of it, so just said "No thanks. Not at the moment." In 2 months, my 20 year mortgage will be paid off. And I still haven't made a will!


    I feel old when I remember that I got my first 2 e-mail addresses 26 years ago!

    When you're closer to 60 than 30.

    When you remember the Falklands War and realise it's nearly the same time from now 'til then and from then until nearly the second world war. Only a couple of years now and it will be the same.

    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 remember going along with a relative around the same time to look at a house for about 40k. I was on less than 4k a year thinking, how that was a phenomenal figure.

    Once you can keep the nausea at bay from drinking the stuff, you're fine, try to down it too quickly to get it over and done with could be a mistake, I tried some dilute able in mine

    Christ, Im not quite that side of the age thing, but I remember thinking how Gulf War 1 was a quarter of a century ago, but really while the differences have been huge since then, things have not changed as much in that time as they had in the 25 years preceding 1991.
    I remember seeing news updates of the war on teletext late at night (after tv went off), now thats a blast from the past
