Was watching The Beatles Anthology last night. I remember when it came out thinking, wow, Paul looks pretty old in these interviews.

Last night I thought, wow, Paul looks so young in these interviews.

Basically Ireland was created in 1990 at the World Cup.

There is Ireland pre 1990 WC and Ireland post 1990 WC.

One thing that makes me feel old is that more years have passed since the Berlin Wall collapsed than it stood. 1961 to 1989 28 years, 1989 to 2019 30 years.

When the ''kids'' that used to call trick or treating when they were little are now bringing their kids to our house trick or treating. Seems like the blink of an eye. That and having good and bad legs instead of left and right ones.

Telling a recent admirer that I was old enough to be his mother, and then realising that because he's 23 and I'm 40, it's actually bloody true!

One of them said to me: I was three years old then.

My car is older than them so, and I bought the f*ckin' thing new.....

Watching old TV shows on Youtube that have the real ads included.
Back in the day I would have fast forwarded the VHS tape.
Now I am nostalgic for them!

The guy who sits to my left in work wasn’t even born when I graduated from my degree course. And he isn’t an intern this year.

You old?
Me, leaving school in 1978 it wasn’t at all a given you went third level. Civil Service, Banks etc were the way to go then straight from Leaving Cert. in fact you could get what was regarded as a plumb job in the ESB as a computer operator having completed Intermediate Certificate (Junior Cert+ to most of you) but the entry exam was really tough and beyond me

I knew people who got it, and had all sorts of opportunities to study further, work abroad etc. Your career could start out of school then, earning and all. However pay in those days was very modest, and standard of living very much so. But you could have the odd luxury and it was exciting when you did!

I got one for you. Was just in Tesco buying a slab of beer and went through the self check out. When a young woman in charge of that area came up asked if I needed her to lift it up and scan it for me. I was like damn girl, I'm not there yet!

Cushtie · 15-11-2019 10:10pm

9pm on a Friday night and only fit for the leaba after the week.

Was a time when Monday was worst day of week, wrecked tired and dead from the weekend. But you always got better as the week wore on and fighting fit again by Friday.

Now it's the opposite, Grand on the Monday but wrecked by Friday.

Rooney and Ronaldo are close to retirement. I remember there debuts like it was yesterday.

I bought a new vacuum cleaner and was excited about it.

I now need 9 hours of sleep to function properly in work.

I'm afraid of the two day hangover so gave up drinking

I can feel myself getting older and dying.

I died in 1996

Saw a post on FB earlier, one of the guys in my year in school got engaged. Also one of my friends got married last year. Guess it's heading towards that stage of life now!.

Carry · 16-11-2019 10:39pm

Got the news that I became a great-aunt a week ago (9th of November of all days). That's like being a granny!

I mean, it was just bearable to be a (great :cool:) auntie, but a great-aunt?

And the worst thing is that I feel the urge to show everyone a picture of the newborn, the usual crumply baby. In pre-great-aunt-times I used to roll my eyes when anybody wanted to show me a picture of a baby. They look all the same anyway.
(Though not my great-niece, obviously ...

)

Gosh, what became of me ....:o

Tell me how · 17-11-2019 1:07am

Was told to edit my CV to make it look like I'm not so old.
Suggestion was to cut early career experience so like that, 16 years experience became 8 and a trade qualification and degree were removed like they never happened.
Didn't think this would happen at 40.

Granted I am looking at a specific role to gain experience and so ordinarily it would be someone in their 20's applying for it.

FB friend suggestions.. 18 yo women in tee shirts posing for a camera. Why are they a suggested friend? Because I'm friends with their parents. Fock off Facebook

i saw Westlife was on The Late Late on Friday and the sang flying without wings.
When I was in Primary school they were about 19/20 and I remember saying to myself these guys are really old and grown up. I think some of them called for some charity thing.
Now that they are 39/40 I don't think they are that old.

fryup · 24-11-2019 11:33am

watching a TV programme from your youth that you thought was great but now as an adult you realise it was cr@p

for example yesterday i was watching TJ Hooker and my god the acting & script was so hammy it was almost laughable ...in fact the same could be said for most 80's TV shows

Modern high standards in TV production really shows them up

Realtine · 24-11-2019 12:17pm

My niece is about to become a Grandmother!! WTF
