    Mr Crumble's aunt became a GREAT granny at 60. She's very into fashion and style and always looks well. She's 70 now and looks much younger. Nobody believes she's a great granny.

    Being totally at ease starting a day with nothing set to do; no commitments... free as the proverbial bird.... and loving it!

    Old age? Great time of life..

    You should worry! I was much much older than 5 when that happened! Not even a teenager even

    I don't suit gray hair. It's not that funky silver colour that lots of people can pull off- it's white and wiry and makes me look like the cat lady from the Simpsons.

    When you're watching a football match on tv with a couple of foreign clubs and the commentator says the name of a famous player from your youth......

    "Jaysus, is he still knocking around after all these years, he was a class act"

    Quick wikipedia of the club and the surname reveals the player is the 20 year old son of the guy you remember watching back in the day!

    I turned 50 at the start of the year. It seems like no length at all since I was 20. I am almost terrified at the prospect of the next 30 years going as fast as the last 30.

    I can deal with the younger kids growing up, that happens fast, within a couple of years a child is a teen and a teen is an adult

    What makes me feel old is seeing people you take for granted growing old, people retiring, watching your parents grow old and slowing down a bit.   Then acquaintances or family members dying, an aunt, a publican, a shopkeeper, a neighbour. People who were constants in your life - and sometimes it hits you that a whole generation of people you knew are gone, the next generation are starting to leave and you are gradually sliding in the same direction.

    My mother was one of 6. She's now the only one left. And she's now in a nursing home.

    My second cousin who was 4 the last time I saw her, now has a driving license.

    I think Movies is where I suddenly catch myself and think.

    Jurassic Park(1993) - 28 years old.

    The X-Files - also 28 years old.

    Batman Returns - 29 years old

    Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - 30 years old!

    I now feel like starting a thread "Sh1t that makes you feel young", honestly I do. Over past year I have seen folk decades younger than me crumple physically and mentally, maybe part of pandemic. Not always coping invariably admirably myself, I've been through a shitload of health issues over time, but I can say that last couple of decades has seen a general huge improvement in my well-being, the last year being a massive psychological blip for reasons largely beyond my control. Same as so many.

    Yeah, I remember, at the funeral of a granduncle, overhearing my grandfather (oldest of 8) talking to his one remaining brother (youngest of 8), saying "well there's only going to be two more of these days". Both of those days have come and gone and my own uncles/father are quickly approaching the same age they were then

    I know, I just noticed that a few nights ago. And yes it does make it worse... 😳

    i have given up trying to keep up with new music, i don,t know what garage or grime music is. most edm songs sound identical , nice music sung by unknown female singers .why does half the male population have the same fade haircut.i don,t understand the new memes on tik tok.the new consoles are hard to buy, i dont care about playing a game in 4k, hdr with ray tracing . Consoles now seem to be turning into pcs. the whole point of consoles is they could be played on any tv, easy to setup ,you should not need to be a tech expert to play console games ,eg this is a good game but you need to download a 30gig update to play it online .products seem designed to be absolete after 3 years.

    Jeez, my youngest lad is 16today......harping on about getting behind the wheel for a bit of 'foundation / basics' prior to getting his learners permit next year..............im looking at him blowing out candles on cake & all I see is this kid on my shoulders screaming his head off at a league of Ireland game when he was about 3/4......... Felt really old looking at him opening presents

    I saw an ad for a second hand TV on a local group I'm on. It got described as "Having ports for all the old consoles like the Wii".

    I definitely felt old when the Wii was described as an old console.
