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

When I was in primary, we had one part of the classroom wall painted black and the teacher used to write on it with these thin tubes of white, crumbly stuff called "chalk".

In secondary, photocopying was new and expensive, so exams were sometimes handwritten on special paper, then copied using a Gestetner machine which had really low resolution and, for some reason, ink in a really vibrant purple color. Last time I remember it being used was in fifth year when our temporary maths teacher showed up one morning in a foul mood, slung the gestetnered test papers on his desk and hung up his jacket to reveal that the gestetner machine had some undone half way through printing and accidentally printed the test, in purple, on the front of the teacher's white shirt.

Grey pubes.

Along with grey eyebrows and grey hair sprouting out of your ears and nose.

Just the other day I walked into the local Centra (about four or five beers deep) to buy some kitchen rolls.

At the checkout, I decided it would be a great idea to pull my hoody over my head a la Cornholio, face the other people in the queue & say "I need TP for my bunghole!"

The reaction was just dead silence. It seemed like nobody got the reference. I bolted out of the place faster than Ted & Dougal walking off-stage after the "Plan-B" version of "My Lovely Horse" in the Eurovision episode...

You buy some viagra to stop yourself pissing on your slippers.

When you hear the Zombie Nation tune you recall an old computer game.

When someone asks you how you are your stock reply instead of “ahhh grand, yourself ?” is “ ahhh I don’t be well “

When you wake up in the morning with unexplained aches and pains in random parts of your body which last throughout the day. Yesterday's random pain was in the arch of my right foot. Today's pain is in my right wrist.

I notice also that my short term memory has gone to pot. After my shower yesterday eve I left my electric toothbrush on the bathroom windowsill with the intention to charge it. When I visited the bathroom before bed it was still there on the windowsill, dead as a doornail.

When you start going over to the window to get better light when you are reading something, or you start thinking the numbers on your bank card are very small.

When you remember when this thread started.

I remember going to Heavy Metal and Rock gigs with my mates when I was younger and always trying to get as close to the stage as possible so we'd have a good view. Nowadays we can't be bothered with all that and tend to stay in the back mostly because it's easier to get out when the gig ends. If we're at a Metallica gig we usually leave before the encore because we know it's going to be Enter Sandman. I don't know, that just makes me feel old.

When the fear of premature ejaculation is replaced by the fear of erectile dysfunction.
