TeddyTedson · 10-01-2012 03:14AM

What are you getting at?

EdenHazard · 10-01-2012 03:16AM

8 years bit random but i was like 12 and damn they were some good fun times which im really only getting over now(i kinda stayed the same person) but now i like where i am now, and anything is possible you just gotta believe and never say never

Kojak · 10-01-2012 03:18AM

I'm 8 years older.....

SomeFool · 10-01-2012 03:22AM

I have a few more grey hairs, probably still a bit of a fool though.

Noreen1 · 10-01-2012 03:23AM

I'm eight years older, hopefully wiser - and definitely poorer.......

Otherwise, I'm pretty much the same person.:p

Irish Steve · 10-01-2012 03:24AM

Clothes? Lots of times,

Attitudes? Some, that's life

Appearance? Yes, unfortunately

Partner? No, and no way I want to, and we've been together a long time now.

Car? Yes, they don't last like they used to

Political opinions? Too darn right, hopefully we all have

Computers? No choice, built in obsolecence that starts before you collect it from the showroom. They get to be obsolete 4 times faster than the previous model.

Phones? Yes, it's cheaper than buying a new battery

House? No, and the way things are now, not going to any time soon.

I went through a bit of depression around 8 years ago, kinda came out of it 7 years ago, but not fully, havn't seen much improvement in the last 7 years...

AlmightyCushion · 10-01-2012 05:40AM

Nope, I should get another year or two out of these boxers.

Lanaier · 10-01-2012 06:31AM

Yes, last time I lived in Ireland was just over 8 years ago.

sorry we're just interested in the last 8:(

Snowie · 10-01-2012 06:52AM

yeah a lot :cool:

theteal · 10-01-2012 06:53AM

Ha ha, I had the thickest paddy fro in the land 8 years ago. If someone said it would be like it is now, I would have laughed at the absurdity of it

GLaDOS · 10-01-2012 07:26AM

Well 8 years ago I was 13, so yes, quite substantially

Azureus · 10-01-2012 07:37AM

8 years ago I was an angsty teenager with a very open mind...now I've lightened up and formed some more informed opinions on various things. Gotten much more confident, grown up and happy in myself and hopefully it keeps going that way over the next 8

Aoifey! · 10-01-2012 07:37AM

Since I was 11 I'd say I've changed a fair bit alright.

Eight years ago I was in my mid 30's and having an absolute ball, best years of my life in fact.

Then one of two personal crisis put me through the grinder and I started to drink, and its developed into a habit I'm finding hard to break.

I've found once I got into my 40's people tried their best to knock me, reminding me that I'm getting older, telling me I shouldn't train so hard or fight/compete in Judo - so I dig in deeper, and I prove them wrong.

I'm still taken in by pricks & selfish bastards, and sometimes drop my guard - so I haven't learned so much there!.. But I deal with it better now and rarely make the same stupid mistakes a second time.

Finally, I have more grey than red hair now. My waist line has expanded, but thats just from gargling as I train pretty good and I'm strong as an ox.

Oh, I drive much slower now and don't feel the urge to wheelie my bike off from every traffic light.. And I enjoy a stroll.

Napper Hawkins · 10-01-2012 12:51PM

Eight years ago I was 20.

Hair's thinner, more comfortable in my own skin, far better musician now than I was, learned to stop caring about the opinions of others, travelled, acheived a couple of things I set out to do years ago and quite pleased at that. Have started to notice myself become a tad more conservative maybe and less tolerant of twats as I get older. Have severed ties with certain individuals as a result which has only made my life that bit easier.

All in all, feelin pretty good, could be way worse.:)

niamhx · 10-01-2012 12:53PM

God yes ! I spent my twenty's being fat, miserable, shy and in a job I hated. My relationship with my partner was pretty **** too tbh. I'd no social life, friends were limited. It's no wonder I was miserable !

Roll on 8 yrs, I'm 33, slim, happy, confident, my relationship is great (same guy) I'm in the same job, different company. Loads of new friends ( not so new now). Only bad thing is,I don't want my 30s to end.

Jumpy · 10-01-2012 12:57PM

Everyone changes. Way more than you think.

Heres something appropriate to the thread.

No offense to Bob, but you cant find a decent version of this with his name on it. So I had to use the Watchmen intro.

Man dont worry about that ****. It just means you are growing a soul.

Dravokivich · 10-01-2012 01:04PM

Hmmm, I'd be inclined to say I haven't really done much of anything in the last 8 years thats changed me. Changes are generally something other people would notice more so. Appearently I've come "Out of my shell..." so to speak, but I still consider myself to still be fairly reserved and to some degree rather reclusive.

charlietheminxx · 10-01-2012 01:06PM

Yes, definitely! I was an angsty little 16 year old rebel virgin, waiting to get my braces taken off this month! I had no confidence and a very narrow world view....

cena · 10-01-2012 01:17PM

I would say so.I don't go out like I use to.

what a day · 10-01-2012 01:42PM

Yeah i dont like going out like i used to and when i do i have two pints and im tired and want to go home to chill out.
Starting to grow out ways now instead of upwards

Have you changed in 8 years?
