Ask a child ( not any random child on the street ) they will tell you, I remember when I was 22 a kid who was dossing on the street shouted at me " here auld lad what time is it"

You cease being young when you have children. So by my reckoning, the Pope is one hip gunslinging dude.:cool:

Willies, in my case:D

Not true! I have 3 kids...

I reckon you're no longer young when you become independent. For most people, that's when they leave education, get their own home, and start working. But I'm not sure that being 40 and living with Mammy makes you young...

Then you become middle-aged when you have kids and a mortgage.

Not sure about old, I'm not there yet. Probably when you start giving out about young people.

You know you are old when you start saying things to your kids/nieces/nephews that your parents said to you when you were younger!

"Get down off that wall or you'll kill yourself!"
"If that dinner isn't eaten there will be no shop for you later!"
"Anymore fighting and I'll turn this car around"

etc etc

was buying beer in tesco the other day,woman at the counter looks at me,and says any ID on you

i replied dont i look 25

,anyway i showed my ID and she goes you must have lots of trouble on nights out and in pubs,
as you barely look 18.Anyway i laughed it off i do look young and wish i was,as shaving every morning is pain in the a$$,doesn't even need half day for hair to start popping out.

Anyone · 20-09-2012 02:01PM

Cant remember what age I was, maybe 22 or 23....anyway, some young lad, maybe 7 or 8, asked me something but started it with "Hey mister...." I just thought....fúck you, ya little bollix......anyway....it was that day for me.

FatherLen · 20-09-2012 02:04PM

as soon as you are at a party and you ask for the music to be turned down.

OldNotWIse · 20-09-2012 02:06PM

5 years older than you currently are...at any point in time

Professor Monkey foraHead · 20-09-2012 02:06PM

As soon as you start referring to your girlfriend as your wife.

I reckon it's about 28-30. I'm talking chronologically, not your as young as feel nonsense.

By 30 you have lived over one third of your life, so I don't believe you are young anymore.

Just turned 29

This happened me in Lidl buying a cheap bottle of plonk (asking for it I suppose lol) and the cashier started looking at me through narrowed eyes and demanded ID. gave her my driver's license and said, "See? I'm 11 years older than the limit". Laughed it off though, and was chuffed tbh

I guess I would therefore define "old" as the day you start being happy that someone has actually asked for ID....

Napper Hawkins · 20-09-2012 02:20PM

I'm 29 but I'm still asked for id if I'm clean shaven.
I'm aging well thank ****.
But I have more than a few mates the same age who act like they're in their fifties.

When you start making that "Uggghh!" sound when you bend over and pick something up.

Anyone that says differently is just wishful thinking.

And anyone who thinks that is just a clueless 19-year-old kid.

What's this thing about people acting as if they're about 80 when they're young? Talk about sucking the enjoyment out of life. I'd rather be 40 and having a laugh than one of those 22-year-olds who think life's over because they're not 18 anymore.

I've just turned 32 and I'd consider anything up to late thirties as young! Maybe that's just wishful thinking though!

I would conside maybe 41 or 42

Its just that by then there are a lot of things you dont feel like doing anymore and you dont have to prove anything to anyone

BUT the it is all relative - personally to me 41/42

Giselle · 20-09-2012 02:46PM

If you make constant Father Ted references and quotes and still expect people to laugh, you're old but don't realise it.

If you're over 40 and wearing leopard print shoes, same goes for you.

If you're under 40 and look forward to Dancing With The Stars, you were never young.

If you give a little groan getting out of an armchair, the decline is well underway whether you're 15 or 45.

The Spanish leave home in their mid 30s and interestingly, that's when they consider youth to end - around 35. Sweeet. Love living here.

Stop the lights!! I don't think I ever thought that way and I don't think I ever will. Never had any kind of crisis over a birthday ffs. This "Ooooh gaaawd the big three oh!!!

"...would you shut the fook up for the love of god. People genuinely having some kind of crisis over turning 30....or even worse - 25! :rolleyes: Please stop. You're making a tit of yourself.

That sounds so liberating.
It must be the number one perk of ageing.

The Master of Disaster · 20-09-2012 03:37PM

It's easy, just take a standard one hundred years and;

0 - 40: Young
40 - 60: Middle Aged (Literally)
60 - 100: Old
100 + : A demon of the ancient world!

It’s 29. You peak at 27 and get 2 years grace, but once you turn 30 that’s it. You are no longer young. It’s not about how you feel inside, I’m 35 and I feel the exact same as I did when I was 15. Physically though it takes me a lot longer to recover from anything. Anything. Going out for beer now takes 2 to 5 days to recover from, When I was 18 the worst was over by 11am. If I go for a run I’ll feel it the next day. I can only imagine it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. So, once again. The Sun really does set at 29.

talla10 · 20-09-2012 04:19PM

I always thought you were old when you had a mortgage.

Then I got a mortgage. So old became when you get married.

Then I got married. So old is now when you have kids!!

I'm only 27 so telling myself Im very young to be settled!

You will be glad in 10 years time when you still look young for your age.

Galwayguy35 · 20-09-2012 04:31PM

I'm nearly 38 but I feel in better shape than I was in my early 20's as I'm not skullin pints every weekend and waking up like death warmed over.

I also excerise as well which I never did in my 20's.

Only down side is I'm going a bit light on top:(

At what age do you cease being young?
