What Makes You Feel Old?

fergiesfolly · 29-06-2013 01:34AM #1

Just sitting here watching the bbc's coverage of Glastonbury. There's a band on called The Horrors.There's a definite 80's look, feel and sound to them,which of itself, isn't a bad thing.
But all I could think was
"Stop time travelling through my ****ing youth, you pricks"
And that in a nutshell sums up my feelings on kids today revisiting 80"s culture.
I could spout some ****e about them needing to create their own culture, but I'm just sickened by how old it makes me feel.
So AH'ers. What makes you feel old and why?

The fact that Kenan & Kel ended 13 years ago.

I was thinking maybe the same could be asked of yours.

Thanks for the memory jog

I'm 23, young, vibrant, and the world is my oyster. Sorry old folks, some of us young revolutionaries are still around.

The fact 1990 was not 10 years ago.

So I was watching them as a young teen when they had already ended?

I remember things that most people haven't even experienced. . .

Sorry lad, but that was us. You're young, vibrant and paying off a massive national debt.
Thanks, by the way

No difference to you're twenties except maybe the body is a little less forgiving of abuse.

Can't handle the hangovers like I did a few years ago.

Oasis and Blur on the Golden Hour.

When you go into a room for something ...and when you get there..you forget what you went in for...

Thinking about 1993 the other day and realising (using my abacus) its 20 years ago when I was a teen. Ray Cokes, MTV most wanted, The shamen, MTV partyzone, Nirvana, the Hopefuls on the word on Ch4 etc. Long gone, never forgotten.

And Vids if anybody remembers that on Ch4. Classic.

What makes you feel old

Strangely enough, nothing makes me feel old and i'm "44"

I don't put numbers on my life's growth and i don't celebrate my birthdays because it's only a number. Mind over matter is the key.

Which one?

And the Crystal Maze, another class show from 20 years back. The bald chap who hosted it (Richard O Brien) is 71!

Witchie · 29-06-2013 02:17AM

I feel old sitting outside the pub waiting on my son to finish work.

But maybe that's also due to the fact that I was out til 2 this morning and then in College from 11 til 6 today and had to be polite to Joan Burton into the bargain.

Need sleep then will feel 20 again.

kraggy · 29-06-2013 02:18AM

2 of my favorite films are 20 years old this year. Naked and True Romance. Naked actually won the Palm D'Or at Cannes.

And Amélie is 12 years old.

All that, plus the fact that if I go out on the piss, not only am I useless the next day, but I'm useless 2 days later as well. Could be due to the fact that I can hold ridiculous amounts of alcohol now too though.

Actually that thing that opens the door is the key.

Yeah, the mind, as the mind has to think to get the key to open the door.

In my experience, its the people that don't celebrate birthdays,that fear them the most!

Sounds a bit contrary Fergie. Bedtime for you I think. You Don't own the eighties.

I don't agree, I celebrate every weekend with a party so when my birthday hits, it makes no difference as the party never stops, but celebrating a number is not that important imo.

This makes me feel young :eek:

Was watching Speed a few weeks back and realised it's 19 years old. I remember when Dave Fanning on The Movie Show did a review of it

policarp · 29-06-2013 03:07AM

Some people here mightn't believe this but when I was a youngster there was no piped water in the house and no electricity, outside toilet.
That's only 45 years ago..
