    Last Thursday I became closer to retirement age than the day I started school.:(

    Not that I'm counting or anything.

    When you hear Bon Jovi are having trouble selling out venues and you remember the Point was packed back in '95 for their "These Days" tour.

    One of the girls in work that's ten years younger than me was telling me she was going to see them in Slane, and I just thought "I haven't heard a decent Bon Jovi song in about 20 years!", felt fairly old then alright! :(

    I'm 23, which most of you consider young, but I'm an MSc student, which means everyday in university I'm surrounded by precocious little undergrads. THAT makes me feel old, especially since I wasted my undergrad years doing a course I hated.... :(

    I know that plenty of older folk would love to be my age again but I can't help wishing I was 16 or 17 again; I feel like I didn't take advantage of my teenage years at all and then wasted the subsequent years doing something I didn't enjoy. :(

    The cars that I thought were super modern when I was a teenager are now old bangers.

    I feel old because It's 7.14am on a Saturday morning and I'm not up because I was out on the lash last night and am in the horrors.I'm up because I had to pump some breast milk before my boobs exploded. Times - they have changed!

    When it takes you two days to recover from a night out.

    When you bump into younger relatives that you used to babysit in the club/pub.

    Now let's start the therapy this morning early so you can get stuck right in...

    Now i gather you are a writer ? would this be correct ?

    If so, we all know that when you are writing a book or coding for long periods of time sitting down, we get out of posture and of which can seriously affect the lower back spinal column which makes it difficult to bend over (pun intended).

    We have a certain amount of folks here of which have the lazyness syndrome. Not to worry, all you have to do is take 30 minute breaks and stretch the spine with your fingers to the toes and not forgetting the left and right swivel exercises, 25 each side. Progress will follow.

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

    How is it any more "your oyster" than for a 33 year old or a 43 year old?

    No, is what makes you feel young. Is only when you absolutely can't that you begin to feel old

    Get less erections people......... for the right, reasons.

    Remember how we used to feel about those who talked about Woodstock? Well, smells like teen spirit is older now than Woodstock was then.

    Being up early at the weekend, sure sign of not being out the night before.....

    Wondering is it a good day to get clothes dry....

    Having "met" Bono before he became a world wide name when he was calling into his then girlfriend Ali's parents house.

    Realising my nephews know more about what's in the charts now than I do and looking at the top 100 songs of 1984 and remembering them fondly!

    Fast forward.....seeing The Coronas play their first gig in Cork in 2007 and loving them, but yay going to see them tonight!
