    There are teenagers that were barely toddlers when 9/11 happened. Almost nobody in 1st year of 2nd level edu was born after the attacks.

    I'm 23 btw. This gets worse doesn't it?

    (Ageing, not those escalating attacks from Al-Qaeda of course :p)

    Asking if a pharmacy had a disposable camera in stock from a counter assistance gets a denial and a irritated look. Tried , and couldn't for the life of me but one in a number of places I tried in a certain provincial town today.

    Not buying Empire or games magazine for years and then suddenly buying one, and wondering what happened?

    Always on internet, and no once a week internet cafe trips

    It only gets worse!
    Passed a movie poster for Springbreak last year with my Son on the day of his 9th birthday and he looks up at me and says ''Dad that James Franco is one lucky sod!'' so I ask ''Why?''
    And he looks at me and says....
    ''Have you seen the girls he is in that movie with! And he's been in a film with Mila Kunis too!!!!''

    Hearing my 9y.o boy lament James Franco starring in movies with his crushes....
    That made me feel a whole lot older than my 33years at the time! :(

    This reminds me...

    My friend actually wrote a legitimate letter of complaint to RTE when they removed BAYWATCH from the RTE2 saturday afternoon schedule in the 90's . He was 8.


    "Bring back the bewbs", P.S.
    Was how he ended it.

    My kids are going through a phase of Tom and Jerry cartoons at the moment.

    Sat with them today and noticed it was from 1969 - the year I was born. Ugh.

    Having to explain to a 21 year old that the metal instrument in the cutlery drawer is called a tin opener and before ring pulls became standard on tin cans, you couldn't open one without it!

    Couldn't believe she didn't know what it was!!

    Was switching my ISP recently and explaining to a young sales guy that my connection had become so slow it was like having a dial-up only without the modem noises. Then I realised he probably wasn't old enough to remember dial-up connections or the noise.
