Well thats one good thing about us we can add without having to run for the calculator

Another thing.

10 years back seems like only a 'short time ago'.

Also. Is it really nearly 18 years ago since Diana died?

Kids born then are now driving in the same traffic as me!

When the Doctor used to be older than your dad and is now four years younger than your little sister. (Thank goodness for Peter Capaldi.

)

Well in my case, it was when the barber ask me if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed.

I'm dreading the first hair to peep out from my ear.

When getting up in the middle of the night for a piss is the rule rather than the exception!

When a strong gust of wind exposes your wonderful "hairstyle" as nothing more than a Bobby Charlton style combover.

13-06-2015 12:46AM

When you examine your laundry and decide that yes, the new detergent with stain boosters really does do a better job!

I work in a US tech company with a very young workforce, ...and find myself realising nowadays that a lot of my work colleagues could have been my child (if I started having kids in my teens)

When you go into the supermarket and turn the item you are buying upside down and inside out looking for the price sticker

fleet_admiral · 13-06-2015 12:51AM

Has putting a stick in the shed/garage to stir paint with been mentioned?

kfallon · 13-06-2015 12:52AM

When you have to make a list going to the shop for anything over 3 items!

13-06-2015 12:54AM

When you come home with six months supply of loo roll, because they were on special.

13-06-2015 12:55AM

I actually recognise and can sing along to, quite a number of tracks that Ronan Collins plays on his radio show at midday...

_Whimsical_ · 13-06-2015 12:56AM

When you find yourself appalled after a teenagers has just described her teacher's age as "30 or 40", and though you used to do that once yourself, you now think there's acres of difference between 30 vs 40 and can't imagine how anyone could lump that 10 years together.

Wereghost · 13-06-2015 12:56AM

When you realise that Fat Elvis didn't get to your age.

lulu1 · 13-06-2015 12:57AM

When you dont bother asking

Dose my bum look big in this?

kfallon · 13-06-2015 12:58AM

When you can bank on getting socks for Xmas so no need to buy new ones in November!!

Yeah getting a thrill out of housework and household products has genuinely become a thing for me.

Not needing much sleep is a positive one. Always wake early or earlyish, no matter how late I go to bed, and I'm grand. Can't do mad nights out anymore though - did so twice at Christmas and the suffering next day was just too horrendous, never again. And this time "never again" is genuine. "A drink or two" is definitely a "a drink or two" now.

My brother's stepson went to see The Stone Roses a few years ago when he was 16 and was going on about how he was the youngest by miles (true) and everyone else was "about 30".

Lol.
