    When a young lad got up and offered me his seat on the bus a few years ago.
    He was lucky he didn’t get a thick ear.

  • Fidget Spinners. wtf? Still on sale at my local shopping centre celebrating it's 50th anniversary this year.

    Now, in my day the day Coca Cola and Fanta yoyos ruled. There was even a super version, see.

    Keeping things that will come in handy sometime.

    Having no idea who any of the bands or artists are in the charts.

    The taoiseach being three years younger than me. I shouldn't be older than politicians.

    Having nephews in their thirties that are going bald.

    Woke up on Sunday and was enjoying laying in bed, then remembered a geranium that had been looking like it might flower and that I'd repotted something else and got all excited and jumped out of bed to go and look at them.

    Getting excited about new socks.

    Getting excited about having new cleaning products to use and how they might compare to the ones I've previously used.

    Setting my alarm and seeing that I have more than 8.5 hours in which to sleep and my brain reacting like I've won the lotto.

    Life's still very exciting, it just would have seemed boring to 18 year old me!

    When my 17 year old nieces genuinely didn't know what a phonebox was. They are smart girls but I had to explain to them that there was a time when when I would tell my girlfriend that I would phone her at 8pm on Friday evening and I'd make my way to the end of the street to the nearest phonebox at 7.50. They were intrigued lol.

    I reckon I have clothes older than some of the kids in work.

    Shopping around for insurance prices, being responsible about getting car services done on time, buying household essentials in bulk, being in bed at a reasonable time on weeknights, spending weeks deliberating on the style of dinner service to buy, keeping spare bulbs in a special basket on the shelf, never forgetting to fill the car up on a Sunday for the week, checking my partner has taken his multivitamin because he usually forgets.

    Being sensible makes me feel old.

    Explaining to people you work with that when you started working a fax machine was a new invention....that you actually had a operate a telex machine.
