Signs that you're getting old

Fleetwood Mac come on the radio...and you do not rush to change the channel.

On a similar note, a song comes on a channel playing classics and you think to yourself "sure that's only a few years old". Then you look it up and realise it's actually 20 years old!

The movies you grew up with are being remade (This does not apply to Spiderman which is remade every 2 years or so)

When there are remakes of the remakes it gets scary

Young wan next door called told me she was having a 21st in the house. Would you like to come? Do you mind if there is some noise?

I found a few of my video tapes (recorded from the TV) in the house that I hadn't transferred to mpegs so am doing that now

Even having a working VCR these days probably marks me as a weirdo and middle aged git.

Also, looking at the stuff on the tapes from around 1995 and thinking how the mid nineties are a long time ago. 1995 is now as long ago as 1969 was from 1995. The fvcking 1960s.

Have given up on getting glances from ladies:(. Used to be a nice little confidence boost back in the day. Used to love Paris, jaysus the women there would oogle you.

Hahaha gave up on that quite some time ago!

You have a box full of lp,s, vinyl, audio cassettes , vhs tapes, even though you do not have a vcr, or a audio cassette player.
you have a box full of all phones, and 10 power supplys from the time when every single phone had a slightly different charger, with random connectors which are slightly different.and random old tv remotes .
if you are a pc gamer you have a few games which came in giant box,s
like 4 disk cdrom games which are worth nothing and just take up space.

BBC4 have a night of neil diamond scheduled and you think to yourself "that is my night sorted"

If i had 100 dvds i,d watch the best ones and just give em to a charity shop.
i,d rip the cds to a laptop and upload the mp3,s to an online drive.
Cds suffer from cdrot, in 10 years time they will be unplayable .
i prefer mp3 files to spotify, you own them, you can put them on a phone
or a tablet and play them anywhere .without having a connection to the internet.
films are only on netflix for a limited time .

Falling asleep in afternoon

Prior to the health shîtstorm I got rid of a good few dvds. They take up a bit of space,....CDs I’m keeping, just so many that I can’t face going through deciding what to keep and what not to...

Just counted 13 and a half shelves full of CDs... from memory I’ve got two more boxes in storage.

At last inventory I own about 900 Cd’s and records..About 70 dvds including boxsets..... all that time wasted in shops, all that money spent... then some pair of smart genius cuntybollocks invents Spotify and Netflix within a couple of years... so for about 30 quid a month, I can listen to whatever song, album or watch practically any film committed to celluloid....

I was never able to find a decent way to get rid of CDs or DVDs. You can recycle the cases and the paper inserts, but the yokes themselves have to go in the bin, which isn't very friendly at all.

Has anyone found a better way?

When you fall over and instead of laughing everyone comes over to see if you’re hurt.

Or noticing the video upload date was 15 years ago!

Hard to believe, remember it was such a novelty and we would all take turns and pick a couple of songs on it to play at a party.

The lad into death metal was banned from picking after a couple of outings though.
