    We had some transition years in the office during the week for a bit of work experience. I had to give a run through of my career to date and told them I graduated college in 05.
    One of them said to me: I was three years old then.
    Fecking hell....

    My car is older than them so, and I bought the f*ckin' thing new.....

    Watching old TV shows on Youtube that have the real ads included.
    Back in the day I would have fast forwarded the VHS tape.
    Now I am nostalgic for them!

    that is called Threshold Syndrome and there is actual science behind the reason why that happens.

    Just realised on Monday it will be 10 years since the Thierry Henry handball fiasco, surely it can't have been that long ago.

    The guy who sits to my left in work wasn’t even born when I graduated from my degree course. And he isn’t an intern this year.

    You old?
    Me, leaving school in 1978 it wasn’t at all a given you went third level. Civil Service, Banks etc were the way to go then straight from Leaving Cert. in fact you could get what was regarded as a plumb job in the ESB as a computer operator having completed Intermediate Certificate (Junior Cert+ to most of you) but the entry exam was really tough and beyond me :( I knew people who got it, and had all sorts of opportunities to study further, work abroad etc. Your career could start out of school then, earning and all. However pay in those days was very modest, and standard of living very much so. But you could have the odd luxury and it was exciting when you did!

    I got one for you. Was just in Tesco buying a slab of beer and went through the self check out. When a young woman in charge of that area came up asked if I needed her to lift it up and scan it for me. I was like damn girl, I'm not there yet!

    9pm on a Friday night and only fit for the leaba after the week.

    Was a time when Monday was worst day of week, wrecked tired and dead from the weekend. But you always got better as the week wore on and fighting fit again by Friday.

    Now it's the opposite, Grand on the Monday but wrecked by Friday.

    Rooney and Ronaldo are close to retirement. I remember there debuts like it was yesterday.

    I bought a new vacuum cleaner and was excited about it.

    I now need 9 hours of sleep to function properly in work.

    I'm afraid of the two day hangover so gave up drinking

    I can feel myself getting older and dying.

    I died in 1996
