My sons found a picture dated 1989 of me in an FCA uniform armed with ancient machine gun .

The two bastards wanted to know if I fought in the second world war and then pissed themselves laughing after I explained what the FCA was.

Grumbles "Should bring in conscription for young 'uns nowadays".

Round our way they were known as the Fat Cat's Association. This was pre Celtic Tiger though.

As a kid the latest big thing was Colour Television.

Watched a film about The Beatles with various family members recently. I made them watch it, because I am a Beatles lover). Bits of black and white footage and that.

Nephew asked me what age I was when they were really big.

When Netflix started to show Friends and there were loads of tweets from people who were just discovering it.
God that made me feel ancient.

Also having a meeting with the school about my child entering JI in Sept and hearing things about book lists and uniforms.That actually aged me.That's the s%&t my parents are supposed to do, not me!!!

For me it definitely the two day hangover even after only a few beers and checking the death notices and unfortunately starting to see familiar names ... I’m only in my mid 40,s.

whisky_galore · 23-06-2019 7:45am

Being shocked that a 'child' was allowed to hold a licence and drive heavy machinery when a silage tractor and trailer shot around the bend and braked hard to just stop short of me.

Thought the driver looked like a 12 year old.

When one of the first calculators you owned is an exhibit in a computer museum.

When you're 10 year old daughter turns to you and asks "Daddy, when you were my age, was YouTube in black and white?"

Rock Lesnar · 23-06-2019 7:53am

Yesterday i was trying to get our 11 year old off his ps4, and he says its not fair, just because you had no xbix or ps4 when you were my age.

I say we had better, we had the nes and the megadrive

Or know the frustrations of trying to record a song on radio and DJ talking over intro or ending of it.

Flew to the US for work a few weeks back and the girl beside me was heading on her J1. Realized I flew out for mine around the same time 20 years ago

didn't help that she didn't think they existed back then or asked how did you book and research it without the internet, I tried to explain we did have the internet but it then realized was like me hearing stories of the grandparents getting the electric in!!

When a 26 year old person asks you to explain how Northern Ireland works -

'They don't use our money up there, do they? .... why is it not part of the republic? .... What makes certain areas unsafe?....What was the I.R.A.?' !!!!!'

Seriously! what are they teaching in schools these days?.... and the dept of Ed is looking to remove history as a compulsory subject in senior cycle????

We will end up with a generation of 'experts' on the history of nothing but youtube influencers and 'reality' television programmes :rolleyes:

(The above rant is another aspect that makes me feel old.... I tend to get grumpier with each birthday that passes).

greenttc · 23-06-2019 10:56am

Clearly remembering living through events that you watch on reeling in the years

Sh!t that makes you feel old.
