MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I saw a Capri 2.8 injection on my way into work this morning and got to thinking about the Capri I had as my first car. Then I remembered that it's 26 YEARS since the Capri went out of production. Crivens I suddenly felt old.
The fact that my arms are no longer long enough for reading small print on stuff
My back. 🙁
That I know next to nothing about any music that has been released in the last 6 years (and have no interest in finding out).
That it is possible for someone born in 1994 to legally purchase alcohol.
I have to make some sort of noise when I stand up...
Acheing. Somehwere always hurts.
My daughter starts big school after the school holidays.
As above the aching. Some part is always stiff and needs loosening up in a morning (behave, I don't mean that).
Went paintballing on Saturday My thighs are still aching today 🙁
Films make me feel old. I saw a clip for 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' the other day. I vividly remember adoring it as a 7 year old and then It dawned on me just how long ago that film was released and subsequently how I'm getting old(er).
Peter Sagan
Cycling past Newcastle University during Freshers Week.
When someone on here said whoever the rider is enough respect (it was Martin Ashton!!!)
Also going to uni with 18-21 year olds all day makes you feel kinda past it.
Wouldn't really say I feel old. Memories of past times and experiences are what make us who we are today.
The folk saying they are too old to ride infront of kids in the bmx thread sadden me. It's not their age stopping them it's their lack of confidence and overly high levels of self conciousness which should in actual fact be less of a problem with age and life experience IMO
The fact that me listening to The Clash is to my children what my mum listening to Bill Hailey was to me.
"I have to make some sort of noise when I stand up..."
Truely the definition of getting old ... lol
turning 40.
Today.
Balls...
I've noticed that age is beginning to make me feel old... 😐
Welcome to the world of "planning ahead" and "pacing yourself"!
I saw a Capri 2.8 injection
I dreamt of owning a 'Professionals' style 3.0S - that makes me older. 😥
doing a running race (length of football pitch) with scouts, came 8th out of 12. 12 year old daughter beat me by about 20m - and I do do a bit of running
I am 47 3/4 though
The advert for the re-release of Paul Simon - Graceland after 25 yrs...
Remembering that I graduated over a decade ago...
A colleague at my last place telling us he'd never owned a cassette walkman...
Last weekend, helping my teenage daughter (finally!) clear her room of old toys, story books, dressing-up clothes etc etc.
It can get quite dusty by those recycling bins...
[i]A colleague at my last place telling us he'd never owned a cassette walkman[/i]
My 10 year old doesn't even know what a cassette is.
My 15 year old, when he first found my record collection was dead impressed that there was music on both sides but less impressed that it was 20 minutes tops per side.
Bruises. Never used to get them at all, now they last for WEEKS!
im not "that" old but when the young lady behind the bar rejected my photocard driving licence as a fake because it didnt look much like hers(no holograms etc) i realised id been driving for 10 years i felt a bit old then.
When you're filling in some sort of on-line form and your date of birth is required, and you have to scroll right down the drop down box to find the year you were born.

That's something worth getting checked out. Bruising that takies ages to go can be signs of other problems like diabetes, anaemia etc.
[i] diabetes, anaemia etc.[/i]
Pretty positive it's age and not those! (Thanks for the concern though 😉 )
[i] i realised id been driving for 10 years[/i]
Not since the early 80s then?!

I owned a 3000E Capri when they were still making them 🙁
Was a right pimpmobile in Met Blue & white vinyl roof 😀
Helping the 16 year old lad next door fix his bike then hearing him tell his mates as he walked off 'he's quite cool (me) for someone twice as old as us, he's got loads of ancient computer games megadrives and stuff were games are on cartridges and cassettes"
Ro5ey,
The trouble is, I bet I'm one of the younger contributors to this thread.
I'm 27 😕

I broke up a fight between two school kids on the way into work this morning. that made me feel very old. I'm 30... 🙁
Taking my daughter to a roller disco for the first time, thinking its been 26 years since I last went to one 😉
Teaching kids to drive who's date of birth is 1995!!
My son graduating.

The fact that me listening to The Clash is to my children what my mum listening to Bill Hailey was to me.
That really puts it in perspective for me....
and Ive just worked out the years gap is actually greater from now to the clash, than clash to bill hailey

Nice! I just emailed this to my Clash-loving colleagues (whilst trying not to think of when Appetite For Destruction came out)
Meeting people now in the RN who weren't born when I joined up.

*weeps gently for his lost youth*
Something that makes me feel old and grumpy is seeing this kind of shit in front of me at every bloody gig

WATCH THE BAND YOU STUPID FEKKERS!
Two things have hit home hard this year:-
1) During recruitment, I'm seeing CVs from graduates who were born the same year I left school
2) I'm closer to 50 than 20
Phones at gigs wind me up too. Why watch a concert on TV when you can pay forty quid to watch it on a 3" screen instead?
Ya miserable gits. I still feel as young as I ever did, nothing makes me feel old. Though I do put earplugs in at gigs/in clubs now 🙂
Looking at pretty young ladies and thinking 'she's hot' in an appreciative/respectful/good for her way instead of thinkin 'she's hot, I must have her'. Although that might be because I used to be a manic depressive sex maniac and now I'm medicating.

Looking at pretty young ladies and thinking 'she'll be hot in a few years'.
she'll be hot in a few years
Giggity 🙂

meeting teenage girls in the pub and feeling fatherly responsibilty towards them rather than flirting.
I realised i was old when i started indicating in car parks and start thinking about buying cars in terms of mpg and reliability.
Plus thinking i'm down with the kids as i still listen to drum'n'bass at 37, but realising that the track i'm listening to was bought on vinyl and is actually 19 years old!
One of bin bins mates was saying he was leaving his job the other day, he'd been doing it from before I was born.
soz, that's not helping is it? 😆
young people and the way they talk, if you sound like you're from the only way is essex then i'm going to assume you've received a nasty head injury and offer you the disabled seat.
Venturing in to town on a Friday and realising I'm twice the age of a lot of folk in the pub!
Cool, I don't sound like I'm from essex if that helps. 8)
awww i'm well jel. i'm so full of swag i'm reem.
bare jokes u get me
amazeballs
yr swag is cheez
What? What what what what? (Bluddy kids. Innit.). 😉
Thinking that it was 20 years from the end of WW2 to my birth; but 30 years from the Falklands War to now!
I saw a Capri 2.8 injectionI dreamt of owning a 'Professionals' style 3.0S - that makes me older.
I used to work in a main dealers when they were new ❗ 😆
Never as good as the old P6 Rover V8 💡 or the Triumph 2.5pi
why thank you young lady

I have been teaching Sailing for a very long time now and at my Club we have loads of kids/teenagers etc..
Last year one of the first group I taught got married.
This year they're expecting a Kiddo.
For the very first time in my life I actually stood back and went "blinkin ek, I think I'm old now"
Listening to Radio 1 make me feel very old, as I have no idea how their playlist passes for music these days. Absolute dirge, and I'm 34 years old with no idea what the kids listen to nowadays!
Filling in an MTB Marathon event registration form and, when asked which category you'll be competing in, having to tick "Veteran, Male".

Recently doing a 100 mile sportive and being a few minutes outside of the silver medal time, then realising that next year the same time will get me a silver medal as i will be ** years. As a clue i saw The Clash for the first time at 15.
Heres another one..
Wearing anything FatFace..
(not that I do, but I know mates that do)
That ages a man in an instant.
Becoming a Great Uncle for the 2nd time, and this -
turning 40.
Today.
Balls...
Bloody kids...... 😉
Talking to a friend who's just about to go off to university, and realising that I went to uni two years before she was born.
I used to own a 2.8i Capri...I also remember when you had to have a cassette player to make your computer work..
But I felt old when I realised I'd rather poke a knitting needle in my eyes than go to a nightclub..And when I bought a lawnmower...
M'old... 😥
You know your old when the new DJs they add to the Radio 2 line up originated from Radio 1 but you've never heard of them
What makes me feel old is some of the people i went to school with are Grans, I am only just 38!!!!
When I fill out my date of birth electronically and you have to
scroll down to find your Date of birth. 😐
Other than that Frigging Handsome 😉
When a practical used car buy was a Lanchester. One previous owner, Mrs Lyle of Tate & Lyle. I'm the wannabe chicken,

I feel old when I talk about my first car with much younger work colleagues. Austin Metro with a manual choke!
I don't feel old about music though. My music taste is the best in the world, and I can't wait until my kids grow up to realise this.
Working with people who were born in the 90s.
Realising with horror that I'm older than my boss...
Knowing that my baby sister is now married and has a baby of her own :/
I was answering an ebay item question the other night, when I looked up my feedback rating, and discovered i've been on ebay for 13 years. That freaked me out more than all the usual stuff.
I've been on here 12 (maybe not if you take away the free holidays 😉 )
I'm in a band, our lead singer is 32 this year. He was 2 years old when I first went into a recording studio. oh, and I've been playing drums since before he was born.
