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.

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!

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.

I saw a Capri 2.8 injection

I 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

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!

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

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.

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.

Emsz 😉 She's younger than my daughter!

Running through iTunes looking for music to play at my daughters wedding reception next year. (It got a bit dusty too)

Being asked for the card part of the driving licence when handing said paper licence across as ID.

Age is just a number - I don't worry about it. Apart from when I get out of bed and can barely walk, you wait til all your bits hurt, not just odd bits!

Throwing a video player away at the tip last weekend. Turned to wife and said "there's a tape still in this". Daughter pipes up with "daddy, what's a tape?". I cried a bit inside..

Last weekend, helping my teenage daughter (finally!) clear her room of old toys, story books, dressing-up clothes etc etc.

Oh that's bad 🙁

I've got a few years to go until that time comes but I think I'll be in pieces (a bit like the end of Toy Story 3)
