Things that make you feel old...

[NoNeed]

I don't know if others do it but I refer to things that happened last year or at most the year before only to realise after that it was actually 5+ years ago lol

[Gretchen]

Nothing in particular in all honesty. Except my eldest son. When he points out my boyfriend is only two years older than him

[ozzuk]

Discovering last week at 39, I'm actually older than Homer Simpson!

Still a year younger than the matrix which came out 16 years ago

It was on TV t'other night, it' still not possible it was made in the last century!

For me it's the realization (time and time again) that cars with the "new style" UK registration plates started appearing on our roads over 14 years ago..... I still think of them as new cars.

Chatting to a work colleague who didn’t know who Bungle, George and Zippy were.

So many things.
Looking in the mirror, particularly first thing in the morning.
Getting up after being seated for a while and making a groaning noise as I get up.
Having to get up for a piss most nights, and making that groaning noise as I get off the bed.
Struggling to get my legs out of the car (Cerbera) and groaning as I lever myself up out of the seat.
Speaking to work colleagues and realising that when I first worked overseas most were in primary school - some not even at school.
There will be more but I am feeling old just thinking about it.

Not sure if we've had this yet:

Dimebag Darrell was killed over ten years ago.
Watching early episodes of Buffy and the sudden re-emergence of Apple.

I've drunk beer with one of the last guys to play Bungle. His brother is the landlord in my local. Not only did I feel old, it was pretty surreal as well.

He was on The Voice recently too

I consider myself pretty au fait with old tech, but I never knew these were a thing! Who had one back in the day?

A good way to wreck a record.

My 12 & 13 year old sons know what that is, yet when my house phone rang last year (it's never used) they freaked out and questioned almost in a panicked state "What's that noise?!"

When I stated it was the 'landline' they looked confused and I had to explain that "In the olden days before mobile phones we had to plug phones into the wall..."


That was weird.

I was wearing my well worn Musto Offshore sailing jacket today due to the crap weather. I then realised it was older than the deckhand who was throwing the lines.

[cologne2792]

Ran a series of car insurance quotes today ranging from a 206 hdi to a V6 TT - four quotes in all - all came in around the £170 mark.
I am 46 and live in East Devon but it looks like the insurance companies think I'm past it !

Discussing gaming consoles with Master Blib, I mentioned the Commodore 64 v Sinclair Spectrum "wars".

"What are they?" He asked.

I hope you told him the ZX Spectrum is what put the "Great" into Great Britain and the Commodore 64 is something that was for people with body odour.

I showed my son (7) a video on You Tube of the original SNES Mario Kart. He laughed.

Nah. I told him the the Spectrum was for sad geeks and that it had a weird rubber keyboard and that the C64 was a proper machine from proper men.

Communist.

Having t-shirts older than some of the people at work.
Seeing a some grey hairs...... on my oldest son (mine would be white if it wasn't for Just for Men)
Changing the radio station because the latest music is just a repetitive noise.
Listening to my youngest (10) exclaim with delight "hey Dad this car has a cranker for the windows... how cool"
Finding that my bike leathers shrink loads over the winter months
