I actually said to my niece " I remember when this was all fields"

Giving directions and using landmarks that have not been there for 15 years

Similar thing here,I actually said to my other half as she lay in the bath last week, " I remember when that wasn't barren"

I am getting used to the spare room now.

Jurassic Park was released in cinemas 21 years ago.

My moment was waking up to all the snow a few years back and thinking 'st, I've got to work in this.' Any younger and I'd have loved it.

My barber's also asking if I'd like my eyebrows trimmed, I'm not that old!

[AdeTuono]

Watching Never Mind the Buzzcocks, seeing the identity parade and old musical heroes (and zeroes) now appear to be ready for the grave.

That, and not knowing who most of the guests are...

[inman999]

And the point at which nose hair requires attention on an alarmingly regular basis.

[strummerville]

+1 on the eyebrow thing. Oh, I am now officially in late 40s so need to take my glasses off to see close up and put them back on to see anything more than three feet away...

[DavePieman]

Seeing so many of my old school friends getting married and having kids, when it only seems five minutes since I left.

One that shook me up a couple of years ago was seeing Damon Hill's son competing in top-line motorsport - it doesn't seem two minutes since Damon was winning his world title.

I'm 27 and already feeling ancient. Help me!

20 years ago I used to mountain bike on a fully rigid £250 bike, which I thought was expensive.

Being young, brave and fit we used to race past the middle aged blokes on exotic hardware - all the gear no idea - now I have a decent bike, a sensible fear of throwing myself off things which has come from experience, and I'm not as fit as I once was either...




Though realistically it will be sold as soon as it gets a bit warmer as I don't use it enough to justify keeping.

I wear cardigans. It's got patches on the elbows. I'm not even a VinceFox.
I got it for xmas from my three kids.

I can't pull 20 year olds anymore. (Well, until my daughter brings her mates home anyway)

I now live in a house that once where fields.

Right hip starting to click.

Think yourself lucky, everything clicks already and I've just turned 26 =/


The one for me is walking in to the local by my old Secondary School and most of the kids drinking in there don't seem like they should be legal to drink!

When I see what looks like an 8 year old kid get into a car and drive away.

All my early cars are now listed under classics
All my siblings are grandparents
My girlfriend is a pensioner !!!!!

[jurbie]

When watching Fawlty Towers you realise that if Polly knocked you back you'd probably be quite happy to have a crack at Sybil.

[Justices]

Seeing the year of birth of some of the athletes and thinking to myself "doesn't that make you 7 years old?".

[DUMBO100]

I'm losing my hearing but only in my left ear as that's the one the Mrs talks into when we're driving

[NailedOn]

Trading the T350c for a Cayman Tiptronic because it's comfortable and sensible.
And not minding in the slightest.

[lord trumpton]

Watching university challenge and thinking the bods look very young.

Not 'getting' Facebook or Twitter and dismissing it as something for the kids and insecure types.

Sitting in slow lane commenting on how fast people drive these days etc

Both ears for me! I have a disabled persons railcard as a result.

Realising that it won't be long until we could feasibly be employing adults born in a different millennium...
