Realising that my "couple of year old car" is 6 years old.

realising that "The Mask" was released the same year as my birth..

The mask? I mean the mask? Released in 1994 and you feel old? Your 21 and you are feeling old... Jesus,I've had a rough week with it being my birthday, and posts like this sure don't help...

Remember the smoking hot blonde in that film ? shes 43 this year and still looking pretty good!

I'm not helping am I ?

It could have been worse though.

Imagine putting your new specks on and realising she wasn't that gorgeous after all.

It has happened

Being genuinely impressed the first time I saw the state-of-the-art, futuristic computer animation in Dire Strait's 'Money for Nothing' video



On a related note, I also remember when MTV played music videos.

I'll be 40 exactly 2 weeks today...

So, pretty much everything at the moment!

40 is a crap birthday.

One minute you're "in your 30's" , then all of a sudden your next big birthday is 50

I'm only 25 (soon to be 26) so still a young 'un. However we have had a few apprentices start in work recently. Trying to get to know them and one told me his first games console was a PS2, mine was a NES. Then talking with the other guys at lunch, discussing the new Jurassic World trailer, I was asked whether I liked the original and how old I was when it came out. I informed them I loved it, but I was 4 when it released in '93 so didn't see it until it was on video a year or so later. The apprentice then says "you watched it on video?" to which I reply, "Well, yeah... there was no DVD" and he responds with "I can vaguely remember the local video shop, it was closing down." ... vaguely remembers video rental shops!?

Of course I felt young again when the other guys started talking about betamax.

The realisation that Mike Oldfield presented Tubular Bells II live at Edinburgh Castle 23 years ago I still think of this as the 'modern one'.

And then I realised that the first Tubular Bells was released 42 years ago

I'm very old
