Definitely Maybe is 20 years old tomorrow.

I was listening to the Bluetones first album yesterday, trying to work out how on earth it was 18 years old.

Only 23 myself but I can appreciate this as Expecting to Fly was one of my dad's most played albums in the 90s. Great album and I must steal it next time I pop round

Family can request the account be closed although I believe they have to jump through some hoops to get it done.

I keep on getting shown as a possible FB friend a girl who has been dead for several years

For me it's when you don't know who up to date singers/groups are. Growing up I was always right up to date with the charts/music groups etc. Now I haven't a clue and that makes me feel old. So off to catch the Top 40 on VMusic!!

more than half of your facebook / linkedin contacts are dead ......

not quite there yet but this year has made a dent with 4 passing on already

and why does it feel wrong to "unfriend" them ......

ahh life goes on

You can't be that old, you have a Facebook account. Personally I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. Bah humbug

That's not being old, that's not acting old! Do you refuse to drive a car without a manual choke as well?

I'm 48 next month and feel the same about the charts, haven't got a clue about a thing in the top 40. I used to know everything in the late '70s through to the early '90s.

Having said that though, I listen to 6 Music all the time buy a lot of stuff I hear.

You make an involuntary noise every time you get up from a chair.

There is a girl in quite a responsible position in my office who is 3 months younger than my driving licence.

Gahh...

As a pedestrian, you find yourself shouting 'SLOW DOWN' at passing cars even when they are doing 35 in a 30...

My "cyber" friend on here hasn't replied to any of my messages in ages & the last time he was active on here was 19th August 2010.......

I know he was poorly & fear the worst & have no way of contacting his family.

Rings a bell, was he a regular at the Nurburgring, possibly lived in Ireland?

I'm 48 on Sunday but do listen to the charts and 6 Music.

What makes me feel old is talking about fairly newish cars or bikes and the young lads in the workshop stare at you blankly with a "What's a Scimitar/Esprit?"

When barber's start asking for your age at the till!

[Squiggs]

When your idea of 'That was a cracking night out!' actually translates to 'I went to the pub and beat my mate at crib/dominoes over a couple of pints.'
