You know you are getting old when...

[malks222]

when you ask people whats the first world cup/ olympics they remember!

[Sticks.]

It's pouring with rain here now, but I don't mind too much because, well, the garden needed it, didn't it?

[Borghetto]

One of my first cars was a Humber Sceptre and practically no one under 50 has ever heard of it.

You go out to buy a new appliance - a washing machine, cooker etc - and one of the major considerations for your impending purchase isn't so much how stylish and mordern it looks or how it performs but more that there's no nooks or crannies or difficult to get behind knobs that would make cleaning it an arduous task.

That's not so much you know you're getting old but more how you know you don't have a cleaner

I like to think I've moved with the times and can compete with 'the modern man' .... so I like to try and cut down the amount of time my wife spends in the kitchen

Although this does seem to rather counter productive as it gives her more than enough free time to disturb me during my afternoon kip to remind me that the light bulb still needs changing in the unused box room

I have shoes older than some of the people I work with.

I have been working in IT longer than some people I am working with have been alive.

Snap, crackle and pop used to be the sound of my cereal, now it's the sound of my body reaching up for the cereal box.

Cars you remember honing around in after passing your test are now 'clasics'!

Your narrow waist and broad mind have swapped places.

[anonymous-user]

When those elasticated waist slacks in the Sunday supplements begin to appeal....

When you notice that no-one seems to use joined-up writing any more....

When you start scanning the 'Deaths' announcements in your local rag....

[Laurel Green]

When you're in agreement with other posters on this thread.

When you come out of the doctors and he says you are really lucky you should be dead !!!

[sherbertdip]

When all your older relatives are dead, and you realise you're next.

When you go on a stag do and are happy that it's a golf weekend rather than just sitting in pubs drinking all day.

Wow - Chandler hasn't aged well! He's starting to look like Beetlejuice!

[barwea]

I saw a link on Facebook this morning: "Things to make people born in 1990 feel old"

If that's old, what does that mean for the rest of us?

Neither has Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe). Friends only finished 10 years ago, looking at half the cast you'd think it had been 20 years!

When the BBC show a clip of the Beatles performing "All You Need is Love" and you can remember when you watched it live.
