Things that make you feel old...
Discussion
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.

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

Just had to explain what 35mm film negatives are for to a 10 year old.
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.

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."What are they?" He asked.
I showed my son (7) a video on You Tube of the original SNES Mario Kart. He laughed.
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
