You know you are getting old when...
Discussion
Chatting to a girl last week in her twenties about music, I mentioned Happy Monday's Step on as probably the best song of 1990, maybe the entire decade, she had never heard of the band or even heard the song. 
My mate said later, it was like someone mentioning a sixties song to me in 1990, made me feel old that.

When the surgery you had on a knackered ankle (snowboarding injury) is failing.
The specialist says if you can put up with the discomfort for 10 years before he goes back in and does what ever he can to improve it
(as it wont last as long this time)
Then when that fails you'll be getting a replacement ankle.

Why not get the replacement ankle now when younger and can recover better?The specialist says if you can put up with the discomfort for 10 years before he goes back in and does what ever he can to improve it

Something popped up on my Facebook page recently saying in two years time the 1990s will have started 30 years ago.
How did that happen?
Have seen similar saying how 1990 is closer to the moon landings than 2018 (and it is..by a distance). I know 'maffs innit' but the eras seem so much different socially.How did that happen?

When you can remember listening to Tears Of A Clown, My Sweet Lord, Im Gonna Run Away From You and Melting Pot on the Radio, just before you left for school
when I left school the Beatles released 'Love me Do' and the first James Bond film was premiered.( Can't remember the year.

Its something they would like to do only once if possible, so for it to last the rest of your life they try to hold off on doing it until later in life. I still snowboard though, so it could go quicker.
When you look in the mirror and not only see your Dad staring back at you, but his Dad too, even though you never really knew him.
When you put on the 50th anniversary edition of the White Album and remember vividly your uncle placing his record player's wooden encased speaker on the window sill blasting out 'Helter Skelter' at full volume so the neighbours could hear it, crackles and all, the Christmas just after after the LP was released.
When you buy your second midlife crisis Rover P5B Coupe which your Mrs dubs 'the big Jewish car' precisely forty years after your Jewish Grandad's stereotypical Jewish fur coat wearing cousin bought one of the last ones ever built brand new. It was his third in a row too, oi vay.
