I know exactly what you mean... scroll down, down, down, down...

I hate it when questions have date ranges, and you find your now in an "old" group.

When a young female colleague at worked joked that giving me a blow job would be like giving one to her dad...

Surely a missed opportunity to ask how she knows what giving her dad a blow job is like?

Cheeky cow.

What makes her think B.J.W.'s not her Dad?

When you can remember TV sets that you had to tune to different channels

When you can remember the days before people even HAD television sets.

Or when you've forgotten what nostalgia used to be like......

When you come out of the Doctor's with waves of relief that you're not going to pegg it.

[Sticks.]

When you quite like threads like these because they remind you it's not just you.

When you spend more time looking for the tool you wanted than using it.

..when you can't bear to listen to Radio 4 because the interviewers won't let their guests speak for interrupting them...

You sneeze and pull the muscle between your balls and your anus.

True story, was driving at the time and had to pull over.

Perhaps I have that to look forward to -- at the moment when I sneeze my chest just hurts!

When you are old enough to remember when it wasn't called "Radio 4".

[Monkeylegend]

I can remember Radio 2 being the Light programme and Radio 4 the Home? programme.

Another one, I'm probably too young to comment here, but I'll do it anyway.

I was in my teens when we switched to the EURO, but I was working a lot and managing my own money, buying my own stuff, que 15 years later, none of my peers have any feeling with our old currency, while I'm still re-calculating everything on the fly. Especially when we're all buying real estate these days .
"wow, that's 20 million franks"

Obviously not as old as you claim to be Up until 1967 there were only two legal radio stations in the UK, both run by the BBC -

The Light Programme
The Home Service

Have pity on the Irish -

1921-1979 - Irish Pound linked to UK Sterling

1971 - Irish Pound (and Sterling) switch from old LSD system to decimal currency

1979 - Irish Punt breaks with Sterling to become part of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and calls the changed pound the "Punt" (Gaelic for pound)

1999 - Ireland gives up the Punt for the Euro
