I'm at that stage: late 30's, still feel quite young but know deep down that time is ticking on.

However, caught the end of Top Gun on telly last night and happened to notice the copyright date during the credits.
It was filmed 22 fecking years ago!yikes

Christ on a bike.

Now I really do feel old.

Kids that sat their GCSEs this year were born in 1992.

Tell you what does make you feel old though, going to the Doctors for a back problem and 'whilst you're there' getting referred into the bowel cancer screening programme and for cholesterol tests.

I said 'Behave, I'm 36'

She said 'You want to think about giving up the fags too then'

You are old.

I know what you mean though. I've got friends I've known 20 years, which wouldn't be so bad but for the fact I met them at uni.

Wait until you're 43.

Whenever you see the Doc he says: "Drink less. Lose weight. Take more exercise.".

Whenever you pass the undertakers you get the feeling they're sizing you up.

Less ahead than there's been, you see. That's what makes you feel it. But what the hell?

I still just think all the young 'uns like me were born in the 70's biggrin

On that Sierra thread we were chatting about what you were driving in 1990. And some of the kids put up pictures of prams and buggies! Shocking!


And don't you think policemen and looking younger nowadays?

Well in the past month I have had man flu twice and a bad back that took me off work for two weeks. I have decided its one of the following reasons

1) I am getting old (most likely)
2) Climate change - work with me here!
3) I am actually turning into a man rolleyes

Saw one the other day who I could not take seriously for a second.

He was 5'4" and looked about 12.

It admittedly could have been a child in a dressing up outfit but he had that air of misplaced self importance down rather well if it was.

FFS Kit, you're still a spritely whipper-snapper!

None of the above apply. You just need a bit of PMA smile

65 enjoyable years then dead.

65 miserable years, then 20 years of ill health and mental incapacity, then put in a home, then dead.

Fetch me over some of those red Marlboros, Matt...
