And some of them would make better PMs right now than BoJo.

Finding that my comment to university students with whom I work "You're less than half my age" would be better expressed now as "You're less than third my age". Arsicles.

I'll be laughed out of this thread.

One thing that makes me feel old is seeing some of my mates living abroad and working in bike shops to ride more, thinking it sounds like a great idea then realising that it's a terrible idea because I have a job, house, dog and wife-to-be...

Any constantly having to refer to some online dictionary to work out what on earth they are saying.

Also...

Hangovers take longer to go
3D films were Green and red
Your phone (if you had one), camera and walkman were all separate items
House phones with cords
Opal Fruits
Saying "I remember when all this were fields"

Will your next birthday make you feel old?

When you start going to funerals of family members of your generation you realise time is running out.

Explaining to my son,s that we used to be able to service out own cars. Speed anywhere with little chance of being caught. We respected our elders and the police. Nowadays everyone has a chip on their shoulders. Having kids ranging from 34 to 14 yrs.

People have been saying that about young people for hundreds of years...

Listening to fellow Man United supporters bemoaning how crap the team has become and realising they were even worse when you started supporting them. Dave Sexton anyone...?

Realising that despite the fact you entered University as a mature student, it's still a quarter of a century since your Graduation.

Entering sporting events online and having to scroll further and further down the year of birth.

When buying goods you’re considering the items might last longer than you

Mid life crisis purchases, powerful German cars or Harley’s

Barry Cryer says he doesn't buy green bananas any more.

when taking people's details in recruiting role and writing down their date of birth and realising its post 2000 not a real year, like 1974 or whatever.....

When you realise that people born in this century have been able to legally drink for almost 2 years

Having a nap between orgasms

Having sex within your own age group helps as it’s a mutual thing

I gave a lift to 3 of my football team the other day, all 17 year old.

Turned off the radio when they got in saying don't suppose you want to listen to Radio 4, she replies, "what's Radio 4? "

Similar to this

Modern music is just noise, and annoying noise at that.

I must say that, perhaps out of necessity with two pre-teen daughters, I have developed an appreciation of Taylor Swift songs. I may even have sung along on the odd long car journey.


There. I've said it. But I don't feel old.


I draw the line at Ed Sheeran, though.

Haha! Yes! I concur. A friend who saw Ed Sheeran at Glastonbury said "it was as enjoyable as watching Glacial Erosion.."

He's obviously very good at what he does but seems to reserve all his most contrived, clichéd lyrics for his own songs.

I hope his voice gets better as he gets older. He's a bit thin and reedy for my liking, especially when he tries to push it.

He is 8 months older than me so I'm also hoping mine does too...
