How do you know you're getting old...

[Master Ray]

I'll answer that when I get old 

See, I got lucky really, I got to restart the clock at 42 and I'm actually only 2 years old 

You shouldn't be on the internet, it's past your bedtime.

When you notice a key and your bunch of keys, and you haven't a clue what its for 

[Master Ray]

When you notice a key and your bunch of keys, and you haven't a clue what its for 

Ha!  I have about eight keys on my keyring and five of them, I have NO ******* idea what they're for!

If I figure them out, I suspect I might be able to burgle some houses!

When you think that fireworks are a dangerous waste of money then you remember the stunts you got up to when you were younger lol

[Heno]

when you think "is it that long ago?"



worst part is when you realise that it is that long ago

and you smile for a moment

and then think "oh! ****!"

I've faced some situations where a younger generation disagree with my views in the case I compare something how it was in 90's or in a start of 2000's. It's a bit strange feeling to being announced you're nostalgic about old things and against how things are done nowadays. I think my generation wasn't that much against older people.

There's something in that I don't like. At times it's just a normal thing to bring another level to discussion. After all it's part of thinking and making statements.

Or when young kids say "back in the day" referring to something 5 years ago. You aint old enough to have a back in the day, junior!!

There's a fourth incarnation of 'Band Aid', doing yet another version of 'Do They Know It's Christmas'...

I saw the picture in the newspaper today and I truly, honestly, only recognised about 20% of them...

[Heno]

one in five? man, you are much more up to date than i thought

i knew geldof once he opened his gob. big L could name lots of them that I had never heard or seen

that makes me happy though

[Pol]

I only knew Harry from 1D lol

[Heno]

i saw him, didn't know who he was, asked, was told, i said "who?", then got it. and then is said - i thought they were  teen boy band and was told - "they were"

i am so glad in a way that pop doesn't register. i've enough baggage from when we were all overwhelmed by it in the golden age of music radio - late 70s, 80s and early 90s i reckon

now its a station for everything. and next apparently bands can buy air time that specifically targets areas whee their fans friends and family are more likely to hear their song

confirmation - we are getting older
