Off Topic What made you first think you were old?

For me it was when I stopped listening to Radio 1 as there was no decent music on it.

 

There were a few things for me. I think the first one was when I realised I was older than my mum and dad were when they had me - and I was still young then, but felt old at the time.

When I started having to fill in employees dates of birth and realising that they were younger than my driving license.

I remember a specific moment when I was stood in a club by the bar on a works night out and just looking around and thinking "what the **** are you doing?" The realisation that I'd have been a hundred times happier being at home watching a good drama and drinking coffee than trying to keep up with the young uns drinking.

 

I was at a gig about five years ago and beforehand i somehow found myself in the mosh pit. When I looked around everyone else looked about 30 years younger than me. Time to leave...

 

On the date of birth point when I first started real work I would complete ‘green forms’ (old form related to legal aid) and very few peoples dates of birth were after England winning the World Cup in 1966 then after a while every client was being born after the 1966 World Cup win. They didn’t see England win the World Cup!! That made me feel real old.

 

That moment when you take a piss, pop the old man back in and he decides he's not ****in finished yet

 

....

 

When I can't find older women and a vintage port is younger than me.

 

When I sit down on the toilet. For a wee. And I grunt. And then sit there for five minutes reading the takeover thread!

 

Advancing to new levels of perverse behaviour

 

My younger sister used to be a nanny. Last time I was up visiting she showed me a pic of a young lady in her graduation gown and asked me if I remembered one of the kids she used to look after. When I expressed surprise that she had already finished uni my sister looked at me like I was stupid and replied "No, but her daughter has"

 

When I can recall seeing Ivor Allchurch and George Eastham play.

 

For their junior school teams.......

 

It’s when I lent over to tie my shoe lace and went errrggghhhhh to bend over and back up.

 

Probs when you started to smell of stale piss Trev.

 

^^^ Typical Chippy toilet humour borne out of hanging around the bogs at St James'.

 

No, that was only when I went to the toilets in the Earl to try and get you to get a round in and you turned to talk to me...
