things that make you feel old

[philip walker]

Putting clothes back on the rail when clothes shopping because it is a bit too young for you. *sob*

[The Eye]

Don't worry Philip, leather trousers never suited anyone or age.

[purplenormy]

I'm only 26, but I felt incredibly old when I was home for Christmas and noted that several of my cousins children are now of drinking age. Strange I know.

[The Eye]

So I take it they're 13/14 years old?

[purplenormy]

nah they're 18, always seemed much younger, probably have the mentality of a 13/14 yr old tho ha!

[SteveT]

Knowing a King's consultant's first name............

[iaineasy]

setting a reminder for newsnight and falling asleep before its half way through!

[computedshorty]

?

[The Eye]

Producing driving license and insurance details for the Police during a roadside check.

[RosieH]

Realising that I had it large in Ibiza more than half my life ago...

[PeckhamRose]

Tutting at the ease of questions on MasterMind when they concentrate on cultural stuff from the 80s.

[PeckhamRose]

And 70s...

[Keef]

Feeling gutted about not being able to go out, but then realising that you're much happier indoors with some cans and a joint.

Hating bands like Arctic Monkeys.

Being able to finally afford the guitar you want, but looking to bald and fat to look cool with it.

[????]

Gawd, where do I start...Currently, telling the umpteenth person under 30 that Wild Horses was in fact originally a Rolling Stones' song and not written for Susan bloody Doyle (Boyle?).....

[The Eye]

Concuring with the above.

[katie1997]

..thinking that high heels are not as comfortable anymore and opting for more sensible shoes argh...

...thinking that its easier to stay at home all snuggled up with a glass of wine instead of the sheer bother of getting ready to go out to a noisy bar.

..the realisation that your boss would only have been 6 years old when you began your career

..highlight of the weekend is a visit to the garden centre and a good play on radio 4 LOL....

[The Eye]

Reading bedtime stories to younger Eye's. With the odd, well...you know...'addition'. Who said Willy Wonker hadn't done time eh?

[woofmarkthedog]

Oh, a clumsy construct "I" say but let it ride

Too general is "younger Eye's" parents differentiate you see as in "youngest" or "son/daughter"

Perk up please

We are a discerning audience , perform or "ship out"

Burhhhhhhhappp !! (fog horn)

W**F

[The Eye]

All "I" can differentiate is that, of the pack, parents are the easiest of game.

[The Eye]

Anyway, where were we...

That's right. Asking which of the younger Eye's has brushed their teeth? I never used to ask that of the youngest of Eye's when I first started nicking my parents booze.

[woofmarkthedog]

Sub group cross over.

So when stealing the "Booze" & whilst staying at your parents/their Grandparents house you negated to check which of your children had cleaned their teeth

Very well

You believe it, so in delusion we too may accept this "Scenario" as real

I like garden paths BTW

Press ups ?

W**F

Telling someone that Hallelujah was done better before X Factor.

Problem was that the person I was telling was the mother in law...not someone younger.

[The Eye]

"I like garden paths BTW."

Well, it all depends on which you prefer being lead to.

"Press ups?"

Not at all. We were rewarded for penetrating enemy lines that were drawn during peace time.

[Eileen]

frequently being offered a seat in crowded tube and overground trains by kind courteous sometimes sheepish middle aged and younger poeple (but interestingy rarely on a bus... though I don't travel much on a bus if I can avoid it.)

[HonaloochieB]

Seeing a thread on here entitled 'stool softener'.
