I saw that mentioned on Twitter earlier. Yeah, I felt old. I remember seeing them live as well when they becoming proper big. That must be about nine and a half years ago now.
This is the one that really got me after my birthday this year.
I feel your pain with that one, Toby.
I had to pay more than my girlfriend to go up the tower in Bruges as I was a year older, and thus entered another category for some reason.
Where is that? Don't you mean Brugge?
You young cunts.
There being a guy in the office who is 18 and this being his first job. Particularly, I think, because the average age of people in our office is much nearer to 30.
I turn thirty in five weeks and have no hair, everything makes me feel old.
I bought In Utero the day it came out. On cassette.
Realising that the game I've played is celebrating it's 14 year anniversary and remembering that I beta tested it before release.
Test.
Footballers are another one to make you feel old. Delle Alli was born in 1996
We can't be far off the next wonder kid being born in the 2000s.
Having to think for a second while you work out how old you actually are.
Not waking with a horn any more.
The years 2006-8 now being impossibly distant keeps surprising me. They seem like yesterday.
One of the kids I was coaching yesterday scored a goal that was distinctly like Ronaldinho's vs us at the World Cup. I mentioned that to him and he had no idea what goal I was talking about as he was 2 years old when it happened.
Yeah, this.Originally Posted by Disco
In the same age category as Toby though. Win.
Sport history is bad for this. To a 17 year old now, Mourinho's first title is what Blackburn's title is to me, time wise.
And for the same person, their equivalent of Italia 90 (I was alive but not old enough to watch it) is Euro 2000.
Seems unfair that they missed out on Euro 96, think that was my first real memory of caring about England's results.
Turning thirty next week.
Pepe's older than me? Get in.
One of the students I played football with last week was born in 1998, which would have been around the time I bought the France shirt I was wearing to play.
Seeing some female quasi-celebrity in any sort of situation and thinking, wow she's fit - then googling and finding out she's born in like 1993 or something.
This being the fiftieth iteration of this thread is working quite well at the moment. The old board turning ten years old was a good one.
My now standard answer to this is that Ralph Macchio is now older than Pat Morita was when Karate Kid was made.
As long as it's not 2003 you're fine mate.
1 year from the 20th. It's already been 5 years since WC 2010. I remember the first player I heard about who was younger than me, Mason Bennett. This was in 2012 or so. Now there are a good few who are younger than me. Scary. I won't be a teenager ever again come next summer
This. This make me feel old.
Just wait til your facebook feed is all babies and weddings.
Wait til it's Facebook accounts by said kids and the rest of your feed is all heart attacks and funerals.
Babies and weddings are a good one, actually. I appear to be pretty much the only one left in my group of friends with a complete disinterest in either.
I guess being a less than a year away from thirty makes me feel somewhat old.
My life is still relatively carefree, but saving for a house, thinking (seriously) when and where to get married, when to start a family are quite a far cry to what I was thinking closer to twenty.
Mine already is.
Remember that lady who put a cat in a bin?
That was five years ago today.
I bet she's feline pretty stupid now.
Seeing girls out pushing their kids in prams and realising they (no, not the kids, you horrible fucks) would be too young for me.
The kids wouldn't be too young for you and you think we're the horrible fucks?
I don't consider anybody of legal age too young to fuck. There's a quite wonderful eighteen year old working on my ED reception desk at the minute. The things I'd do.
I attempted a simple leap onto a 3ft wall the other day - nearly fell backwards as my gut stopped me from brining my knees high enough.
Fat and old.
I thought all Asian people were skinny?
I'm not Asian. Just a fatty from Cheshire.
.....
Turning 30 soon.
Students who were born after 9/11.
The 30-40 ones really hit home. I've only come across it once, but fuck me...This is the one that really got me after my birthday this year.
A lot of you are older than I thought. I would have thought only one or two were out of their 20's and a lot were teenagers.
I read that as Aslan.
To be fair, I'm not Aslan either.
I think you're lion to us JA.
Nothing makes me feel old these days, at least any more than I already do, since I accepted that I am old (or at least not young) a few years ago now.
I've never seen that cover to that album before. It's always been the guy's face surely?
Yep. My very earliest memory of watching football is Italy 2-0 Germany in the World Cup semifinals, and even then I only have the blurriest memory of the counterattack for Del Piero's goal. The first European game I ever watched was Liverpool 4-2 Arsenal in the Champions League, which I'm sure must seem like recent history to some of you. Albeit that's as an American, where it hasn't been part of the culture, but still.
I'm about to send in my first college application, so that's an obvious one. Being on the cusp of leaving home hasn't really sunk in yet. My 8th grade year feels like it was yesterday, and now I'm in the high school equivalent of that, and it's all just been a blur. I look at my friends and they look like adults, and do adult things. The new presidential cycle is another one.
I think James Mercer of the Shins nailed it for all time when he sung, "The years have been short but the days are long."
