    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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."
