How Do You Know When You're Old

I know I'm getting on. I chose a sensible car with reasonable mileage and a good safety record over something fast as heck with 120,000 miles on it. I just used the expression 'fast as heck'. When the 'music' on Radio 1 just turned into noise, I tried Radio 2 and really quite liked it. I pay into a pension scheme. House prices worry me. People younger than me are now pop stars, Formula 1 drivers and 'celebrities'. I don't understand why 90% of people are 'celebrities' these days. I don't think the clothes in Next and River Island are cool or fashionable, they're just showing off, but the clothes in M&S are becoming increasingly appealing. I think how good it was when coke was 25p a can. I'm seeing fashions come around from when I was young to being cool again. I remember a time before the internet, reality TV, mobile phones, mountain bikes, and the two martins.

How f**king old are you? :P:lol:

I got one, you tell yourself to get down from that wall you're about to sidehop off, and tell yourself to be careful, progressing to hitting yourself with your walking stick, then swapping your steed for one of those pull along baskets on wheels things.

My Dad made one from a kit, but it had half a dozen different games on I think.

Being orange doesn't narrow it down much, I think everything was some shade of orange or brown in the late 70s/early 80s. Just look at your toddler photos poopipe ;)

How f**king old are you? :P:lol:

Oi! Bloody young people with their house music and their drugs and their funny trousers. Some national service would do you all good! You couldn't say things like f**k in my day! Would have made Vera Lynn faint!

You know you're old when you post things like:
