My nephew. It doesn't seem like 5 minutes since he was 6 and I took him up to London for a weekend break. He is 30 this year and has three kids of his own :-/

Playing with my younger cousins who are between 4-6 years old. Especially when it involves cartwheeling, tumbling and shit. I used to be able to do those things with ease, now I feel I'm going to injure myself whatever I do!

Nothing makes me feel old. Not being a parent, not passing forty, not getting grey chest hairs (I don't feel your pain, Raul), not being able to do hangovers any more, not seeing an entire generation of family drift away before your eyes. Nothing. I just don't feel old. I've been here a little longer, that's all.

I'm with you corkboy.

I have turned 40, become a parent, watched lads young enough to be my son run onto the pitch at Anfield and experienced many of the things people have mentioned already (but thankfully not the chest hair, grey or otherwise!), but I don't feel old. I never have and I hope I never will. If my parents are an indicator, then the signs are good!

Being called a fat old lady by primary school kids just the other day. Cheeky fuckers.

Regularly being asked to push tobacco or alcohol by other teenagers. Started when I was around 15, many of those who ask are probably older than me.

- remembering when I could buy sausage and chips for 17p (chips 10p, sausage 7p)
- remembering Espana '82
- remembering when you could buy a pack of polos (mint only) for 7p
- realising Raul (spanish player) is only 34!

When the kids in the neighbourhood call me "Uncle, Uncle!!!" Not too long ago, I used to call people that.

No, but she could help me achieve cool by telling me what the fuck it means! Instead I just feel old

Repeats of Hilll Street Blues, but at the same time it makes me feel like a little kid. When I was 5 or 6 I'd wait until my brother and sister were asleep and sneak downstairs and my mum would let me stay up late and watch it.

I think it's things like your back going for no apparent reason. Like if you suddenly cough, you can sometimes put your back out for a week...

When I talk about a celebrity and my wife's 14 yr old son asks who they are. I mean how could someone not know who Jeremy Beadle and Paul Daniels are? Kids today have no culture in their lives.

Finding 18 year old girls attractive & realizing there's now 6 years between us, it doesn't feel like that long ago at all that I was cursing c*nts like me for making me look like a spotty, crackly voiced wanker. Now look at me, I've become what I despise. How easily men succumb to female charms, the shame.
