When I was about nine, I would watch Inspector Gadget on a black and white twelve inch Telly with a circular aerial attached to the back that had to just right to avoid snow on screen.

My three year is currently streaming Inspector Gadget on my iPad. And it's colour!

Going for a Paramore concert and realising every other person around me is a pre teen girl.

Hooking up with pre teen girls at paramore concerts always makes me feel pretty old.

pretty much all media makes me feel old. And yeah, seeing the likes of Flanno in the squad when he looks about 8 years old.

Fell asleep at midnight but woke up early. Far too early.
I was long distance commuting to work at a Tower of Silence in Plymouth last week and getting up at 6 to leave at 6.45 and haven't shaken it off yet.
And I'm in Oslo next week so don't really want to as even earlier risings there with the hour time difference.

Actually having to worry about what time I need to be up to allow for travel makes me feel old.

A lot of songs on Radio 1 I feel appalled at the lyrics and have an old grumpy lady rant about how it must be damaging the children.

Loving to hear F.Sinatra, Classical, and watching Humphrey Bogart movies over the contemporary bullshit that's peddled from the music "industry" these days.

And the fact that I'm getting to be older than most of the players coming trough hurts as well. Frimpongs 19 ffs.

And lastly, the grand Amiga that's upstairs hoarding dust.

stevedo · « **Reply #27 on:** August 22, 2011, 12:37:14 pm »

Three pint hangovers.
Not understanding certain types of new technology.
Being tired all the time. That one could be down to having young kids.
When saying "shall we have an early night?" means sleep.

I remember Italia 90

Ok, knowing I'm older than SHF makes me feel very old.

Looking at the age of most football players. As a kid you used to look up to them as they were older and you wanted to be one of them.

Now you realise you are older than 90% of them and they are millionaires before they are 25. Massive dose of reality.

This.

I am 25 and already feel old, loads of footballers younger than me with all that money and fame is depressing too.

Also I like Queen, Metallica and shit like that, I know they are opposites in genre but it's proper music with instruments and shit, JLS and all that bollocks can go fuck themselves, I do like Lady GaGa I am afraid to say but only because her music actually has lyrics which make sense/tell a small story as opposed to people like Ke$ha and shit like that, plus she is very talented (look up Lady Gaga Acoustic on Youtube and you will see)
