What makes me feel old is when someone in their 30s or 40s (I’m in my mid 50s) try to make out they’re old by talking about following football scores on ceefax or being nostalgic for Sky sports only having 1 live game on a Sunday. That’s not old.


Yeah, every game kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday, no exceptions. I well remember walking into the Anny and looking down the Main Stand car park to see if the TV trucks were parked up, so we'd be on MOTD - if we came from the Utting Ave end, it was a look up into the Main gantry. 

I remember ceefax coming in, I was 7 or 8 , my Ma worked in Visionhire (yes kids people used to rent not buy Tellys) and I used to demonstrate Ceefax to customers when we were there on our school holidays - no holiday clubs, too young to be left home so got dragged to work with my Ma

I'm not having a funeral and Pure Cremation can get fucked too - just get taken from the hospital, burnt, then the missus or kids can get my ashes and spread them somewhere.

I actually got a reminder how old I was today reading the papers. As Scotland are playing Cyprus tomorrow, they were remembering previous encounters, one of which I listened to on the radio driving round Aberdeen when I should have been in the office.

It was in 1989. I've been driving for 34 years now. That was very sobering.

The scorer of the winner that day was Richard Gough. In my head he only retired about 10 years ago.

Im 18 years older than my sister and she asks me what it was like in the old days

My kids ask me this. They are both under teenage age but the difference in technology amazes them when I talk about being in my teens in the late 90’s.

In terms of feeling old I think your 40’s can be the worst. Firstly you just feel a bit more tired and worn by life. I’d imagine even more so if you have gone through parenthood.

In addition when you are 40 it’s a good chance your parents are 60+. It gets to the point where the notice how age has made your parents fallible to the effects of age.

The 2 factors above have made me more conscious of my age. I look at my parents and they now seem old. Being 20-25 years older than me makes that realisation that whilst old age isn’t knocking on the door, you are already 60-70%  of the way to being really old.

That’s what make me feel old

By the same token I don’t think ‘old’ people today seem as old as they did when I were a lad! My parents are early 70s. My dad still plays a bit of tennis, my mum is still pretty active. A couple of my grandparents had died by their age now, and the others seemed pretty ancient.

My Grandad wore a jacket and tie almost everywhere. My dad thinks he’s Rob. Always got his pins out.

I've noticed that too, I still feel young, my Dad is 76, still goes the gym, does step and other stuff, still perves at women, my Stepdad is 82 and still cycles, but he's getting worn out now. Her Dad was born in 1932 and he was more of that generation, trousers, shirt and shoes all the time.

Was having a laugh with mates a few years ago, imagining us in a nursing home. They'll wheel the piano out and it'll be "fuck off with that shite" My missus will want early 80s stuff playing his wife the same plus Buble, me anything from 60s Rock through Punk, Metal, Grunge and he'd want the likes of Internal Bleeding (apt for a nursing home) Visceral Discourge, Vomitous etc

Packed playing footie in years ago but joined in training earlier with a local team for the game that followed.  Trying to keep up with players in their 20’s (I reached the half century during covid) and the hamstring and calf went at same time.  Now laid up on the couch in agony with zip chance of driving into work tomorrow, so WFH it is.  Feeling older than old.

I'm not having a funeral and Pure Cremation can get fucked too - just get taken from the hospital, burnt, then the missus or kids can get my ashes and spread them somewhere.
It's too premature to state that Rob. It's not impossible that in 30 odd years Claire will use AI to absorb your ashes in to the RAWK screen ink and we'll be typing with you everyday.
And by then we'll know that your missus has joined because someone will type c*nt c*nt c*nt scouse c*nt scouse c*nt c*nt c*nt scouse c*nt on every page  ;D

And Andy will start a poll to see which font your ink appears best in.

Honestly, I miss that. Being able to say, see you next week Friday at 4pm there, and then just turning up at the agreed time and place. Nowadays, you have to confirm 5 times thats its still happening, and half of them decide sometime in between they can't make it anymore. Then, when you do turn up, you get a message that the rest are somewhere else already.

Mate of ours worked for Ryder Truck Rental as a Trailer Fitter in the 80's, he was on call one night and turned up at the pub as he was bored at home, he brought his works mobile in with him, very much like this, it was massive and weighed a ton ;D

My Grandad wore a jacket and tie almost everywhere. My dad thinks he’s Rob. Always got his pins out.

My entire grand parents generation survived the war and all the did was drink bells whisky and smoke 20-40 a day and were overall pretty happy and were really social. It's no wonder they all died comparatively young.

I feel old now as I feel I finally became my Dad of quite over weight and just out of enrgy all the time and feel in teh spin cycle of working to make money to pay off debt and keep the kids and wife happy.

The amount of methane generated by the 1966 family should be more than enough to incinerate Rob.

She's been blowing like mad this week, it's been horrendous ;D

My entire grand parents generation survived the war and all the did was drink bells whisky and smoke 20-40 a day and were overall pretty happy and were really social. It's no wonder they all died comparatively young.

I feel old now as I feel I finally became my Dad of quite over weight and just out of enrgy all the time and feel in teh spin cycle of working to make money to pay off debt and keep the kids and wife happy.

That's what I feel like at the minute too - I joined the gym 3 months ago, but my torn meniscus is taking it time healing, so can't go as much as I want. I can do 30 mins on the cross trainer, but I'm drowned in sweat, my brothers kids have all left home, the jammy bastard.

Some of the 502s/503s were pushing 45 years old when they were replaced by the 507s/8s. Now they're pushing 45 years old.

You likely won't live to see the 777s replaced.

IF I do, I'll be 101.

Like Statto, I also remember the 502s/503s being replaced, I also still remember the first time the train didn't go into Exchange Street station and we instead dropped down into the tunnel and Kirkby getting the third rail. Going into the tunnel was like space 1999 with the lights flashing past the windows.

I don't remember Exchange Street myself, although it was around when I was a kid. I reckon they should put it back, or a version of it. Central isn't going to be able to cope with the numbers if/when they expand the network.

Incidentally I popped over to Southport today and they had four 777s on the sidings just outside the station. One set was one of the battery units meant to run on unelectrified track, 777 144.
