The "things that make you realise you're getting older" thread

I spend my days with 34 ten and eleven year olds who don't understand 95% of the references I make throughout the day.

Got laughed at when I suggested a song from 1995 was recent.

I think I’ve posted this before but if “Back to the future” was filmed today, they’d ‘go back’ to 1993. That makes me feel old. 

I'd only be in my 20s so not that bad.

The kids are being all Tracey Barlow, and the missus is watching some shite on E4 upstairs. 

 

I've got the comfy slippers on and a blanket, with a 4 hour RoboCop documentary to watch.

 

Bliss.

Is this RoboCop doc on YouTube at all?

I was sat up late the other week flicking round the telly and I found the series UFO, the scifi thing with Ed Bishop. If you cant remember it is about the organisation SHADO fighting off alien intruders, and is set in the future of 1980.

Robodoc it's called, I was watching it Prime. Its on a channel with a week free sub.

 

Even if you're not interested in Robocop, it's a brilliant documentary on Film making.

Cheers I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Went into my barber's after work tonight. I sit down and she asks me what I want.

 

"Like Harry Dean Stanton", I said.

 

Blank expression from my barber, "What's that?"

 

"Kind of raggedy".

 

The Paris, Texas reference / joke seemed to go over her head and she duly whipped out the clippers.

One good thing about being old on the subject of hair is daft hair styles coming back in fashion. See loads of kids with mullets and perms now.

I'm 63 and might have a dabble with the Darwin Nunez braids for a laugh.

The MILF thread is packed full of women 15 years younger than me.

Found myself discussing the price of fuel at varying petrol stations with a group of similarly minded old goats, in the pub. 

 

There can be like a 10p swing between some stations, its a disgrace! They don't do 2 stroke anymore you know.

My mate has been doing this for about 20 years now. I don't even drive.

Went to town yesterday on a Christmas day out. Had five beers and fucked off, because it was heaving, the ale was overpriced and shite, it was pissing down and the trains were fucked. Got a chippy, was home for 7.30pm and fell asleep at 9pm. Was made up this morning that I was hangover free and hadn't been rinsed by the pubs.

Loud music in town and just loud noise in general.

 

Went in to that McCooleys by Matthew st last week for the sheff Utd game and they had music on that was off the scale. Then they had the game volume on that was off the scale. Either everyone is already deaf or that’s the norm these days.
