The 'You know you're getting old...When' Thread

8 years since I left.

I do not think this is the point of the thread and stop rubbing it in!

When your clubbing gear seems sooo last year

[philc]

When you mention "Thunderbirds" and none of your work colleagues have ever heard of them.

When you actually expect to pay off your mortgage this year ()

When you look for a comfy car, not a fast one.

when you know what an "annuity" is

When 50% of the conversations you have with friends and family mention pensions in one way or another

When the Doctor tells you for the first time, "well, at your age........"

When you get your first grey pubic hair

When you rememeber the first Live Aid, and tell everyone that Live8 just wasn't as good

When you remember when Nelson Mandela was a convict

Better stop now, I'm getting depressed..........

The first of those is premature, and the last is a sign of bad taste, not age. I'm older than you and still know that the only good looking Ovlovs ever were the P1800 and P1800E!
