You watch football players getting drafted and they are only two years older than you.

Ah yes.

I also get Over-50s stuff sent to me and I'm like ... why the hell are they sending me this stuff? .... then I remember I'm actually 54.

Still feel like a kid, though.

You have an afternoon nap. That's twice in the last week. It could become a habit.

^I got to see Richard Lester talk at the BFI about his films, I think it was before a screening of The Bed Sitting Room. I'm with you on that sort of event being a rather perfect evening out!

^We can always make up for lost time in life. It's never too late!

I remember staying up late to watch things, like 'Fourmations', the animation programme on Channel 4 in the 80s. There was always that sense of intrigue at discovering new things, even 'adult' things one wasn't supposed to be watching. It was all a fun part of discovery. It isn't really the same now you can watch anything online. The films I used to see on TV always stayed with me. I remember seeing 'Walkabout' which I remember was shown early one morning and it completely blew my mind. I was only about 16 and I thought it was the most wonderful film I'd ever seen. We don't need to know everything, or be experts, we just need a few special experiences and they stay with you for the rest of your life.

When you have more in common with people who were born in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's than you do with people who were born in the 90's.
I don't get millennials.

Also, when you realise the 90's were so long ago and it's 20 years since Tony Blair was Prime Minister and 20 years since Princess Diana died.

It seems like all you are likely to experience in your future is going to be watered down versions of things you have already experienced.*

That and starting to read the "nutritional information" box on the back of food and drinks




*Apologies for this being really similar to a quote from a film but I cant find the exact wording so have decided it is a quote of me instead

In short-you remember 1996.

Yeah i read a couple of articles the other day. One listing Kim Basinger as 63 (I know she's been around a while but still that kind of melted my brain a bit) and in another Courtney Cox as 53.

It's like how.....

*then I remember Oh, I'm 40 next year
