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.

When your GP tells you, you have Piles.

Grey pubic hair seems like a terror worse than Cthulhu.

[Lord Lucan]

Veteran sports stars are younger than you.

[Rocket Spud]

You hate computers.

[Rocket Spud]

And you get nostalgic about Coldplay's first album.

[Rocket Spud]

And you are lame.

[Calvados]

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

[Coffee]

^ oh Converse that's interesting, I think if I met a pensioner in Converse trainers I'd immediately think they were awesome.

[Clementine]

I wear battered and faded lime green Converse.

[Cheshire Cat]

You start looking forward to Friday and Saturday nights at home with a mug of cocoa and a movie

[Cheshire Cat]

^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!

[Cheshire Cat]

^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.

[kirbycrackle]

They change the money and you feel an odd pang of resentment toward the new stuff...maybe this is just me lol

[indiegirl1980]

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.

[flumpsy]

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

ME: 48?! I remember when she was twentysomething and in The X Files so how can she be..? 21 years ago is 1996?! Wow. It feels longer than that yet at the same time not..

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
