You Know You Are Getting Old When..

...the man on the radio plays a song and says it’s 35 years old.
What?
I know the sums work out right, but still!
1950 was just as far away from its release.

[albaqwerty]

man on radio speak with forked tongue and is rude.

I don't like it when they do things like that with the added phrase 'and waaay back in 1980' good grief, it's not waaay back, 1980 was only last week :-)))

We're actually closer to 2050 than 1990...

You know when you're growing when you still think that a Century-old building was built in the 1800s:)

[albaqwerty]

sanmac, now that comment is just too depressing for words lol x

[Sam1960]

Fred Wedlock sums it up beautifully .....

[Cloverjo]

Bloomin’eck, jimF
I hadn’t thought of that one.

[Theland]

Haven't done, "that," for years :-)

[Hopkirk]

I remember finding it hard to believe that 1984 had actually arrived.

[sanmac]

I vaguely remember reading "1984" as a kid and figuring out how old I'd be when it actually was 1984.

[JimF]

In primary school maths we had to calculate how old we'd be at the start of the 21st century on 1 Jan 2001.

[Mamyalynne]

2001, ah the olden days :-)

[grumpy01]

You I D people for alcohol or tobacco purchase and find on their driving licence that they are 35.

[Arksided]

When you realise it's not a lightsabre... it's a walking stck.

[Sam1960]

Been there grumpy. I always tell them not to be offended, but to take it as a compliment.

[grumpy01]

Agreed Sam.

[shoota]

You know when you are getting old when:
Some young person describes the gun you got for your 21st birthday as 'antique'...

[JimF]

When your niece's daughters call you "Great Uncle Jim" instead of just Jim and burst out laughing.

[Mozz71]

Yup. ET was released closer to WWII than it is to today.

[Mozz71]

2001: A Space Odyssey is now a historical drama.

[Tuvok]
