For me it was having to explain to my students last week how I survived without the internet as a younger man! They couldn’t believe it and asked if it was because of the German bombs knocking out the WiFi  |

Friends dying in quick succession
Wondering how long it'll be before it's my dads turn
Being rubbish at tech
Looking around the site and thinking I've outgrown it. Not because I think I'm superior, just seen too much horrid stuff to last me a lifetime |

When you offer to help someone to wank, and you keep having to swap hands because your arms are starting to hurt doing it but its rude to stop halfway through.
Never used to happen.... |

I felt old when I had the choice of a sporty new car or comfortable car I picked the comfortable sensible car. One reason being heated seats for when my back aches. |

Today in the supermarket a young lad who works there tried to shove a loaf on me ..... when I looked at him odd, he said ..... Oh sorry its not you and walked down the aisle to the woman waiting for the loaf....
She was pushing a bloody 4 wheeled shopper and was about 80!

Visited my youngest to see my new grandson. My son-in-law drove me home. I remember when he used to come to mine after school to do his homework, and me driving him home.
When I got married my ex-husband was 29...he'll be 70 next week!!! |

The fact that songs like Soft Cells “Tainted love” and Shakin Stevens “This Ole House” will be 40 years old this year.
At the time they were released, 40 years ago was 1941! So now is the same to 1981 as 1981 wax to 1941 (if that makes sense! ) |

I get that. Talking to my teenagers and they think 1960s music is from the Ark! I just see it as 20yrs behind me |
