Feeling Old

Chirpy Red

I remember thinking I'd come to a watershed when the Heavyweight Champion of the World was younger than me, Mike Tyson. Then it was England football captain, Platt in '93 and Cricket Atherton.
Now for the first time in my life the Prime Minister is younger than me. That does make me feel old.......

I have the same feeling when I realise that the majority of the Charlton squad are younger than me and I'm only 30 :-)

Penfolds Perm

I was thinking exactly the same thing last night. I thought it would be a lot further down the line for me when both the Charlton manager and the PrimeMinister were both younger than me, I'll be drinking halfs of bitter before to long.

Dont worry about it boys... f*** it youll be alright....

go and do a bottle of vodka in the park and relive your youth, thatll put a smile on your face.....

I started feeling old a few years ago when my boss was appointed. He was 10 years younger than me...

Not that I have a problem with the cops but when you're 62 and some young 21 year old PC tries to get smart with you it is 'very' hard to take!

MrOneLung

You are officially old the day after your 34th birthday - when you realise you are closer to 50 than you are to 18.

I felt very old this Sunday morning, waking up after bowling 6 overs in a row on Saturday afternoon, the aches and pains get harder every season.....

You're old when the pope starting looks young.

Talking of which, how old is Nick Clegg?

We were having the same discussion this morning. I can remember as a kid thinking that the players must be really old, then in my 20's thinking that there was still hope that a super scout might just turn up at Wormwood Scrubs rec on a Sunday morning and realise I'd slipped thorugh the net, then in my 30's thinking "Well...at least I'm still younger than all the managers", now I'm having to come to terms with the fact that the PM is only a year or two older than me! Flipping eck...

A few weeks ago I was watching a Scottish match when I became aware of the fact that one of the players, a certain Tom Hateley, is the son of Mark Hateley.

And he is the grandson of Tony Hateley who I remember seeing play!

Found out yesterday a kid that used to get on my train to work in his school uniform is turning 30 :-(

For me, the strangest sign of being old is feeling great the day after you play football... but then being hardly able to walk on the next day.

'Old' is when it takes two days to ache.

Really old is when the bits that don't hurt don't work.

Don't have that problem yet!

I felt old turning 20 in that I'm halfway to 40! It just feels like it's going to slip by so quickly now, and I get conscious of having to squeeze every drop out of being young before I have my 'where did the years go' moment.

Phrases like 'youth is wasted on the young' always terrify me, because I feel like I'm missing out on some deep wisdom that I'll kick myself later on for not knowing.

Best ten years of your life to come mate. Dont feel like this your 20's are wicked and i have only had 3 and a half years of them and i have already had the times of my life and am continuing to do so now. I think they are the best cos your not expected to behave adult but you get all the benefits of being an adult enjoy your 20's like i am mate and then think about the rest when you turn 30 ;-).

Well, I was 20 once ....... and funnily enough, I'm older than that now.

Looking back, the "best days of your life" come whenever you're open to them, regardless of 20s, 30s, 40s, etc.
However young or old you are, every single day can be the best day of your life - it all depends on your attitude, sense of direction/ambition, ability to laugh at yourself and with others.

And sieze the moment.

Whatever age you are, really it's all a bowl of cherries. Or not.
You decide!

I scored twice for my football team today and it has lobbed about ten years off of my general demeanour.

Proper Steptoe tomorrow though!

So right now you're behaving like a 12 year old?
Need to cut down on the Pepsi, Scoh.

Cheers Ru and Oggy for aiding me in getting through my quarter life crisis!
