The new influx of officers at work. Talking with a couple of them yesterday they revealed that they were born in 1998 and ‘97 respectively. I know another was also born in ‘98. My stepdaughter was born in ‘94. They’re kids and I wonder what they’re doing there.
checking whether or not someone qualifies for @Riviera 's 'Celebrities That Are Still Alive' thread and discovering they are only 2 years older than me!
Was watching Life on Mars again the other day on Netflix, and I realised that a) I'm now older than John Simm was, and b) he went back 23 years and it was apparently very very different. Felt like he went back a few decades.
If I did that now it'd only be bloody 1998. Not sure I'd be that confused by different attitudes, strange quirks of living then etc?!
My 6 year old grandaughter found my pot of 50 pence bits - all with unusual tail sides. She made noises as to whether she should look after them. I told her that when she and her 6 year old cousin are teenagers they could share them out.
(Little pause)
"Grandad, ... will you still be alive when we're teenagers?".
Players who are my age retiring from the game in their mid 30s, when it feels like they only started playing it yesterday.
Makes it hit home how short a player’s career really feels like.
There's a fixed hierarchy as to how the age of footballing people affects you. If you're still comparing yourself to players, you're fine. When you've worked your way through players, referees, managers then owners, that's when you know you're ready for a high backed armchair and an NHS chiropodist.
Must admit I had to Google this - realised I knew what it was - but didn't recognise the name. Then in a blinding flash it came to me, our office in 1970 called it a Banda machine.

now looks like this
17 years ago or something like that
And, before you say it, no I am not 88!

(I'd also make sure I was free on 25th May).

I think I have a genuine case of age dysmorphia
