    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!

    And, before you say it, no I am not 88!

    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?!

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

    Discovering that Annette Andre from the original Randall and Hopkirk Deceased is now 82. As a young lad I found her pleasing on the eye...

    Being offered an over 60s discount card by a cab driver. Bastard! I'm only 57 and look about 32. Honest, yes 32. Really. 32.
    You claimed that card yet😂

    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.

    Yup, I remember doing pre-delivery inspections on Morris 1000s and MGBs.

    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.

    Listening to adults who I think look and act same age as me, giving their date of births to hospital pharmacy as the late 90's.

    I think I have a genuine case of age dysmorphia

    Watching the tennis and thinking so and so is easy on the eye before realising that she is younger than any of my daughters.

    Signed a player for my footy team who was born in 2002, I bought my shin pads that I still use the season before that!
