at 25 not much makes me feel old, but i have a couple of little cousins, one who turns 16 next year but i remember the day she was born, the other is now 19 and driving and i remember bathing her in the basin in the sink!

I remember when my parents' next-door neighbours brought home their new baby.

She's in Iraq right now.

When I don't know who any of the celebrities are in Celebrity Big Brother.

Oh and we went to visit some young friends in their 30s who live on the South Coast of England and while we were there we saw this fantastic one-man-band busker. He turned out to be Don Partridge, who had a couple of hits in the 60s.

We went back to our friends and said excitedly 'Hey, we've just seen Don Partridge!'.

You can guess the rest, can't you.........

It's the diabolical dance beat crapola underneath it all that makes me want to do this: :wall: (talking of walls!). I can imagine if I was to go to a club tonight and that came on, and all the amoeba were dancing to it, I would either pee myself laughing or....start a fight! :rotfl:

I felt old when my partner was going through CVs of potential employees. I had a quick nosey and laughed at one person getting the year they were born wrong. I then noticed there were more and more... then I did the maths. People born in 1990 are actually old enough to work!!!!!
Also when I went to the dentist and Dougie Houser was insoecting my teeth, while listening to house music. I mentioned the 'youthfullness' of the dentist to my younger brother, who replied 'yeah he was in my year at school' My dentist was younger than me! I am only 26!

Another one:

I was on the bus a couple of years ago and some college kids were talking about their friend, Kylie.

Then I realised that she was named after Ms Minogue and would have been born around the time KM first got famous.

THAT made me feel old.

I hit a birthday last week. It fills me with a great deal of awe to realise that since I was born I've been around the sun 33 times, travelling a total of JUST OVER 19 AND A QUARTER BILLION MILES(!!!) at a speed of around 66,000 miles per hour

However none of this takes away the depression of just spotting my first grey nose-hair.

I also feel old when people in supermarkets say to their kids 'watch that lady'

It's when you have T-shirts older than that...
