What makes you feel old?

Actually I felt quite old in November 2005 when I went to a school reunion and myself and a friend met up. We were introduced to the new headmaster....and we both agreed he was really tasty!

:eek:

Listening to Zane Lowe on Radio 1 the other night and he said 'if you don't know this song, go and ask your folks about it'... and then he plays 'Sit Down' by James.

Oh god, this made me laugh!!

Listening to 'Pick of the Pops' on a Sunday on Radio 2 and remembering both charts they play from the first time around. :eek:

Oh and how many children out there would know what "the Corona man van" is on a Sunday afternoon??

(Actually I wonder if this was a regional thing? In case anyone over 35 doesn't know either....it was the fizzy drinks company who are no longer with us. They had a Sunday afternoon round on our estate and Mum would treat us to 2 x 1 litre bottles of pop that had to last us all the week....myself and two siblings plus Mum!)

We used to have the lemo van round aswell.....cream soda (mmmmmmm) dandelion & burdock...I remember once when we got the Christmas 'pop' on, I'd made a bit of a piglet of myself and wanted to try everything.....so I opened up the tonic water....well didn't know what it was ....eurgh:eek:

And we had the mobile were you could get loosies from:o

For me, the getting old(er) bit was definately when my ickle nephew became a dad (not the youngest) and made me a great auntie.....I haven't got kids yet and I'm a great auntie:eek:

Ohh I remember the pop man. He used to come round our estate on a Friday night.

You must've been richer than us LA....we never had pop in the house, just water or milk to drink when I was a kid.

Oh yes chrismojam....tonic water when you are a kid...LOL...it's gross isn't it?

spud30....us rich? :rotfl:

That pop was the biggest treat in the world...we used to fight over who would choose which flavour that week...!

Going bald and taking more than a few weeks of dieting and gym to lose the belly which only comes back anyway!

Also not "getting" why teens think it is cool to wear trousers that rest halfway down their bums!

I think this answers one of my questions! :eek: :rotfl:
