Kids you used to babysit are now babysitting :eek:

Some movie you think of as fairly recent, and which you've been meaning to watch since it came out turns out to be four or five years old

You look at pictures of people drinking or smoking who are of an age when you used to do the same, and think "jesus they look very young to be doing that"

starbelgrade

When you see a load of young ones heading out for the night, in low-cut tops & gee-high mini-skirts & think, "not a cardigan between them - they'll be cold later".

I was reading a piece in the paper about the world cup in South Africa this summer and then realised I could remember Italia '90 which was 20 years ago.

When you start painting the walls magnolia.
I've swore to myself never to do this

Cheap Thrills!

You visit someone in hospital and eye up their bed and facilities jealously!

stovelid

The sight of a white person with dreadlocks or, worse still, riding a unicycle, fills you with an inchoate but definable sense of annoyance and the urge to mutter "cunt" to yourself.

Although you still love music, the thought of reading another interview with another lippy manc in his 20s with a moptop renders you narcoleptic

You can identify clothing trends the second time around

You nostalgically buy retro trainers because you owned a pair when you were 15.

You tell the teenage shop assistant that you are nostalgically buying retro trainers because you owned a pair when you were 15.

The teenage shop assistant looks at you like you are a care in the community case when you tell them that you are nostalgically buying retro trainers because you owned a pair when you were 15.

You prefer MILFs to girls in their 20s.

I was 29 on Friday. I asked for and got lots of socks......

No no no Stove - it's the teen boys who prefer the milfs, the auld fellas who prefer the girls in their 20s, so take comfort in that... :pac:

When you start giving out to the local kids for kicking the football over the wall....AGAIN and then say " play on the green !!! you's can have the ball back in the morning"

Startled, you take a pic of the top of your head with your phone when no-ones looking and................:eek: You realize your head looks like Zinedine Zidane's, circa 1998!

When you would rather afew quiet pints while ranting about the state of the country, than go out to a club and get smashed.

When theres afew moth eaten old football shirts in the back of your wardrobe that are now selling on classicfootballshirt.com for 50 quid +

When your music collection is full of albums that were released during or before the LAST recession.
