You know you are getting old when:

What, the poster?

That, too!

 

[Trenchfriend]

Anyone of you using Silver Cleaning Wipes?

I learned a new word.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Today, I learned what an "Iqos" is.
Okay, are they youngsters a parallel society or it's me??

Are you getting old when you need a nap before you step out onto the dance floor?

 

[KILO NOVEMBER]

I need a nap before taking a nap.

I've got nothing to say. It speaks for itself.

Al Bundy moment!

Getting old becomes blurred when the headline act of this year's Glastonbury Festival is Reginald Kenneth Dwight. You might know him better by the name: Sir Elton Hercules John CH CBE. He was born on March 25th 1947.
Modern style music festivals are not for me, but I was impressed by the clip that I saw on the news. Here's how a 76 year old wows a younger audience.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Kind of funny, that he's just 40/41 years old, back then!

I'm born in 1984 and as a kid, he seemed to be an old man to me.

 

[Fifty150]

He was born on March 25th 1947

He's older than my Dad.

 

[Inkstainedwretch]

He's older than my Dad.

Exactly three months older than me: June 25, 1947.

Sorry we missed your birthday. Happy belated!

There is a lot to be said in this context - one thing amongst countless others is that you've not the patience to read 373 pages of posts to check whether what you want to say has already been said...

I saw some competitions for oldtimers and the remakable video about Paddy and Nicko.

I like to do some dancing myself and I admired a 85-year old dancer who did a great show wherever he appeared (and I had the chance to tell him how much I admired his dancing performance before he died years ago) where I live and so I can only admire this couple:

Remember 20 years ago, when Telefax was still the big thing and you had to pay attention not put the paper in wrongsided?

 

[Trenchfriend]

I'm 38, grewing up with scrubbing milk as a normal common thing!

Ok, bring the coffin....

I've seen Sir Elton John in concert five times. The first was the now iconic performance at Dodger Stadium on October 25, 1975. I've forgotten when and where the rest were, but Sir Elton never failed to entertain.

He's older than my Dad.

Pfff, kids. My dad was born in March of 1913; he was older than some of my friends' Grandparents.

Before "plain paper" fax, fax machines had rolls of "thermal fax" paper. That was back in the dinosaur days when the number one show on American television was about a bunch of people hanging out in a bar.

This band was hot back then.

They're still touring, albeit as senior citizens, and still wearing Converse.

When you're smoking pipe with vanilla tobacco and passing by middle-aged ladies react very positive, because they surely have Grandpa memories.

"That smells goood!"
