Wearing cardigans

skins


i do all of these things.

also, i also have afternoon tea at a set time.
sometimes i wear a tie around the house.
i have just returned from the post office and was talking to someone in the queue as well.


i do all of those things

the cup of tea my dad brought me in bed today was SOOOOO lovely. it was really fragrant and tea-y


thats not age

you're just a square. Do you want to borrow my Ting Tings CDs?


Worrying about "catching a chill"

Say things are "rare" as in "oh it's rare good that"
thinking that cloud will "burn off"
Complain about everyone because I hate them all.


Haha

any conversation about how hot or cold you are is instant old-person vibes. Especially when you walk out the door to see if you'll need a coat or not.


I do that :(


i'm worried

i did that this very morning...


Losing my temper at Pro biotic yoghurt adverts

Losing my temper at male anti ageing cream adverts.

Losing my temper at cars turning into robot adverts.


And then your partner telling you to calm down?

Nothing's hotter in a relationship than realising you sound like a pair of 70 year olds.


Exactly.

She tells me to chillax and I end up smashing our baby in the face.


Ah, I fucking hate those pro biotic adverts!

"I make every female in the family drink them.."
SEXIST


YES!

I have a shitty digestive system as well thank you very much!


bands

whose members are younger than me


telling off the kids

playing football in front of my flat.


My free bus pass.

Playing bingo.


admiring hanging baskets

having a 'funny' hip


my face staring back into me in the mirror

the fact that I was born in the 70s


Not being able to stand up or sit down

without going "Oof!"


Beat me to it. and "Oof"...

is probably more accurate than my "EeaAhhhhh..."


going to Reading Festival

- looking at the pop charts or watching the mtv2 chart
- making involuntary groaing noises when i sit down or stand up


Oh man

watching the Glastonbury stuff on BBC made me feel really old, and I bet Reading would be even worse.


i was thinking t'other day

that maybe with Metallica and Rage at Reading this year, the crowd may be a little older than usual.

Wishfull thinking probably.

do many young'uns like those bands these days?


Apparently

they all like this band called Mindless Self-Indulgence that I know absolutely nothing about.


When watching films...

...and there's the parent telling the teenager how he/she is too young to do adult things and the fact that I now agree with the authority figure. Yes teenagers ARE too young.


Skinny jeans

Multi-coloured Nu rave hoodies
Emo
Skins
Being older than a lot of policemen


Older than Policemen...

Oh God, that's my next step. *shudders*


Letting out a satisfied "EeaAhhhhh..."

kind of noise when sitting down.

Letting out an uncomfortable "Eaarrrrgh" kind of noise when bending over (steady).


Seeing a mobile phone

and briefly doing a little jump at the thought that it must be some sort of alien machina brought here from space, but then realising no: it really is just a portable telecommunications devise.

Describing non-horsedrawn transport as ¨unholy¨.


I was looking at photographs on a mate's Facebook and it was of a party she had

All I kept thinking was how young they all were and what would their parents think if they saw them behave like that.
OLD!


Crying when you see a clock

because it reminds you of how fast time is slipping away, and how you´re wasting your life.

Sitting outside URBIS on a Saturday.


Afterskool


READING

FESTIVAL


waking up really early

getting my trolley, and standing in line outside the post office. before it opens.


young children

the bastards!


not getting excited

about being up late.


nothing

i'm young


having a spoonful of honey in my coffee

putting a tartan blanket over just my legs.
TV/dinner trays.
combining both of the above.


me going up north

and meeting up with old friends who are either engaged, have a kid, or both


none of your friends have had children in wedlock

the bunch of immoral bastards.


haha

yeah there fuck all to do except fuck up here. We need a millenium dome badly!


fucking

LOL


needing viagra

hip giving me jip
looking at a 16 year old girl and thinking 'yeah, she's hott' then realising im 5 years older than her.


general bones/body problems

always make me feel old (not that i'm like OMGZ I'M ALMOST 20 IT@S OVER or anything but oldER yknow?!)

turning onto BBC Points West went i'm anywhere but Wiltshire

getting annoyed at the Match Of The Day 2 team or the MOTD team if they field their B-team, i once saw a man who looked very much like Karl Pilkington reading the autobiography of that dough-face presenter of Match Of The Day 2, it just made me think how Very boring his own life must be that That is his escapism, to read about another mans daily travels across the UK to fuel a 30 second montage to be used at 12:30am on the program.

the last thing that makes me feel older is getting lost in rants about tv faces.

*sigh*


talking to people

who are 2/3 years younger than me always gets me down and realising I can't conncect with these people or they're acting childish around me, and then me acting childish when they're ready to stop acting childish.

How many times have I said 'acting childish' there?....Oh! 3


Realising that one of my favourite

love songs is by Andy White called 'The Whole Love Story. I used to dayfream with it. It came out in 1989. 19 YEARS AGO.
No. It cannot be.


dayfream =

daydream


excellent use of

a shipping forecast in that song by the way.
Shit I'm SO old.


When you smell fusty

or remember Twin Tub Washers/Mangles/wash day.
