Last year sometime i'm delivering parcels and i go into a shop with a large consignment and get a right hot little fillie to give me a hand

 

I recognise her from her going out with a mate of a mate who is occassionally in my company in the pub

 

I just cannot keep my eyes off her sweet can as we carry said boxes into her premises of work

 

Get her siganture and walk back to my van,get in and take a look at my sheets to garmner what her name is.....5 seconds later i realise exactly who she is and that i use to babysit her whilst i was still at school

 

 

Job done!

My mate had to start buying different papers !

 

When the girl In the paper was younger than his daughter, suddenly looking at page three started to feel wrong, on so many levels !

Get yourself up to the Manique (Storm) in Falkirk next Saturday.You will be one of the youngest there.:10900:

 

Haha as a Bo'ness boy originally I've been in Storm loads of times back in the day, however the last day was probably circa 2003.

 

It's funny though, as you get older the number of nightclubs it is acceptable to attend reduces. There aren't too many choices in the centre of Glasgow for someone in their mid to late 20's, so it tends to be the Buff Club for me these days on my increasingly rare 'clubbing' forays. When I live in the South Side I was a Shed regular.

Had a moment on Friday night in Glasgow, where myself and my mate, 27 years and 28 years old respectively, decided it would be a good idea to go to the Garage nightclub. Only to realise whilst standing in the queue that we were around 10 years older than most other people around us.

 

At least! :P

When you read the Edinburgh's Beautiful thread and all the places you knew have been pulled down, when I became closer to the Castles age than some of the people on JKB. When I offered on my drivers licence to donate my organs, and the guy said nobody is going to be hurt that bad that they would need those.

Going to Indigo and realising that the usual clientele had been replaced by their younger brothers and sisters. Depressing.

In no particular order;

 

Looking at the Top Ten, and realising you have no idea who any of the singers/groups are, or what the songs sound like.

 

Realising that you work beside people who were not even born when you first started work.

 

Having a complete stranger start talking to you in the street / pub / supermarket, only to realise that you're a friend of their parents, and you thought they were about 12, not 22.

 

Remembering a song / a film / an incident / a game from a year or two back, only to discover it was eight or nine years ago.

 

Realising that a round of drinks now costs more than a night out used to.

 

Actually enjoying a night in on your own.

 

Wondering why you still have a comb.

 

Bumping into your friends "kids" in the pub.

 

The thread on the number of Hearts games you'd been to, and realising that you were one of only a few old enough to have been at over 1,000.

 

Listening to young kids discussing computers, and realising that they could be talking Hebrew, for all the sense it made.

 

Wistfully remembering shops / pubs / buildings that no longer exist, or green areas that are now built on.

 

.......and so many other things.

 

I think I'll head off to bed now, and cry myself to sleep. :nah:

 

Sums it up perfectly for me Gasman !

When my trouser size went to 32...

I had 2 reminders this week:

 

- Watching Rain Man on ITV4 & texting my mate about how we took these 2 lassies to go see it in the cinema then realised it was 21 fekn years go.

 

but worse than that:

 

- Watching Hancock with my 7 year old twin boys last week. One of the logos for one of the production companies is an lp going onto a record player & the needle dropping on it. One of my kids said "What the hell is that?!?!" the other replied "That's what they played music with in the olden days"......

Brian Whittaker's Tache

Several incidents spring to mind for me.

 

First was a few years ago when I was out on a Sunday afternoon with my old man in the car and I was fiddling with the radio and came across the Top 40 on Radio 1 and being in agreement with my dad that the charts were pish! (There was always arguments about listening to this when I was a kid)

 

Second was getting a taxi back home one baltic night and seeing two tidy birds with short skirts waiting to cross the road on Princes Street and thinking "they'll catch their death dressed like that"

 

Third was seeing Morrissey at The Point in Dublin a couple of years ago and realising some of the kids in the audience weren't even born when I saw Morrissey the first time in the Caley Palais (in 1984)

 

Forth was chatting to my next door neighbours daughter (19 and well tidy) a few months ago and talking about plans for the weekend and I said I was going to see De La Soul and she said "who?"
