When a person I worked with was asking my advice about holidays and weekend breaks and what I liked. She then told me she was planning a surprise weekend away for her parents. I then realised she was asking me because I was the same age as her mum!!

The fact that I've got a lurker of a virus ( not covid ) I'm going into week 4 of feeling shite and my OH has bought me out for a drive for some fresh air . . 
The "What are you listening to?" thread. I love following it but it makes me feel so old and out of touch. The last time I "got into" new music was around 2008/9 before my life became all about kids and mortgages 
When I look at my CD collection and realise that a fair proportion of them are 1980s Hits Collections.
In fact when I look at my CD collection and realise that I even have a CD collection

The brits 
When I was 29 I had a 23 year old tell me she ‘hoped she looked like me at my age’ ..... 
Was just about to post the same! I switched off as I don’t know who anyone isThe brits
“Dad, did they not have Netflix in the old times?”
My students being gobsmacked that I was alive at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. 
I’m old, but if my husband says “who??” one more time I’m leaving the house!The brits
The only person he’s heard of is Elton John and he can’t stand him!
At least you weren't there for the building.....My students being gobsmacked that I was alive at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Hahah that reminds me of when I last went on a night out before lockdown so would have been 31, a boy of 18 asked me what was my secret to looking so young and that I looked good for my age! Ffs 31 is still young, do kids think we should all be wrinkly and grey by that age?!When I was 29 I had a 23 year old tell me she ‘hoped she looked like me at my age’ .....
Yep, The Brits and not knowing who TF most people are.
Playing Among Us with my 12yo stepdaughter and someone said “GG” and I said “aah she’s got to go now”. To be eye rolled at and told “no, that means good game”.

watching the brits lol
Came to say The Brits, but I see I'm not the only one
Oh for the heady days of Blur v Oasis and Jarvis v Jacko. Last night, the only attendees I could safely name two songs by were Elton and Boy George

They used to nickname the Nme awards The Brats in the good old mid ninetiesNever had The Brits in my day.
See, music I can cope with, although I do think when I'm driving round in my car (which is just such a 'Mum' car, and not cool in any way) playing Headie One or Dave, I must look like what we used to refer to in our youth as a LCT (Last Chance Trendy) - the people desperately trying to cling onto their youth in some way
My youngest child is now in their 20s, no longer a teenager. That makes me feel old! And this, plus my impending 50th birthday next year is provoking an existential crisis. Like when they talk about completing HS2 in 20 years, I'll be long retired by then
Or that 2048 is closer than 1994... I'll be 76 in 2048. Properly old. Yet 1994 doesn't even feel that long ago, I still have clothes I was wearing then!
Also, half the people there are threads about on here I've never heard of. And even the ones I have heard of and whose threads I am often on (like Stacy Solomon and Hinch) are both young enough that I could be their mum. That gets me every time!
