When the footballers you remember watching when you were growing up retire and now, their children are playing. Just how is someone born in 2003 an adult? (Or almost 18)

My eldest is 23 this year and has always been very into football - he's been saying for the last couple of years that it makes him feel old when players for his club or England are younger than him!

My husband came home from work yesterday and said one of the ‘young people’ couldn’t believe they went to the same college as she didn’t realise the college was that old. He’s 31!

I read a music fact yesterday: The guy who does the harmonica on Karma Chameleon is the same guy who does the harmonica solo on Spice Girls Say You'll Be There. Those songs were released 13 years apart (which would've seemed a lot to me at the time), then I realised its now been 25 years since Say You'll Be There came out

If I close my eyes I can still see myself queuing up outside my form room for registration like it was yesterday, talking about the Spice Girls being on GMTV that morning

I was 10, almost 11. I remember wearing one of those silly 2000 headbands to see in the millennium. Feels like only yesterday!

One I've just remembered ... when Daniel Craig was named as James Bond. For the first time in my life, James Bond was younger than me

The fact that teens doing their driving tests at the moment were born in 2004! I mean, what the hell? Haha.

I was checking to see if someone else mentioned the Brits before I commented! God I remember it was always around Feb half term. Take That on the 1994 one was phwoar, 2000 broke the mould if I remember and had it on a Saturday with Geri emerging from a massive pair of legs don’t know who any of these new acts are.
Music in general makes me feel old when I realise young people have never seen Top of the Pops, CDUK or a Smash Hits poll winners party

Or the lack of clothes shops on the high st especially when you hear young ones saying ‘I ordered a new outfit’ as opposed to ‘I went shopping’. God I loved being 18 and spending 5 hrs in Topshop, Miss Selfridge, lamenting being too broke and too skinny for Oasis then traipsing to Bay Trading for a night out outfit

And how you used to be able to switch between predictive and non-predictive.

Also, did there used to be questionable content you could download to your phone from the backs of those magazines, too?!

I remember listening to The Stereophonics ‘Local boy in a photograph’ and the line ‘you’ll always be 23’ and thinking 23 was old.
