I'd wait till you're my age before you start worrying about getting old. So you've got 25 years to play with.
I echo all the above BTW, especially music. Hearing a rapper makes me want to kill someone. Really.

offlineMemberI had a similar experience to Shitsu recently.
I was in my car travelling down the A1 at 56mph (to save fuel and help the polar bears). I was using a cushion as a lumber support for my back and listening to a frankly fascinating documentary on Radio 4 about Secretary Generals of the Soviet Union.
I wondered if I would ever notice the advance of middle age. I decided no, pulled my own finger, farted and giggled loudly.

You remember East Germany.
You dance to songs of your youth and are convinced they have made the songs longer - at a recent 40th birthday party, I was sure they played an extended remix of One Step Beyond as I was reaching for the oxygen about 90 seconds in. It wasn't!
You love to reminise...

offlineMemberlook I'm sure it was Petula Clarke and Cliff Michelmore in the Mars Bar scandal. And remember that brand of paint, Matt Munroe? He was related to Marylin Monroe, and was responsible for the Munrow Doctrine. And who remembers Housewife's Choice? I remember exactly what that choice was, not to everyone's taste, certainly. Did anyone mention Harry Belafonte?

offlineMemberI don' know about you shitsu, but I'm feeling much better about my age now.
In comparison to most of these comments, I'm a positive youngster.

Shall I be really irritating and mention that I'm in my 20s? No?

The bus might come off worse at the moment, diet isn't going so well

I was the:3,756,824,806thBut I bet I wasn't. Nowhere did they ask at what time I was born, and as it was mid afternoon, there's a whole morning of babies before me.

Given that mobile phone subscribtions are already at 5 billion and there are over 1 billion PCs in the world (2 billion by 2015), plus all the other computers in cars and home appliences, it's certain that we have already created far more micro-processors on the planet than people.
