You know you are old when ...

Remembering watching the Green Cross code man, Big daddy and Giant haystack (I wonder if any of our younger forum members have a clue who I'm talking about?)

and these things

I spent a couple of hours a few weeks ago trying to resuscitate my old NES, to no avail. It powers up and the anti piracy chip clearly still works, as it reboots once a second, but won't read a game despite my meticulous cleaning and realigning the pins on the cartridge reader. Sad times.
 
Your driving licence is older than the college students at work.

And you remember life before this

...when your driving licence still has no photograph on it...lovely pink and green.
Oh, and Spangles, Aztec bars and Opal Mints.
 
i play all the old retro game on my raspberry pi. The look on my kids faces crack me up when they ask what im playing
 
My team at work think fax is prehistoric so imagine their amazement to discover that before fax we had the delight of Telex. When I first started work the Telex was referred to in hushed tones, had its own room and only one person was allowed access to it. Happy days!
 
New favourite old tool.
Had to do a lot of house clearance assistance this year, sadly lost three customers in three months, all became good mates.
Must be more careful with the weedkiller.
Anyway, all the tools have been passed on to me.
Including...
A lovely metal tape measure, a quality push button, locking ten foot Lufkin W7210.
Why so special?

Stuff your metric.
Centimetres and millimetres not welcome here.
Feet and inches, or get to the Courtyard Tavern.
 
Things like this make me feel old...


Also when you realise people born in 2000 are legally old enough to drink this year o_O
 
Why the ruddy hell is the song 'swing low sweet undercarriage' spring to mind.

When you start trying to do your best efforts to look younger than your real age as oppose to making yourself look older.

Also when you remember when at school in in public loos you had those horrible grease proof toilet paper that did nothing but to smear your poop all over your bottom.
 
Scrunch it up into a ball, then flatten it out...repeat three times, then wipe your arse.
We got so much more exercise on the old days.
Kids today, haven't got a clue etc...
