You know you're getting old....when you have to bend down to pick something up and then look around for other things to pick up whilst you're down there!
the time u first went to pubs/nightclubs and some of your younger cousins were just in first class in junior school, now they are starting out going to pubs/nightclubs and I sometimes even bump into them when im out with my own friends, now that does make me feel old
Today's "yoof" are banal, pedestrian, sheep herd following, void of communication and any sense of individuality. I know that I am old because most young people make me want to slam my head against a brick wall. Any attempt to engage a "yoof" will be met with a string of incomprehensible mutters and a view of their scalp as they gaze full zombie mode into their phone, which is a lot smarter than they appear to be.
When someone mentions 'retro moblie phones', a retro phone for me was in a red box on a street corner, I remember the first time I answered a telephone at the age of 12, got my first mobile at age 35, sometimes I do wonder quite how we lived without them, once you disappeared around the street corner you were effectively out if touch, now you can be in touch with someone on the other side of the world in an instant via a text message.
Comfort over fashion is my fashion lol maybe there's something wrong with me(?) but ive never wanted to wear anything that feels uncomfortable. I've always worn casual, comfy clothes. Never wear heels but thats partly because my balance has always been slightly wonky since I was a child. T shirts,hoodies, jeans and trainers are about all I ever wear when im home, with cropped shorts in the summer.
