When the TripleM call starts to wear on you after a while and you occasionally switch to ABC for some more in depth analysis.

Really? You need to be old for that? I wiuld have thought just being anywhere within a bull's roar of sanity would suffice.
Using phrases liike "bull's roar" means you are old.

For some reason I remember my old man telling me he was watching the footy. Apparently it would've been either Kangas - Pies at the 'G or, a signal of the times, Essendon playing a home game at Optus Oval against the Crows. According to him, it kept scrolling along the bottom of the screen and quickly cut to the news. The commentators kept talking about it all game.


I can't really believe this. I always have a terrible hangover if I decide to head to the smokers' to chase strange and that horrible furriness on my teeth. It just seems insane at a club and still a bit odd at the pub. Great move, though

North and Collingwood were playing at the G that day, i was playing in the little league and vividly remember stopping and watching the announcement at half time.

When.... you can't believe you made it to the age you're currently at.

 

[A Bit High]

When your wife buys you a ear and nose trimmer and your not offended. In fact you are thankful

 

[JUBJUB]

When someone asks you how old you are and you can't remember straight off the top of your head

Nose trimmer here bought on the agreement she trims my nose hairs for me. Bugger slicing the inside of my up cause I can't see properly!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

When the music you listened to in early primary school (1997-'98 prep and grade 1 respectively) are popping up on Gold 104.3.

You're just a pup and don't qualify for this thread then

That's me. Start with "OK, it's 2014 now, so that makes me..."

Haha. Shut up! That was my high school graduation year

Ten years after mine.

Your kids call your jokes 'dad jokes'.

The 'young' (30ish) girls at work call your jokes 'dad jokes'

Did they keep playing Green Days 'Time of Your Life' like every other high school graduation on Earth in '97?

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Just on "Green Day", you know you're old when the music you could only just get a handle on before giving up trying to understand yoof kulcha is turning up on classic radio stations or is supermarket music; and everything you think of as new is older than some of your work colleagues.

 

[The Coup]

I'm 31, there's not much new stuff coming out that I can't get a handle on. I mean, Brian Jonestown Massacre are just getting big now, they started making records when I was about 8.

hiphop is the weirdest, the last two years has been the best two years in hiphop i can remember. Yet the mainstream stuff is dreadful to the point of being unrecognisable.

I always associate that song with Seinfeld anyway.

31. You're not old. Get off our thread (and lawn) you kids.

 

[The Coup]

I'm old enough to know I'm not young anymore. And that I'm gunna be less intelligent the older I get.

Is that even possible ?

 

[The Coup]

Is that even possible ?

I wouldn't have thought so 5 years ago, but now I know its a certainty. Its actually enjoyable strangely.

 

[EdgeOfReason]

you turn on the telly and think to yourself "Hmmm, Mrs Slocombe..."

Mr Lucas was more my style.

You remember 10 of your team's 12 Premierships :-D

 

[RedmanWasHere]

For those who live in outer eastern Melbourne, remember when Dymocks was on the ground floor near the travellators opposite Woolies?

Also, you know you're getting old when the following year's preppies were born when you were in Year 12.
