You know you are getting old when someone says to you "I'm having a retro party. What did they do in the 80's for fun?"


You know you're getting old when ......  the grandchildren come with notebooks to write down your memories for a school project they're doing on Victorian times! :'(

You Know You're Getting Old When... films like "Dirty Dancing" are labelled classics.

When they announce that it was 40 years ago that Radio 1 was launched, and it only seems like yesterday. :-(

I've had a mobile phone for the last 16 years. Whenever I get upgraded, No. 1 grandchild sets it up for me. Mind you, she has no idea how to sew a button on!

Why would you want to sew a button on your mobile phone?  ???

You're just not up with the modern trends, are you? You've just proved how old you are!  ;D

You know your getting old when you agree to a five mile sponsored walk.
I don't think I can do it.
Let you know how I get on.
Taking money off Mince will spur me on. ;D ;D ;D

Next year will see 30 years of Beau Peep. Oh, Lord. And I've just realised that, if you add up all the comic strips I've written, you'd end up with nearly 60 years worth. Oh, Lordie Lord.

Don't let it get you down, Roger. They weren't all bad.

Another thing that makes me feel old, is turning in at night with my bird, chatting to her about how great England's World Cup win was in 1966, seeing that she's rapidly fallen asleep, then realising she wasn't even born in 1966...
