You know you're old when you go for a haircut and the barber/hairdresser asks if you'd like him/her to do your eyebrows.

My ear hair grows faster than bamboo these days

You don't have the patience to wait for your C64 to load from tape anymore and look for new solutions.

Nostril hair and ear hair just comes with the territory unfortunately!

I used to think I was old, then I read this thread ...

[MrNeil]

you know you are old when..

You can't react quickly in BF4 like you did with BF3 and BF2 and BF1942 and go on about how good those games were back then !!!!

When you tell younger work colleges that it was harder back in the days and they have it easy !

Spending more time on forum's than you actually play games ..

My boy's start telling me how things work !!

When my belly show's !

YOU JUST REALIZED THAT YOU JUST WROTE THIS EARLIER !!!

When you discuss the Internet in the office and someone doesn't know what a dial up modem is.

When you discuss the Internet in the office and someone doesn't know what a dial up modem is.

oh, thanks for that. Just when I thought I was going to get away with this one...

I still remember the excitement when my frog stopped winking and started blinking....

You know you're old when you grow a beard, only for it to make you look like a badger.

How about when you *ask* them to do your eyebrows, sigh...

You're only old if you start behaving old.
Couple of my friends have actually chosen this route, although it does suit them. One loves having a walking stick, because he's a trained swordsman and it means he's now permanently armed!

By contrast, I love it when work colleages start sentences with, "When you get to my age..." and then find out I'm about a decade older than them!!

You were a hexus forum member before the "great crash of '03"

You know you're old when: You can't remember if you were a member before the great crash!

...it snows and your immediate thought is 'driving to work will be a pain in the arse'

...you finally get to take some holiday and your immediate thought is 'it's going to be a nightmare when I come back and have to answer all of those emails'

...you finally get to the beach, giant waves crashing down, and your immediate thought is 'where the factor 50 and my book?'

...you see a penny on the ground, and your immediate thought is 'I'd better grab that', but when you do, you realise you're not going to be able to get upright again

You know you're old when you rewind movie after watch it.

ps to young google VHS.

I was talking about gaming over Xmas with a group of family and friends and one of the kids (young teenager) asked what an N64 was.
