You remember a 17 year old Ryan Giggs being introduced by Martin Tyler, as a youngster with a big future. : (

Stig

When your son does a dub step version of Effervescing Elephant and you wonder whether or not Syd would be spinning in his grave.

When you can remember that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made films together. I can already hear someone saying " who the hell is Jerry Lewis ".

Bexley Dan

Watching the Alex Higgins tribute programme last night and actually siding a bit more with Steve Davis than the hurricane.

I think that was a real eye-opener for my sons, who up to that point thought Ronnie O'Sullivan was the original bad boy of snooker.

Off_it

When you give your son some old Charlton programmes to read and he then asks you a question about "back in the olden days".

The programme was from 2001.

When you remember when children were expected to give up their seats on bus/train/tubes so adults can sit down.

These days the parents of a 7 year old expect the seat to be given to the child.

I know I've already said it but you've just inspired me to bring it up again...... Parent and child parking spaces in car parks - SO BLOODY PATHETIC!!!!!!

Either don't take your kid shopping (why would you?) or just bloody park normally like the rest of us!

Putting all the spare screws, nails, useful bits of copper piping ( that'll come in handy one day), picture hooks etc etc into some sort of order in your tool box because, you know, it's good to keep things tidy isn't it. And then being PROUD of it when you know that you know exactly where to find that useful bit of copper piping.
And thinking that,actually, buying a caravan might be a good idea.

March51

You accidentally drop a plastic bag with a bit of shopping in it and as you start bending down to pick it up two strangers, one of whom looks older than yourself, appear and both say 'Let me help you with that'.
