I agree with you, but I'm not convinced it's always an age thing. I think they tend to use a very loose definition of 'celebrity'.IdleHans said:Celebrity versions of things on telly, eg Pointless. I tend not to realise they are celebrity versions, and once it's pointed out to me I spend the rest of the programme asking "who the fuck is that?"3 -

Not direct to the thread title, more a case of my health at a mere 58.
Doing nothing but lounging around for the past 48 hours, which is alien to me.
My cardiologist said "listen to your body". One of THE best bits of advice I have been given.0 -

Our children (41 and 39) going up in the loft and searching through some old toys and record and finding a record of button moon theme tune, and playing it to the grand kids. Then finding the same record is being sold for £20 on eBay. Then they found tapes for games for a zinclair ZX computer and the actual computer still boxed and the subsequent discussions about the Christmases past and the fun we had when they where growing up.9

One of the girls at work is spending the weekend at Centre Parks in Elveden Forest and I said I went there in the early 90s. She replied that was before I was born.6

Watching an article on The One Show where they were asking members of the public if they could go back in time and see an act/gig, who would it be and saying “I’ve seen them” to my wife for a lot of them (Eric Clapton, Live Aid, Queen, Bowie & Prince)2

Having to explain to the question “Are you getting another puppy?With the answer, “If Bowyer goes full term I’ll be almost 80, it wouldn’t be fair to get another 😥0

Last puppy for us last week even though we have dog-mad kids if we don’t live too long. She’s a lovely girl. We were going to call her Appleton (joke) but Lola was a better choice.

Feeling the need to have an adult chat with the lad about being safe in his sexual relationships, last thing you need son is to get your girlfriend pregnant, or for things to go too far, she regrets it and calls foul on you.
All knowing that my Dad wouldnt have had to have that conversation with me as although my mum may have been sexually active at 14, we were both a few years later (not for the want of trying).
Then catching up with dad who has just sold the caravan he bought of my mums current partner for £500, ised for 4 years and sold for £1,000 because they cant push it around anymore or afford an auto mover.
Dad said, its so different from when i grew up, and even probably from when you grew up. Im so glad I'm old now. Must be terribly hard being young.Literally never felt older.2 - Sponsored links:

If there hasn’t been a story about them in the News of the World then they’re not ‘celebrities’ in my book…1 -

Bloke in my department at my bank just taken VR - 47 years service - I’m now longest serving member of staff at 37 years service - 3 new joiners last few months - I was in my early, mid and late 20’s when they were born - team meeting this week, chatting with them, fucking hell I felt old - but I’m 54 in June, and I think I still look pretty sound - but being around people in their 20’s, my children aside, is a challenge
Got talking with one of them - he likes cars - as do I - but when he looked bemused when I talked about cars having a choke back in the day 🤦🏻4 -
It’s more of a challenge for those 20 year olds than it is for you.Lordflashheart said:Bloke in my department at my bank just taken VR - 47 years service - I’m now longest serving member of staff at 37 years service - 3 new joiners last few months - I was in my early, mid and late 20’s when they were born - team meeting this week, chatting with them, fucking hell I felt old - but I’m 54 in June, and I think I still look pretty sound - but being around people in their 20’s, my children aside, is a challenge

The trouble with banks and other financial services firms is that there isn’t enough older gits around to mentor the 20 years to 40 years old people working in them.The resilience and experience you’ve built up is probably something they never will even though they are going to have to work longer.2
