You know you're old when ....

[TheRealTMA]

when a young someone says out loud "Wow, did you know Julian Lennon's dad used to be in a Band?"

Bah! Young people have never heard of Julian Lennon (nor his dad).

When you celebrate your 44th wedding anniversary. I went down to a florist in Victoria Park and all my old clients in retail stores along Albany Highway are now gone. Only the pubs have survived the 34 years since I left practicing as an accountant in that suburb. Of course the accounting office is still running with new younger partners.

I used to work for a Company that had a Plywood Factory at Victoria Park. When we visited WA last year for the AFF do I noticed that site is now all blocks of flats !!!

Major our warehouses have lots of Wesfi particle board as the base for our pallet racking. In the last decade we lost the pine pallet manufacturer too.
I have been to 2 50 year school re-unions as I switched high schools for year 11 and year 12.
I remember my dad running out of petrol when I was heading to my year 12 final exam for Maths A. I grabbed my bag and ran to school.

A couple of years ago, we were in Seattle, next to the Jimi Hendrix statue and a couple of girls walked passed as hubby was having his photo with it (hes a big Hendrix fan, which is why we went to Seattle).

Girl: Who's that? (the statue).
Girl: I think its Bob Dylan.
Husband: I dont blame them, I blame their parents. Their parents failed them.

I had to explain to the 20-somethings just last week that Julian was John Lennon's kid

I was under the impression the only things in Seattle were Christian Grey and the Boeing factory.....unless you are Sleepless....

Burial place of Jimi Henrix, Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee.

On arrival at LAX, the friendly immigration man wouldnt let us through until we got the Lee part correct - he seemed a bit of a Lee/martial art fan. Bruce Lee's first martial art studio was in Seattle and still there ( immigration guy told us).

Young people would probably not be gruntled by that answer.

Depends on how many rums you've had

When you're heading to the airport and kicking yourself that you are in 6D and didn't have time to try and improve to row 4 at T-80 hours.

Then you check-in at business class lounge and look for 6D on boarding pass and see 4C instead. I don't remember changing the seat. It's quite scary but these little things have been happening quite frequently recently. Hope it's not a sign of things to come.

But they might feel dissed.

You know your old when ...... young people start paying $60 each for a vinyl record - in preference to a CD !!

 

[trooper]

When you are listening to a (good) cover version of an older song...... and a young person says.."Thats really good"..You answer "Yes, its nearly as good as the original"...and they look at you and say "The original???"

Not me. My son makes a living selling them, and record players such as I thought I would never see in my lifetime again.

I still have a nice cache of LP's, some have been a bit "used" but anyway…
Ripping them all to digital is one of those jobs that needs to be done but…...
Bro in law had a magnificent collection but his wife dumped the lot….
