The students here have dates of birth in 1994.

I remember good nights out in 1994.

Staying round my 'girlfriend's' halls of residence the other night made me feel old, when the fire alarm went off at 1am and we all had to evacuate... made me feel very out of place like I shouldn't be there.

i love going to the pub, but i prefer spending all day on a sunday in the pub, rather than going out on a saturday night.

A leo on a sunday has always been my favourite session of the week

Though I feel old when I recall that used to have to involve a lock in at the local because pubs shut between 2.30 and 7 on a sunday. In fact, formative drinking years when pubs used to have lunchtime and evening licencing hours before this open all day mullarkey kicked in seems a distant memory

[llcoolphil]

3 wasn't it? Maybe they just couldn't wait to get rid of you.

[rabid]

Not on a sunday. 12 - 2 and 7 - 10.30 (I allowed for chucking out time) on a sunday, 12 -3 and 6- 11 mon to sat. Wales were well shit for opening on a sunday mind, especially as you got farther west. And I despise anyone who used to ask 'Is it sunday hours cos it's a bank holiday?'. No, it f**kin isn't.

So f*ck off whoever gave him a +1

Well your best putting your clothes on before you leave the building then.

[rabid]

Nah, I had some clothes on - my BallBra.

The cup will hold your big balls in place and you also can have your penis out of the cup or stay in the cup with your balls.

[brighteyes]

The important question is which look did you opt for?

My best night out ever was in 1976.

bed pants?

At the moment it is the horrible realisation that I am not just old compared to teenagers now - I am old compared to 25 & 30 year olds! I look at proper grown women who I really still think are my peers - and realise they are seeing me as someone a generation older. That is actually quite weird.

A serious realisation that I just totally wasn't on the same page as I thought I was came when it was my birthday, and our apprentice at work (who was 22) asked how old I was. I said "Oh - frighteningly ancient" - so she asked me again, and I told her I was 45. Her response? "Oh that's not old! That's only a year older than my mum!"

I think only people in my age bracket and older can understand how gutting that was - it wasn't that I was older than her mum, it was that it never occurred to her that I wouldn't be pleased or flattered by only being a year older than her mum!

Mostly I am really happy with myself regardless of age because I still have a life that many half my age have given up on, but it's those moments when you realise that your outside doesn't match your inside - hmmmm.
