    When you hear things that last happened 30+ years ago (st mirren winning against Celtic) and instinctively think that’s the 70s or early 80s, then someone says naw, that was in the 90s

    When sleeping through the night is a huge achievement that you honestly can't quite believe. Well it happened once last year, not all that hopeful of another one though!

    You have very little joy trying to explain black and white tv existed to a teenager.

    I tried explaining the speaking clock to my teenager a few months ago, he couldn't get his head around it at all

    When you’re telling your 8 year old, Aberdeen supporting step son that they once beat Real Madrid to win a European trophy and he just laughs at you as he’s never heard anything so ridiculous in his short life.

    You stop counting grey hairs and just accept they are there and they aren't going away.

    My daughter asked me the other day WHY I had grey hair. I don't think she believed me when I answered 'because of you'.

    I was watching 'the people's history show' last night. They covered a speed record attempt at loch ness from 1952. 1952 is fine - proper ancient history. Then they covered the Scottish Claymore's world bowl win from 1996! 1996!! I immediately thought of your post when I saw that 🤨

    I'm sure it's happened to most blokes of a certain age, but it really hits you hard when you first start encountering women that you find "fit" and you realise that you were already working in the year that they were born.

    It's even worse when you're closer in age to her granny than her mother.

    But you look at the mother and think "nah, she's too old".

    1996!!!! Both my kids were alive, well and turning my hair grey with their antics at primary school.

    I saw an ad recently for "seniors aged 45 or over". My then 47 year old niece wasn't amused at me forwarding it to her!🤣

    When you describe someone on a TV show as “the old looking one” then look them up and realise they are younger than you.

    When the local charity shop is basically your record collection recreated (although some tosser has added Robbie Williams to it)


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    Or when you fancy somebody on a TV show and realise that the person playing her Mum is the same age as you.



    Oh well, I suppose her Mum is quite attractive as well...
