I am only 26, and when I thing about things like that I feel old. I saw Lethal Weapon way back in 89, one of the first movies I watch after the RAF base I was living on in Gibraltar, got Sky. I can’t believe that it been 21 years since I moved out there.

^ You two are much older than me, but' I fell like a 80 year old sometimes, like when telling kid's to get a hair cut you stupid hippies.

I guess I was old before my time was due, at 6 I started to like busnises papers, watching bbc parliment and news 24.

Of cousre I'm bit different now.

Nothing is guaranteed to make someone feel older than someone saying they weren't born when the film you were talking about came out.

In my later years of college, we put the dividing line of young/old to be if you were born before or after Star Wars. I'm glad to say I saw Star Wars in the theater when I was three years old!

Not everything is bad.

Back in your day, you could buy a gas guzzling hot rod or muscle car and pay $1/gallon.

Today, even compact cars are closer to $30,000 and I just paid $3.59/gallon for regular.
