You know you're old when ....

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

CD?? It's all streamed and downloaded now!

My 16 year old nephew is a mad keen vinyl collector.

.... when you start going to bed before 10:00pm.

I've been a night owl for the majority of my life but recently find myself asleep before 10:00pm.

Thanks JohnK. Seems I'm not old any more by your definition.

While on the topic of LPs, my little nephews visit and ask what my 'cool' drink coasters are. (cut the center circle from a bunch of old LPs leaving the labels on to repurpose them in something useful)

Babies will do that ... you learn to sleep when you can; I found that 25 years ago ...

Is that the bowel cancer testing kit from the government? Got something in the mail last week but that must be related to prior history not age.

From the Government and age related though I can’t recall at what age.

Try fifty years ago..... Anyone who completed military training could be asleep within 10 minutes (and occasionally 2)

I received mine at age 65

I received mine at age 65

Mine was before that though I have no idea which year.

Sleep is not the issue. Studio apartment with a 17 month old is the issue but there's no simple solution to that issue. I'm not moving but so many things I need to do on the internet when I get home and can't as daughter sleeps early.

Yes, Gov mail out for a number of age groups ... I recently triggered the 50 year mark. Nothing to do with history - completely age related.

Mum and I received the kit. Dad and brother did not. All above 50.

 

[JohnM]

It's age-bracketed and it's not a conspiracy. Just do it for your own benefit, John!

 

[debgow]

We got them at 50 and then got them again last year at 53 and 54 years on age
