You know you're old when....

[OverWyreGrower]

1. You go to a huge sell-out rock gig
2. Half the audience are under 16
3. Approximately 90% of the audience will be putting videos on YouTube of the night, and 100% of those videos will be totally unrecogniseable as the band


and....

4. Instead of holding lighters up during those moving songs, everyone holds their phones up with the little lights on

Lol - you're not old - you know what YouTube is!!

What gig was it, out of interest?

N'ah, you're not old as long as you know what YouTube is - it's when you start calling it iTube like a friend of mine did the other day!

I'm going to see Aerosmith in July, does that mean I'm old too?

[OverWyreGrower]

We went to see LostProphets at the MEN in Manchester.... they were great, sadly my enjoyment was spoilt slightly by the several teenager "screamers" who kept screaming "I love you" and "Marry me!" to the lead singer, and crying whenever he vaguely pointed at our section of the crowd

You know you're old when you grunt when you sit down. Those others with dodgy knees will know exactly what I mean!

I used to to travel on the Tube, when I lived in London!
As for waving lighters at concerts - we used to stand at the front near the speakers and shake our heads in time..... Couldn't afford to waste lighters in my day!
Who are Aerosmith?

It's not the sitting down or kneeling down - it's the getting up again that's the problem.

Too true! That and the back ache every single morning for 3 months when youve overdone it at the lottie!

PS Has anyone seen the Ralgex ointment?

I know I'm old because rock festivals suddenly feel like too much hassle but very much looking forward to seeing the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain next month!!!!

[Snadger]

You feel old when the Grandchildren start calling you Grandad and you look at the OH and realise you're going to bed with a Grannie!!!

As Rustylady says, its the grunt and heave when you try to get up that's the problem.

Mind you, having played a much younger person on the stage last year (desperate for some younger members in our am dram group!) , I was asked in one of the choreography rehearsals, to jump up a bit lighter on the chair! Apparently I looked too arthritic for a 30 year old! Some mutterings from the backstage crew too about strengthening the chair, etc. Bloomin cheek!

you are old when it takes all night to do what you used to do all night

you are older still when you cant remember what you used to do
