Time is flying by....

Had an 'I'm feeling old' moment this morning on the drive to work.

Radio 2 were playing 'Respectable' by Mel and Kim from 1987...... that's 30 years ago!!!!. Back in 1987, hearing songs by Elvis like Jailhouse Rock / All shook up - The Everley Brothers 'Wake up Little Susie' etc just seemed ancient and from an era that was prehistoric compared to music in 1987 (Bon Jovi - Livin on a Prayer) (The Bangles - Walk like an Egyptian) - yet these were from 1957 (30 years earlier).

In 30 years time will we be reminiscing about 'Little Mix' 'Bruno Mars' or 'James Arthur'

[Sidney1st]

No I won't be reminiscing about those 3.

I felt old when I watched the recent Oasis film and realised Definitely Maybe was released in 1994.

Dont.

30 years before Orient we had never been champions of england. 30 years later we had still not been promoted to the premier league.

[Guich]

Yes we had

[ablueclaret]

Is Radio 2 still going? oh dear!

[cricketfieldclarets]

Yes we had

My mistake. Ok we had only won it once.

1987 is the year I was born.

I am coming up to my 30th birthday. I feel both glad to have survived my 20's and both miserable at the prospect of ageing.

I guess it comes to us all.

I **** myself about 30. But in the main more content after it. Remind me of this at 39 though

Sarah Cox in for Chris Evans - much prefer Sarah Cox tbh

It certainly does... I met the love of my life in 1989 (can't believe that's 28 years ago ) - unfortunately she dumped me in 96 and I ended up marrying somebody else

Street cred bid

I'm 44 next week. It's strange how some things seem to be like yesterday. I remember us going to war with Iraq in 1991. What it did remind me of, more than anything; was that I worked for that company I worked for at the time a year longer than my memory thought. I thought I left there in 1991, but it must have been 1992!

I go on the 15 year gap.....i was approaching 45 and thought/said 15 years ago i was in my twenties ...and in fifteen years time ill be sixty!!! wtf. That times now passed. mmmm.....thirty years gone in a blink. But i liked to think ive packed most thing in to that time.make the most of everything and enjoy the rain on a bad day,and the sunshine on a good day! And trust me on the sunskreen.

It's a conundrum Tim Noone. Where does time go? In my current job I see a lot of comings and goings. Just handed over keys to a French chap but half an hour ago. Only seems like yesterday that I started. He asked if I had an international adaptor, to which I replied 'Yes of course, the Italian couple who lived here left one'....then I remembered that was over two years ago. I'm buggered if I know where I put it

[cricketfieldclarets]

Time. Biggest fear. But at the same time there to make you make the most of things.

Wasting time is a crime we are all guilty of but know we shouldnt.

Time is only wasted if it's spent doing something you don't want to do, unless it facilitates the things that you do want to do.

I'm dropping the missus off for a night out and it's fish and chips, beer and PlayStation for me tonight. Love a bit of me time.

Your now my age when i started the 15 ago thinking. On a big plus my fifties were some of the best times ever! So you have that to look forward to.then i cocked things up just a tad!!!

[cricketfieldclarets]

I often remember you saying that about 50s. Which makes it easier. A bit. Haha

[boiledclaret]

I'm 48 but could pass as ten years younger. Some people say to me "why not fib and be 38, I would" My response is "no chance"

My earliest memories from childhood are of growing up in a house were 70's rock was eminating out of the speakers and if the radio was on it was stuff like Bowie or the Clash.

No way am I swapping that for Duran Duran and the crappy 80's.
