Johnny Depp has gotten hotter as he's got older.
George is pretty good too - there are some pretty fine 40 year olds on the TV and the movie screens atm. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

You know you are old when one of your FB friends makes a derogotory comment about Bret Michaels and how he's a desperate old man etc and you feel personally affronted for him....cos you still think that even tho he has dodgy hair extensions he's hot....
And you also know you are old when said friend probably only knows him from bad reality tv and she had a bunch of her friends saying who the hell is he? lol But to be fair, I offended a bunch of them when I made some derogatory comment about justine bieber or whatever her name is, lol And you know you are old when you are just as happy with a night in front of the fire than going out..in fact you probably prefer it, ha ha ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

... when you refer to 18 years olds as "kids" and no one bats an eyelid at you when you say it.
...when family members turn 21 and you remember what you were doing when you got the news they had been born. -------------

my 29 year old husband knew who justin bieber was before me (22)
Johnny depp is definately getting better with age, you can keep George Clooney though 
Steps, Billie, Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys and 5ive are all flashbacks for me to intermediate... Highschool is Shaggy, TLC, Crazytown and Korn |

You know you're old when your nephew says 'i found out my teacher is 24 today, that's sooooo old'
You know you're old when you've dialled a rotary phone and you can remember when phone numbers were only 5 numbers long....(our was 67886). You know you're old when you see all the youngans out on the town in skimpy singlets and skirts and you're wrapped up in three layers of thermals, winter coat, beanie and scarf. YOu know you're old when you start sounding like your own mother when listening to ZM and saying 'this music is horrible' and quickly turn to classic hits. Sigh.......................I'm so old. -------------

I had ALL the NKOTB videos
Ok I keep thinking of these......it's getting quite depressing now....... You know you're old when Billy Ray Cyrus (who I idolised) now has a teenage daughter. And when you thought all the All Blacks were really old and now you're at least 5 years older than the average age of all the players.  -------------

OMG yes! I clearly remember the day I was at the cricket and was watching 'the teenaged next big thing' Daniel Vettori getting ready to bat (and picking his nose!)... he's now the damn captain and there's talk of his retirement in the next year or so!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I remember back in the day making mix tapes from my tape player, running to press the record button when my fave songs came lol
I love NKOTB, they were awesome! Also, instead of turning the volume up loud when watching TV or a movie, I'm complaining to DH to turn it down because it hurts my ears. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i remember mixed tapes! i would sit by the radio all night waiting for the songs i want to come on..
i know that i am 'old' because my idea of a good Friday night is snuggling up inside watching a movie rather than clubbing and getting drunk - and i am only 23! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Well, when no kids these days even know what a tape is, it makes me feel pretty old!!!! Certainly no ipods or mp3 players around then, Mix Tapes are definitely a thing of the past! I just read something that is oh so true - You know you're getting old when you feel bad in the morning without having had any fun the night before. Ain't that the truth! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| You know your old when you can remember dancing around the lounge to Madonna, Michael Jackson and Dire Straits LP's with the cover in your hands because you were singing all the lyrics - and these were when the above artists were new on the scene. And you know you old when you thought only the kids liked NKOTB! |

I'm 24 and Johnny Depp is my #1 Celebrity rush. Bret Michaels would be in my Top 10. I LOVE Guns n Roses and also remember mix tapes lol. I used to idolise Ace of Base when I was at primary school. Oh and remember that song 'Lemon Tree'? Mwahaha you wont be able to get it out of your head now! -------------
