You know you're old when:

You know you are old when typing was for girls and computers were for geeks.

Lol, I remember in high school (late 80's) that they were still teaching typing to girls only, as they were expected to go into secretarial work.

Oh fuggit I forget now.

I'd like to buy two houses. A morning house, and an afternoon house. On a hill. With a school in between. Then I could make my children walk up hill to get to school, then uphill to get home. I'd then pick them up on the way home from work from the afternoon home and take them back to the morning home.

AND ... they knew your parents ... AND where you lived ...

I grew up between the then trentham police college, the army base and a prison - all with their own community housing - a clip round the ear was never far away.

You notice the players in your favourite team were all born when you were at high school. Tends to be the same time the flickering candle of hope that you'll one day be an All Black is finally extinguished.

The Man from UNCLE!!

What's the oldest TV show you remember?

For me I think it is The Black and White Minstral Show - try broadcasting THAT show in todays namby-pamby PC world...

Whenyou're old you don't have to drink - just stand up quickly to get the same effect

WRT to TV - my parents were late holdouts so our TV fix was going to the "television lounge" provided by the local department store, 6pm till 9pm on a friday night. "Sea Hunt" with Lloyd Bridges was one I recall seeing.
When the Pye 26" finally arrived at our house I was able to converse knowlegeably with my peers at school about such gems as "The Munsters" and "Rin Tin Tin".

[Mom]

you remember your phone number having 5 digits

Mine was one short ring and two long - I think S was the identifier.

When you had to cycle down to the local takeaway store to play spaceinvaders for entertainment.

I once sacked a lad for not coming back from smoko/lunch/smoko he was distracted by Space Invaders

... when rubbers were only for pencils not penises.

I sort of re-call them being reffered to as Joes?

You still think the Raleigh Chopper is the shit.

I am still traumatised I NEVER had one.

All the doctors you see in hospital are the same age as your children

We never had TV when I was growing up. It became a real treat as I reached my teens. Black and white. A couple of shows I remember watching. Coronation Street and *MASH on a Friday night.

[marty]

being gay was just being happy.

there were only 4 channel buttons on the tv - and 2 of them were just snow.

it was a real treat to watch the goodnight kiwi

video machines were top loading.

Casey Kasem's American Top 40 was on Tuesday night - waiting with tape deck in front of the radio to record the songs I liked to play in dad's Mk3 Zephyr

Close to Home was on. And Radio With Pictures with Karyn Hay was really weird

[Daffyd]

Mine was one short ring and two long - I think S was the identifier.

More likely to be D. 1 long and 2 shorts; S was 3 shorts; M 2 longs.

These were the 3 most used.

1 short and 2 long was W. There would have been an awful lot of parties on the line.

You know you're getting old when the floor keeps getting farther away when you want to pick something up!

[Hawkeye]

You know what a Commodore 64 with tape drive was. Or an Amiga 500, Amstrad, or Atari

Oh shit! I've had every one of them

You know your old when you used to watch MASH (The first time around).

[Mom]

You were tuned into the Pirates on a transistor after lights out while it was sinking. Never forget that.

Attending free concerts in Albert Park in the city, taking advantage of passive smoke Oh and being left alone by the cops
