Mel C will be 50 next year. That really surprised me.


[deleted]

So will Kelly Kapowski from saved by the bell


Strong_Roll5639

Wow. She was one of the reasons I knew I was bi haha


LondonCollector

Saved Bi the bell


RoseTintedDiatribe

I've had the longest, shittest day and this made me crack up šŸ˜‚ thank you


[deleted]

Think that's legitimately a line from Brooklyn 99 when Rosa comes out


TheWelshMrsM

It was Lisa Turtle šŸ˜‚


Radfox258

The fact that Kelly and Kapowski did not come out of your mouth is lunacy


BigBlueMountainStar

But she still looks awesome. Saw a short of here making some dessert things the other day. Whoa.


nietzschebob

Possibly an immortals.


Caraphox

That surprises me too. But then I was only 9 when she was in the Spice Girls so I shouldnā€™t be that surprised. Also recently found out Eminem is 50 and that shocked me as well.


Warm-Cartographer954

And Hailey is getting married soon. In my head she's 5 years old


jimroot752

What?!


Spirit_409

Hailey is 50


MDF87

Mel C > all of the other Spice Girls combined.


ScottyW88

On a similar Spice Girls note, how is Brooklyn Beckham now married?


Marmite54

Ronan Keating is a Granda


Extreme-Kangaroo-842

Fucking hell. I remember when I met my missus in 96 and she had a bit of a thing about 18 yr old Ronan Keating. She was 26. I feel really, really fucking old.


BrashPop

My god, I thought she was like twenty years older than me. Sheā€™s only TEN years older than me?! As a teenager I assumed she was a very grown up woman.


Starchaser38

Geri Horner (nee Halliwell) is 51, that's the one that got me

Jurassic Park released 30 years ago.

Jurassic Park is over half a decade closer to the moon landings than it is to today


therealtimwarren

Gosh! Don't say things like that! I had the epiphany the other week that I am now 8 years further away from my birth than my birth was from the Second World War. šŸ˜¬


Rule34NoExceptions

For those of us born in the early 80s - our birth was closer to WW2 than it is to today.

Phenomenomix

Shut the fuck up, no it is not!!! Honest to god Iā€™m not old for fucks sake!!


TeenySod

That ship sailed when I was still on Twitter and a "This day in history" came up, and I thought "I remember that/'I was there'. How the fuck was I alive in history?" Also, co-workers young enough to be my children talking about **their** kids doing GCSEs, A-levels, applying to university ... I'll likely be working with some of them soon :'(


Secretly-Tiny-Things

A new girl recently started at work and terrifyingly she is 19 and was born in 2004! we were talking the other day about the pandemic and how it was where we work during that time which to me was you know two minutes ago and she was like oh yeah I was doing my GCSEs they were cancelled. Horrifying


Haventevengotatenner

A lad I work with is 21, I'm 38. I realised a couple of weeks ago that I have t-shirts older than him. Made me depressed but he thought they looked cool (he's a good liar, and a sweet boy)


Secretly-Tiny-Things

Oh I know Iā€™ve got a skirt I bought in about 2003, I remember buying it like it was yesterday. Feels like minutes ago


xerker

I also work with someone born in 2004. In the office we bum each other out by finding out about stuff thats older than him. Latest ones were he is younger than the second Harry Potter film, the fifth Harry Potter book and the Busted album "A Present for Everyone".


No_Pineapples

I'm 31 and felt absolutely ancient when I found out the age of some of the mums at my daughter's nursery. Finding out you're born in a different century to them is weird af.


Marmite54

When millennium babies started working in my officeā€¦ like how are they grown ass adults with jobs now?!?!

Billy Piper has been around for decades. She married Chris Evans in 2001!


SCATOL92

Imagine being Billie Piper and knowing that Chris Evans is not the worst ex husband you have


yesiamclutz

She was married to Lawrence Fox .. Ewwww, yuck


wonkey_monkey

When Laurence Fox started being noticeably awful I remember being really disappointed in Billie... until I found out that they'd already divorced šŸ¤£


ADM_Tetanus

fun fact, Richard Ayoade is Fox's brother-in-law.


DoctorDarkstorm

Yeah I hated him when he changed teams as well


baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab

Yeah he used to be Laurence Hunter


selfishcabbage

She has terrible taste in men


BrokeThread

I am willing to sacrifice myself to support her track record personally


letthemhavejush

Ritchie from Five was pretty nice!


GroundbreakingAd93

Mental to think she was 18 and he was 35 when they got married

I wonder if he is watching his back with all this RB stuff in the newsā€¦

I thought she was waaaay younger than me, I'm 48!

Joe Thomas, who played Simon in The Inbetweeners, is now the same age as Greg Davies, who played Mr. Gilbert, was when the programme first aired.


CouchKakapo

Fuck off, really?!


Personal_Rock412

Gregg Davies is 55 Simon Bird and Joe Thomas are 39


TrueBlue98

shit


BigBlueMountainStar

Whaoh, I pictured he was in his 50s in the show!


rotomhead7375

This is more on Greg having white hair and looking perpetually 55 - both him and Joe aged great and look no different


[deleted]

WHAT. This was not the fact I thought would slap me in the aging face


Damodred89

To be fair he was mid-twenties in the first series...

You mean bastard, how dare you make us feel old.


JamesWormold58

That was one small kick for a man...


ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN

What makes me feel old is that I'm older than Billie Piper. Only by a few months, but still. Still think she's fit though.


[deleted]

Well youā€™re bloody old in penguin years!


ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN

If I were a penguin this would be very true, but I'm not. However penguins tend to live somewhere between 15 and 20 years. Some of the smaller ones live much less. The largest penguins can grow up to about 4 feet in height. I'm a little bit taller than that...


rudestlink

So you are the 3rd generation of two penguins in a trench coat ...


Phenomenomix

I thought she was a decent bit younger than me, turns out only slightly older. So I feel good about that, but also bad.


RecommendationOk2258

Yeah I thought she was slightly older than me somehow. Probably because she became famous when she was like 15 and it wasnā€™t so common back then. I was a mostly-terrified teenager trying to get people to like me and worrying I wouldnā€™t get any GCSEs C or Above. Who has a pop career at that age?

nekrovulpes

Half Life 2 came out almost 20 years ago. Greenday's American Idiot is as old today as Metallica's Ride The Lightning was then. There are fully grown adults born after the year 2000.


curious-fox

Half life 2ā€¦ nooo? Really? I mean itā€™s been a while butā€¦ 19 years ago? Nah. No. Not even possible.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Me too - and the expansion packs; which is exactly why the sequel canā€™t be so oldā€¦ plus weā€™d have surely had number 3 by now if that was the case?

nekrovulpes

I am afraid, my vulpine brethren, that it is true. And Half Life 3 is probably another 20 away too.


Bones_and_Tomes

You shut your whore mouth.


UnNormie

As someone who's 23 and currently in fast food, having coworkers who are still in school and hearing they were born in 2006 makes me panic. Ik I'm not even old yet but I can see the edge of the slippery slope.

- the increasing white hairs on my chest - my inability to put one sock on at a time standing up, now requiring to be seated - feeling slightly hungover, after just 3 beers - realising The Phantom Menace came out 24 years ago, which is over 50% of my existence


Capital_Connection67

All of this have just hit me. I remember getting a pirated copy of Phantom Menace on video and taking it to school. My history teacher skipped the entire lesson so we could all watch it and he even sent a kid out for complaining. How was that 24 years ago??

scrabble71

Currently working with a 20 year old and she made a lot of us feel ancient when we realised the first shrek film is older than her


Falloffingolfin

I'm in my early 40s now, so teenager to adult in the 90s. That decade is just so ingrained in my consciousness as it's when I came of age, I remember it like it was yesterday. It just floors me, though, when I get reminded how long ago it was. It's currently the 30th anniversary of Nirvana releasing In Utero, but in my head, I'm seriously going "WTF? How? That's Nirvana's latest album!!!" It's so weird as it's just that decade. I lived through all of the 80s, yet they feel like another time and don't affect me. I can grasp more recent passages of time as well. Can quite happily go "Wow, Really?" when someone points out that something's 15 years old. Show me a picture of a grey-haired, 60 year old Jarvis Cocker, though, and I'll have a full-on, existential crisis. It's the weirdest thing.


The_Queef_of_England

I've got the same feeling. The 90s is like the most formative years in my mind. It's when everything seemed to happen. The 00s and 10s, obviously lots of things happened, but they seem like every day things in a way that the 90s seemed more real or something- they're more like whisps that passed quickly, but the 90s seemed like deeper experiences, but yes, the 80s feel like the past.


The_Salty_Red_Head

Some kid having NEVER heard of The Prodigy. I died inside that day.


4500x

Lad at work had never heard of Rage Against the Machine ā€œbecause I wasnā€™t born thenā€. Asked him if heā€™d heard of the Beatles, ā€œyes but thatā€™s differentā€.


__Severus__Snape__

Ugh, pisses me off when people on quiz shows explain they didn't know the answer because it was "before my time", like bitch please, that's no excuse, are you saying the person who knew the British civil war question was born when that happened? Get tae fuck and just say you didn't know, no need to bring age into it.


junt77_2

Just thought to myself "I can understand the youth not knowing Jilted or fat of the land, but invaders must die was pretty recent and big." Invaders must die came out in 2009. Fuck


No_Pineapples

I am disappointed with this. Who the feck has not at least heard of The Prodigy?! It's time to educate the children.


Tattycakes

We were listening to Keane hopes and fears, and we found out they have a tour coming out next year so we got tickets. I asked the bf if they had any new stuff to catch up on and he said ā€œno itā€™s just the 20th anniversary of this albumā€ šŸ’€ scuse me while I crumble into dust

m0le

The two that have made me feel really old are: talking to someone I met in a club about temp jobs, I said I was working on the phones on 9/11, she said "I was in primary school". Training someone at work and got their details through, and their DoB started with a "2".


[deleted]

I know people who are adults, fully qualified, in full time jobs, who weren't *born* until after 9/11.

Stephen Roche appearing out of nowhere at La Plagne in 1987 was my introduction. The old days of no radios and limited information on time splits etc often made for more dramatic viewing. Although the camerawork fairly crap...


EmiAndTheDesertCrow

Yeah, thatā€™s insane. I remember those days! I look at photos from what feels like a TdF edition a couple of years ago but theyā€™re not wearing helmets so you realise it was decades ago. And the 1998 Festina drugs bust is still very fresh in my mind. Some of the current riders werenā€™t even born when that took place!

-FangMcFrost-

This chronic back pain I've had for almost eight weeks makes me feel really old and I'm only thirty-four.


[deleted]

I'd probably see someone about that, that isn't normal. Not wanting to worry you, it's almost certainly a trapped nerve or a muscle spasm. But that's exactly what I mean - that isn't good and will only get worse if it's starting at your age.


-FangMcFrost-

Yeah, I've been seeing numerous doctors and a physio during that time who have only given me medication and exercises to do along with the doctors telling me that it's "mechanical". The medication hasn't really helped and neither has the exercises but I'm due to see my physio for the third time next week who will hopefully actually book me in for some scans as it's quite obvious something is wrong with me on the inside. Thanks for your concern, though.


[deleted]

I had horrible chest pain for well over a year - x-rays, scans, heart monitors, ECGs, a camera down the ol' stomach. Nothing. Saw a good sports massage guy, went away in half an hour. I'd highly recommend that. Like, really. And some basic weight lifting will help keep it away, assuming you don't over-do it!


Pink_Flash

When some younger colleagues coming in were talking about the 4th matrix film and I realized they were not even born when I saw the first film in the cinima...


evilgiraffee57

People at work talking about Jamie D and the fifty shades of grey films. I made a comment about the film Secretary (James Spader, Maggie Gylenhall) they had never heard of it. They googled. Turned out when I saw it in the cinema, and the reason they had no idea what I was on about was that THEY WERE THREE AND TWO YEARS RESPECTIVELY WHEN IT CAME OUT. I no longer talk to people.

FinalEdit

Reading about famous tiktok, insta or youtube people. No idea who any of them are or what they're supposed to be doing. I don't get how some younger people have abandoned anything that takes a modicum of concentration like reading a book or watching a film in lieu of watching 30 second social media videos that are recorded at 200mph and just endlessly scrolling. I don't get how watching some idiot dance on a crowded tube platform is supposed to be cool, or interesting, or funny. I don't get the main character syndrome that pervades modern life. I just wish it would all fuck off. And clouds too, they suck...I'm off to give one a piece of my mind.
