What makes you feel old?

[Archev]

Over here, the first two numbers are the state the exchange is in, so some towns along a border might have the other states initial code numbers, the next 2 numbers are the regional area code, the next 2 numbers were the local exchange, and the last 4 numbers actually identified your telephone line .... as an example 02 was NSW, 42 was the Illawarra area, 29 was central Wollongong 3493 was the actual workshop line, 10 numbers to get both correct and in the correct order .... simples
Now I really feel old, that dates back to the mid '80s, but I still remember the phone number of my automotive workshop ....

The old thread

This sums up

Talking about grass

And bin collection

Buch old farts

Lot of us

In the style

Day three words

Just to confuse

In wrong thread

Who am I

Where am I

Help me please

That was the point Terry, the three words thread had grass cutting and bush trimming

It tied in perfectly with the we are old as **** thread, I then tried too hard to make the threads linked and you blew it out the water with the thirst reply

I am no longer funny and clever, just old!

You still have an "area code" though. 07 of course indicates a mobile and the following three digits indicate the original network provider that you got the number from. This used to change when you switched networks but since 1999 have been portable, so we can keep our number.

Yet I still look over at the printer whenever I return home to see if the built in fax machine has spewed out any more job sheets for me to attend it’s nearly seven years since I stopped working and quite a while before that since the last job came that way - but old habits die hard.

Running up a 1 in 5 hill at 7.30 every morning chasing my 3 dogs (great fun at 68!)

They'll pull you up that hill if you have them on a lead mate.

Can remember my last 2 post codes

 

[Archev]

Can remember my last 2 post codes

That’s showing off

 

[T1 Terry]

Can remember my last 2 post codes

but not the one where I live now or the street number, no idea what the wife's phone number is if I don't have my phone with me ..... but that's not being old, that's having your brain rattled inside your skull in an MVA ......

The real annoying part, it can't be proved in a court of law without an autopsy .... kinda makes getting an insurance payout not really worth the effort
