    For me it's seeing myself in a photo under the "Where are they now / Old pictures of Barnsley " section in the Chronicle and realising it was taken 32 years ago :eek:



    Mind you , it was my sister that recognised me so I can't have changed that much ;)

    Two minutes ago (or so it seems) my baby daughter was on a life support machine, hours after being born. "Prepare yourself for the worse. She'll not see the day out" we were warned. At the end of this week of exams, she's coming home for the Summer, 21 years old and having just completed her second year at university.
    I'm old.

    Thank you, sir. We're extremely proud of her. But where did the time go?
    Thankfully for her, despite my claims to the contrary, she gets all her brains from her Mum.:D

    Time goes by very quick, it's a curse on us all, I'm pretty sure she gets many attributes from yourself as well. In my case my children were kept away from me for many years by a woman who's only excuse could be the woman scorned, very sad and only now they are coming to terms with his but even more sadly both I and my kids missed out on those years of them growing up. All this said. I'm quite jealous of your relationship with your special daughter, it gives me hope.

    Having a football manager the same age as me and starting to get annoyed with button up flies.

    Oh and my mate has a girlfriend who is 23. I keep taking things in to work that I own that are older than her. This week, REM's Out of Time

    I realise and appreciate how extremely fortunate I've been to have the wife, son and daughter I do.

    Realising that none of my colleagues knew who Chevy Chase was when I was sporting my National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation t-shirt at least year's works do.

    Spent most of the night saying "No, it's not Will Ferrell"...
