...you stand next to Sam Smith in a shop for ten minutes and have no idea who he is and then when someone tells you, you haven't got your camera with you anyway albeit having an ipad thingy in your bag but having no idea how to use it [and don't have a smart phone either]. However, I have taken a photo of where I WOULD have taken the photo and am going to superimpose a photo of him onto it [when I figure out how to do it...] sad...

...you can remember when being caught with 'Playboy' was more embarrassing than being caught with the Daily Mail.

I don't know Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran or John Newman are. I thought that John Newman was the singer of 'Cars' but DH told me that was Gary Newman blush

I do listen to the radio kings but he hasn't been on desert island discs or you and yours!

You know when you are getting old....

When you read an apparently contentious thread on GN, not really have a clue what is going on and CBA to try and find out.

Enough said.

When you lose your phone. Ring it although that's a daft idea because it's always on vibrate. Ring it again. Ring it again. Discover it in your jeans back pocket. My bottom is obviously too well padded!

This might be an old thread, and I had to Google Sam Smith, (none the wiser) but as he was in some way connected to the Bond films it seemed appropriate to revive this thread.

You are definitely getting old when the first James Bond celebrates his 90th birthday, but in your head he's always that suave, secret agent, 007.

I do know who Sam Smith is but I couldn't name any of his songs (I was going to put 'records' but that would date me I guess?)
What has troubled me is that at 72 I am only 18 years younger than Sean Connery - that doesn't seem much at all shock

Havnt a clue who Sam Smith is, but I do pick up my remote control to make a phone call! Senior moment.

You know that you're getting old when the bells hang lower than the rope.

Yuck.

I quite like Sam Smith’s high pitched voice. I think, but I could be wrong, that he is a Gay Icon.
