You know you're getting old when....

...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...

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

Who?

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

I don't know who he is....

That should have been jings!

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

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

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

I know who Sam Smith is and I know what he looks like without having to Google him. So there. Don't know what I'm doing on Gransnet, I'm much too young really.

Oh I am beginning to agesad

Ana Mon 19-Oct-15 17:23:00

He's already done the latest Bond song, whtewave, so you're still a bit behind the times, if not old! grin

rosesarered Mon 19-Oct-15 17:02:21

Never 'eard of im!
Though I did hear the new Bond title song the other day and thought it the worst ever.

whitewave Mon 19-Oct-15 15:42:01

I know Sam Smith so I'm not old. He's doing the next Bond song. I feel so young nowgrin

mollie Mon 19-Oct-15 15:38:14

I was going to answer with some tale of telling the same story to the same person more than once but I think, having read the posts, I shall just say I know I'm getting old now because I don't know who the heck any of these people are!!! Should I put that right or is it ok to continue in my ignorance? confused

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 19-Oct-15 15:20:38

That was ages ago though! grin

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 19-Oct-15 15:19:58

Originally I thought Sam Smith was female. blush
