to think that 1996 was NOT 18 years ago!

[Bogeyface]

It cant be!

Watching the Adam and Joe show on the Sky thingy, and everything on there, including the show itself, is only a few years old.

Please tell me it is, otherwise I am watching a program that I watched as an adult but is almost 20 years old.

Oh and 1984 was only 5 minutes before that, because if it isnt then I am officially old and my record collection is laughable!

Charlie Red is still my go to fragrance now when im short of cash. Savers has big 100ml bottles for £3.99.

I was wearing Heather Shimmer between 1992 and 1994 when DH and I were living in a bedsit.

No. The 90's was only 10 years ago. Everyone knows that.

Oh and people were starting to use computers for things other than writing essays . . . seemed very complicated and murky and the people that did were total geeks !
Also cellphones - my boss at the time (small business owner) was the only person I know who owned one.

No, YADNBU.

See, kiddies with birthdates in the early to mid nineties were on all my paediatric lists, those dates of birth are very young children.

I was in my 4th year of med school in 1996. And somehow while I've been a doctor for 16 years, I've only aged maybe 10. If that.

DS1 was born in 2006, there's no way he's older than a wee lispy toddly thing. And DS2 (2007) is still my baby! But both at school because they're just so clever

1996 ... Paeds, maternity, all the "bit" specialties. Playing computer games over Janet (MUDs for anyone that remembers). The babies I delivered can't be old enough to be having their own, surely.

YANBU. It was yesterday, I'm sure!

It really cannot be true. That would mean that 1986 was 28 years ago & thats when I finished school. In 1996 I had been married 5 years already. I think I need a little rest in a dark, quiet room to recover from the shock

"Would you like to smell my Charlie?"

Snurkle :o

YANBU. I know this because I still live in 1999.
The 90s were my glory days, aged 15 to 25 - in 2000 I met my husband and started to become a grown up.

If we were in 1996 now, I would be if people thought 1978 was not that long ago - 1978 was like the proper olden days to my 1996 self! This is what blows my mind now when I realise just how far back the mid 90s actually are compared to now.

(I am v waffly, but I know what mean!!)

YANBU. I think circa 1993/4, someone hit the fast forward button. The 70's and 80's lasted for ever. The 2000's/10's have lasted about three minutes.

Have cheesy nightclubs started having 90s nights yet?

@WorraLiberty

Vinyl is back in fashion, so having a record collection makes you young at heart and on trend (and, by that measure, me too).

@MBT1987

I raise you:

Yanbu.I remember at comprehensive school we had a ' what will you be doing in the year 2000?' essay. I was going to be traveling the world in my early mid 20's as I am not, have not and will not be doing for the foreseeable future then it can't even be close.

realises just outed self by calling school comp

1996 was only a couple of years ago
Mind you, o do have trouble remembering how old I am. The beat way is to think how old dh is them take off 4 years
And that's.my age (grin)

If we were in 1996 now, I would be shock if people thought 1978 was not that long ago - 1978 was like the proper olden days to my 1996 self! This is what blows my mind now when I realise just how far back the mid 90s actually are compared to now.

So this! I went to uni in 96 and so have now known my best friends for half my life. Eek. 1996 is one of my favourite years of my life.

In the middle of my decade (the 80s) I used to listen to 1960s music on Radio 2 and think how lovely and vintage and old fashioned it was.

S'pose like the whippersnappers of today think about the mid 90s.....

19996 was the year I qualified as a nurse , this past school year 2013/14 is the year me and everybody that was in my year at school turned fourty eek next year it will be twenty five years since I left school !!!! when did scools start using year 1-11 in my day it was infants juniors and seniors.

1996!

I was already married 2 years in 1996

I left 6th Form in 1995 so was working for the first time in 1996. Randomly despite being on a YT scheme only earning £40 a week I had more disposable cash than I have now!

I went out wearing tiny little nightie style dresses and huge DM boots wearing Heather Shimmer and dewberry perfume. I also had a bit of a thing for leather necklaces with beads put on them but that could have just been me!

I was trying to explain the other day to DS1 who is 9 just how much writing we had to do at 6th Form when he was moaning about doing his homework...we didn't have a computer then so I wrote pages and pages of essays in rough then did a word count and then wrote it in neat.

I would have tried to back you up however, I've a 19 year old reminder here in the form of my 1995 born pfb.
Shit, I feel old I'm really not.

ihearttc I did exactly the same with my essays we could hand write our essays whilst I doing my nurse training in fact most people didn't have computers and then trawling though books trying to find quotes that backed up what I was saying ! Google is an amazing invention.

1996 - ah! Where so many of us sang along to dubious lyrics we didn't understand and wore hair mascara and the changing rooms stank like Impulse. It feels like a lifetime ago yet five minutes. I wasn't even that old - I went up to secondary school that year (so was 11).

Well, my daughter was born in 1996 and she's 18 - which looks like "proof" that it was. However, I left school in 1990 and that can't be more than about ten years ago.
And I'm quite sure that I was 16 no more than a few minutes ago.
Maybe time is running backwards. Is this a sign of getting old?

Well I thought 1964 was only 21 years ago, tops...people keep telling me I'm going to be 50 in a couple of months.They're having a laugh!!!!!

(Duh!) They're having a laugh!!!
