    Also one think about getting older is years that seemed recient suddenly seem longer I was in to this in the early 90's

    (Public enemy)
    "1989 the number another summer (get down)
    Sound of the funky drummer"

    So I was a bit young to like it at the time but a few years later it still semed "current" now somebody born in that year is probably already shagging ?, here's the rest

    Anybody born in that year like hip hop/Rap ?


    1989 the number another summer (get down)
    Sound of the funky drummer
    Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould
    (Brothers and sisters, hey)
    Listen if you're missin' y'all
    Swingin' while I'm singin'
    Givin' whatcha gettin'
    Knowin' what I know
    While the Black bands sweatin'
    And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
    Got to give us what we want
    Gotta give us what we need
    Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
    We got to fight the powers that be
    Lemme hear you say


    Fight the power

    Chorus

    As the rhythm designed to bounce
    What counts is that the rhymes
    Designed to fill your mind
    Now that you've realized the prides arrived
    We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
    from the heart
    It's a start, a work of art
    To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange
    People, people we are the same
    No we're not the same
    Cause we don't know the game
    What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
    You say what is this?
    My beloved lets get down to business
    Mental self defensive fitness
    (Yo) bum rush the show
    You gotta go for what you know
    Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
    Lemme hear you say...
    Fight the Power

    Chorus

    Elvis was a hero to most
    But he never meant shit to me you see
    Straight up racist that sucker was
    Simple and plain
    Mother fuck him and John Wayne
    Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
    I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
    Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
    Sample a look back you look and find
    Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
    Don't worry be happy
    Was a number one jam
    Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
    (Get it) lets get this party started right
    Right on, c'mon
    What we got to say
    Power to the people no delay
    To make everybody see
    In order to fight the powers that be

    (Fight the Power)

    What makes me feel old is having a nearly 15 year old son who is taller than I am.
    hahaha. I'm taller than my mum now - she finds it really irritating, but, to be honest, its great being able to talk down to her and pat her on the head as I walk past. She just turns into this angry little midget woman.

    Nooo, it doesn't irritate me at all, probably due to the fact that almost everyone is taller than me anyway. It's just a bit strange when it's my baby boy who I used to bounce on my knee what seems like yesterday. He's nearly all grown up!

    Wait till you hear a song you liked and then you realise it's about 25 years old. And your kids say things like, "Oh God, not this old crap" and roll their eyes!

    having people a good 5 years younger than me talking about being old makes me feel a bit old. but more so makes me laugh at them.

    if you age starts with a 1, you are NOT old. not even slightly. unless you are 101. then you are REALLY old.

    Well lets face it ... those of us whose ages start with 2 aren't old. Five years really isn't that much

    that's my point.

    if i'm not even slightly old, and i'm five years older than them, the idea that they're old is a bit silly.

    I take it back i've had far too many emails today from friends saying they are sore from yesterdays activities - LIGHTWEIGHTS - but clearly they are all still mentally 15 if not physically - though given the number of topless young men there were yesterday you wouldn't have guessed it.

    I'm less than a month away from 20 -and though I know it's not old, I feel too old for myself... In some ways I'm still 13 and in others no more than 17 I think... 20 means I'm not a teenager anymore so I should become "older", but I don't feel ready for that... I'm scared... :( :nervous:

    At your/our age is still much tooo young to start complaining about a bit of exersise, tell your friends to stop moaning and get down the gym, then next time it should be OK,

    My gran only started complaining about such things when she was 60,
