Princess Diana died today , 21 years ago
That makes me think, Elton John is 21 years older. How much longer can he last?

Really brings it home when I deal with tradesmen at work, in their 30's, and was talking about electric drills (like you do), and it dawned on me that my Black & Decker pistol drill that I still use at home was older than any of them!
Oh well!
I’m 57, and I remember back in the early 70’s, the old bloke opposite, Ned, was gassed in WW1, now I;d loved to have chatted with him if he wanted to talk about it but back then he was just an old bloke we shyed away from.Being in my very early 50's, I was born only 22 years after WW2, but to most was generations ago.
Then you remember the Falklands war in my teens, that was 36 years ago!
Only 4 years later I bought my Stag, now 32 years ago, how did that happen?

Works both ways sometimes - when I was still shooting the occasional hoop, and a young upstart was getting a bit lippy, pointing out the laces in my shoes were older than him seemed to throw him off a bit. That and the odd stray elbow now & again. The benefit of wisdom

All those memories, gone because of ignorance...
Spent many an evening visiting and talking with my Grand parents, alas all passed away in recent years.
My Grandfather was a farmer, and during the war was in the Home Guard. He used to listen to the war news on a cats whisker radio placed in the bottom of a milk churn to amplify the volume.
When he was courting my Grandmother, he used to borrow his fathers Bullnose Morris, drive to see my Grandmother, on arrival (winter time), he then drained the hot coolant into a milk churn, wrap it up in a blanket to keep it from freezing, then before driving home, pour it back in!!
Fortunately my dad was into cine film and I have loads of film (now on dvd) from the early 60's of my Grand parents working on the farm, including holiday of my parents before they were even married, driving to Italy with friends with a tent on the roof of their Austin A35!
My dad continued through to the modern video age so have plenty of footage of myself and my sister growing up, much to the amusement of my kids today.
I myself have always taken plenty of video as a result, not for now, but to enjoy and laugh at many years later, so much more alive than normal pictures.
That's awesome. It's what it's all about

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
