Things that make you feel old...

[passedit]

The thing about this thread that makes me feel old is that 5Sams started it.

I was thinking the same thing.

Would ye give over the lot of ye...while there's a breath in your body and a rise in your pecker you're still young!!  Old is a state of mind and if you think you're old then you are!!

Groucho Marx , at the age of 81, said "I'm going to Iowa to collect an award. Then I'm appearing at Carnegie Hall, it's sold out. Then I'm sailing to France to pick up an honour from the French government. I'd give it all up for one erection."

When it takes them longer to trim your eyebrows than your hair. Still the only thing worse than getting old is not getting old.

To be fair I think I heard of them years ago and it was more my parents didn't want to buy them than they didn't exist when I was young!

There used to be world book door-to-door sales men.
Basically you buy maybe 20-30 encyclopaedia size books that had all the latest details on various topics. For example, there might have been a geography book or a Science book. So when you were doing your homework and you needed help, you could look it up in the world book.
I think there was a couple of options when buying them, a 1 off purchase or a subscription where you got updated versions every year.

A different time.

They were great. Every house in Ireland had a set.

The scary thing is that it won't be a blink until it's been 21 years since they've won an All Ireland, time really does fly!

A different time indeed. My mam was an agent at one selling them so we had the deluxe set along with a set of Child Craft encyclopaedias. I used to sit and read them over and over again and was fascinated by them. I particularly used to love reading the sections on fish for some obscure reason. Loved the clouds of the deep sea fish!
