I've noticed the following:
1.- There's more jellyfish in the sea.
2.- There's way more Indians, Chinese... people.
3.- There's way, way more traffic... it's like queuing from traffic light to traffic light.
4.- I earn ~100% more, but I pay ~120% more for everything except electronics, which have become cheap as chips... but less after sales "Hi [customer], is everything OK with your new purchase?"
5.- People are more aggressive and rarely give you a "Thanks" gesture... I remember motorcyclist always nodded, then I stopped riding for a couple years, then bought a BMW and nobody nodded... I figured it was cos I rode a BMW... now I'm back on a Yamaha, and I rarely get a nod.
6.- There are toll roads, bus lanes, cycle lanes everywhere in Sydney ... the cycle and bus lanes are completely uncongested while the car lanes are like parking lots.
7.- There's more good looking women around, but more women who don't check me out too 
.
8.- A lot more fish and prawns are now farmed.
9.- Coles and Woolies super markets look a lot better.
10.- Everyone's got an iFone
11.- There are more fancy cars around.
12.- The average house price around me is $1,500,000... and I have to keep moving further out.
13.- I don't see those "Buy Australian" or those "warehouse clearance" where the they SHOUT at you commercials.
The weather's always been a little unpredictable, and it hasn't changed.
....have noticed there are more (.Y.) 's around tho!
....have noticed there are more (.Y.) 's around tho!
and just how young do they get real ones nowadays eh? .... feel like a dirty olde perve .... erm well actually
cue......
Good observations Flysurfer. I agree.
The disturbing thing I've noticed is the lack of fresh fish available for sale in all those parts of Australia known for it's fishing.
McMansions - why do people with one kid or no kids live in these fricken huge stupid places with no land - I don't get that.
My dick doesn't work as well as it used to. Can't piss as hard or as high as I did 10 years ago - I used to love pissing high into the wind.
saw something about vegas mansions dropping below build cost earlier this year - and don't those US folk have fixed for life of loan interest rates? please do correct however!
My arms have gone shorter. If I get drunk I can't function for 3 days. I sleep in front of TV and go to bed to sleep! I have grand kids!
Before I do something I ask myself: Is it safe?
I do a lot more stupid stuff these days, like sit in front of a computer and reply to this SH!T
but about 2 months ago I took my VW and I have one of those pneumatic tyre carver skaties over to a new industrial estate in Murwillumbah attached a leggie to the towball and had my missus cruise around the estate with me attached Geez it felt good my kids were watching out the back window, I had to get them to promise not to mention it at school.
More traffic - commute 50% longer
More surfers - less good days
Girls wear less
My boss is younger than me *
It takes me until 5pm to recover from the night before 
I hear myself saying things to my teenage kids my Mum said to me
My belts are longer and my fitness sucks...
I can't play today's video games...
Girls wear less
When I think no one is paying attention I repeat myself...
* [2yrs]
10 years ago I was hard-working, good job, good money, nice house, company car, married, 3 young kids, playing rugby and surfing a lot.
Now: divorced, retired from rugby, no job, renting, doing second year of Nursing degree and just about to move to Finland to complete my studies and live with my new lady.
During the 10 years I learned to kite, left my job to work in the kite industry, played heaps of rugby, watched my kids grow up and pissed off the wife because of my obsession for kiting.
anyone looked at porn lately? (silly question right? we all have the internet and that's what it's for)
ever noticed the change? keeping in mind anyone could read this so don't want to be too rude but what was the limit of mainstream in the 80's is the standard in the 90's and so on. the stuff that is standard now is disturbing. add to that everyone can access soo much for free daily i reckon will become an issue / noticible in society. this is the first generation with so much exposure.
And if you have seen clerks two A2M is not okay, even in the heat of passion.
i agree with you,my morals went downhill years ago. im glad im not growing up now though,with the easy access to porn my mate would look like a tree in a bush fire,burnt with no bark on it
People have gotten dumber.
My dog has gotten smarter.
I get internally angrier about injustices but dont fight them as much.
My Dad died.
I spend a lot more time doing the things that resonate deep with in.
I now always try too do whats best for the planet
like most folks. Just trying too find a way through.
Farms used to grow all sorts of fruit and vegetables.
Most of these farms are now called wineries.
- Takes me 10 times longer to recover from minor sporting injuries
- I no longer eat McDonalds
- Have to get up 3 times a night to pee
- There used to be places in town where you can go out and there were no people around... now there is no such place any more
