When you can remember travelling on the free NAC bus from their central Christchurch depot to Christchurch Airport.  To get on the bus you had to show the driver a NAC ticket for travel that day.

I remember doing that in Auckland. Couldn't you also "check-in" at the downtown offices?

Have been interviewing for new staff lately and realized i started the shop before they were born (23 years ago)

You get a 10 year badge from some dodgy forum frequented by middle aged men.

 

Or when, at this dodgy forum, you dunno if the poster is 16 or 76

...you and some friends spend your Sunday constructing a kit building animal shelter, run out of time to put the roof on and feel so knackered by the end of the day that you feel you must have walked the entirety of the Pennine Way, not just nailed and screwed wood together...

You probably know you're old when someone young watches the video and asks who the little guy is:

Hint: it's not Al

It's not Betty, either.
