There are many here who I think of as young whippersnappers.

Yet we are all older than we were, back in the days when we were younger than we are.

I should be grateful if you could reply to this with your age.

For myself, I am prepared to confess to 51 :-(

Never fear, i. 60 is the new 40. You have much to look forward to. (Prostate cancer, incontinence, impotence.)

[Sir C]

50 :-( :cry:

Really? Blimey, I'd give you early 40s, a.

44, I quite like 44, it has a nice symmetry to it. I don't want to be 45

[IUFG]

Thanks for the reassurance there, sc

[Pat Vegas]

34 and 3 months just to add some extra characters.

50 at my next gig.

A period of quiet reflection.

36. I started posting on here when I was 18 :-(

So half of your life!

Why, thank-you.

50 at my next gig.

I was moved to make some big changes at 50. I am quite the grown up now.

One positive of getting older I think you can use milestone birthdays to splash out on ridiculously expensive gifts for yourself.

well that's my plan.

28 and 2 weeks. Look how old you all are :-( Sucks to be you.

How is fatherhood? Have you reached the "tolerably ****" phase yet?

[Sir C]

28 and 2 weeks. Look how old you all are :-( Sucks to be you.

Fúck. You.

[World's End Stella]

F*ck off :-(

F*ck off :-(

You must be pushing 50 as well by now.

Ah, but you have the liver of a 90 year old.

[Luis Anaconda]

Ah, but you have the liver of a 90 year old.

And very nice it tastes too :eat: :favabeans&chianti:

[Billy Goat Sverige]

How is fatherhood? Have you reached the "tolerably ****" phase yet?

It's alright. I think i'm at a bit of a boring stage tbh. Not really crawling/walking or doing anything interesting, yet has the ability to slap/scratch my face and **** once his nappy is off. I think i've witnessed his every bowel movement for the past two weeks. ****ing revolting.

[World's End Stella]

You must be pushing 50 as well by now.

Pushing? F*ck me I watched that number disappear a while ago. I think it was Frimmers who pointed out to me on Facebook that I was older than you. I think my reply was along the lines of 'yeah, but I look younger'.

Then again, I think you've done some living, Charles.

I've tried, old chap.

Much quieter life now, of course.

I am not a day over 35.

[Sir C]

I am not a day over 35.

Not a day, no, more a decade.

[barrybueno]

47 :-(

Luckily I don't act or look it :-) imo anyways...

[Burney]

I'm just turned 36.

God, are you? If pushed I'd have put you in your late 20s. :-( Not in terms of how you look, just my mental image of you.

[Burney]

Not a day, no, more a decade.

Steady on! 8 years is not a decade.

[Sir C]

54 but I look 30.

Well you clearly maintain a youthful vigour which does you great credit.

[Lar d'Arse]

I too am 51 C. Plenty of life left to be enjoyed (fingers crossed).

[Monty92]

God, are you? If pushed I'd have put you in your late 20s. :-( Not in terms of how you look, just my mental image of you.

Which of my (non physical) characteristics are incongrous to you?

Anyway, young secular Jewish professionals don't have babies in their mid to late 20s. That's what poor people do.

[Sir C]

You happy-go-lucky sons of Erin have the capacity to maintain your youthfulness to a great age, lar. I suppose you're simply pickled in Guinness.

Will you make 50, b?

I don't know. It's just I think of you as being a lot younger than me and you're only seven years younger.

[Lar d'Arse]

You happy-go-lucky sons of Erin have the capacity to maintain your youthfulness to a great age, lar. I suppose you're simply pickled in Guinness.

Most kind Sir, apart from the crude national stereotype of course.

Did you hear my good news? I am to become 100% Irish! Yes, I have my passport application form to hand, and, just as soon as I've squared my conscience, I am to be welcomed into the big, happy family that is Eire.

We're mostly drinking craft beers these days.

No Guinness barrels stacked by the fire? A bale of straw upon which to sit? A bottle of pink lemonade for the ladies?

Oh! My homeland! What became of thee?

[Burney]

Red lemonade, surely?

[Sir C]

For shame! Did the Few fight for this?

I had two uncles in the British army. They were far too stupid to fly aeroplanes, mind.

[Sir C]

Red lemonade, surely?

I remember it being pink lemonade when I was growing up. Perhaps it darkened over the next few years?

[Burney]

I remember it being pink lemonade when I was growing up. Perhaps it darkened over the next few years?

Oh it was pink, it was just called 'red' for reasons best known to Irishers.

We have always been a nation of artisan soft drink producers.

Do you still have Bubble Up, which was - as far as I could tell - a direct copy of 7Up?

[Burney]

I had two uncles in the British army. They were far too stupid to fly aeroplanes, mind.

Ah. Traitors to the Republic, of course.

[Sir C]

Ah. Traitors to the Republic, of course.

I believe they sent the money back to the grateful republic, in the customary manner.

[Burney]

I believe they sent the money back to the grateful republic, in the customary manner.

That would cut no ice with the local G.A.A. I'm afraid.

[SWv2]

Do you still have Bubble Up, which was - as far as I could tell - a direct copy of 7Up?

No. Did not even seen any price reduced stock in Connemara.

This should help explain:

One was a British Army cook, of course, and as such held to be responsible for more causalties than enemy action.

[Monty92]

I don't know. It's just I think of you as being a lot younger than me and you're only seven years younger.

I would guess that impression comes from the occasions where I seek your counsel.

[PSRB]

Yet we are all older than we were, back in the days when we were younger than we are.

43 apparently, all very depressing

[Burney]

I would guess that impression comes from the occasions where I seek your counsel.

No, I think it's because - and I mean no offence and I'm sure you'll admit this yourself - you were quite an immature (if amusing) young chap, which tended to give a rather false impression of your age. It was easy to think of you as barely out of your teens when you were in fact in your mid-20s. That lag in your real and perceived ages has sort of stuck with me.

[Pokster]

Yet we are all older than we were, back in the days when we were younger than we are.

A slightly older than you 51

[Burney]

43 apparently, all very depressing

Yes. Have you got to the point where someone asks your age and you actually have to think about it yet?

[Burney]

One was a British Army cook, of course, and as such held to be responsible for more causalties than enemy action.

Dear God! An Irish cook? Imagine being pinned down under heavy fire in some post-colonial awfulness knowing that - even if you survived - what you had to look forward to was a meal cooked by an Irishman. :cry:

[Luis Anaconda]

Yes. Have you got to the point where someone asks your age and you actually have to think about it yet?

:hehe: :nod: When I was 42 I would quiet often say 43 without thinking. No idea why

[Pat Vegas]

I always do that now. I always think I am a year older.

[Burney]

I always do that now. I always think I am a year older.

When I was asked earlier, I couldn't decide between 42, 43 and 44. :-(

[Pat Vegas]

When I was asked earlier, I couldn't decide between 42, 43 and 44. :-(

I always had this thing where everybody felt older than me.
I still have it but now I am 34 there are some proper kids in the office and I feel old.

[Sir C]

A slightly older than you 51

Hurrah! That's you and wes older than me! I'm pretty much the baby of the group.

[HomerJ]

Feeling much older....

[Luis Anaconda]

Feeling much older....

tbf you look it as well ;)

[Sir C]

Feeling much older....

How nice to hear from you, old boy! Are you well?

[PSRB]

Yes. Have you got to the point where someone asks your age and you actually have to think about it yet?

Only because I'm fighting with myself as to whether or not I lie

[Ash]

28 and 2 weeks. Look how old you all are :-( Sucks to be you.

At least we're not all Massive Hampshire Fans.

[HomerJ]

And you and yours?

I'll piss past 50 C. In fact now my little printing emporium is looking up I've got designs on living passed 60!
