    Eh early thirties? Mid thirds would be half way... ie 35.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Early-to-mid thirties.

    30 = Thirty
    31-33 = Early Thirties
    34-36 = Mid Thirties
    37-39 = Late Thirties

    Reminds me of that quote from Hedwig (and the angry inch):
    One day in the late mid-eighties, I was in my early late-twenties.
    I had just been dismissed from University after delivering a brilliant lecture on the aggressive influence of German philosophy on rock 'n' roll entitled 'You, Kant, Always Get What You Want.'

    I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Sure after all what is age but a number and an accurate way to chronologically measure how long you've been alive?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭RikkFlair


    I stopped counting after 30


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,362 ✭✭✭Sergeant


    Turning 30 is great. You get to wear straight leg jeans, become increasingly right wing, and experience the joy of random nose hairs appearing out your nostrils from time to time.

    None of which are the sole preserve of the Left.

    You also get more serious.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 391 ✭✭anhedonia

  • Administrators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 78,393 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Beasty


    Yay - I'm early :D ...








    ...fifties:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    53 is the new 35- for dyslectics


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭9959


    33 is definitely Late-Thirties, no question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    Christ I could of sworn I was 33, I'm actually 34 (35 this year).
    I feel like I just lost a year of my life:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    I wonder how much the world will have changed by the time I'm that old.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20 Recluse


    Thirties should be called post twenties instead. I'm only 22 and I'm dreading turning 30 :(

    It probably look exactly the same as it did in, say, 1998!

    In another 25 years, the free bus pass age will probably be 90

    Does this mean that I've been in my late twenties for a year and didn't realise?? I would have thought 27 was still mid. It was only when I turned 28 that I started realising how close that is to 30!

    What attributes have peaked in those years?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭tan11ie


    Once you go over 30 you start forgetting how old you are.....so lets just say 30 - 39 = early
