Get this - at 41, I still drink from a bottle[as in beer]. Listen to hip-hop/dance music. Have always done this so why change. Guess I am still 18 at heart.
Anyone[of yee oldies] do anything similar?

I always thought, when i hit 30 i will have xyz, but what i never realised is that u do have those things, but u still think the same way u did at 20. Its a cool age, u have things u want, and u are still up for a laugh/being stupid.
Nice to hear the 40s can be the same!

Yes I'm 18 at heart too. Am often saying I'd love to go knacker drinking again much to the disgust of my friends! I always drink from the can/bottle at house parties.

Jay567 - very true - I'm having a ball being 29 - love this age as you are much more relaxed and confident and comfortable in your own skin. Wonder if its hereditary to feel/look young. My Mam is 48 and don't look much younger but she is still some craic and as for my Grandad he's 81 and jived the whole night at a recent family function.

21 years of age. I regret a lot of things done in my teens. And when I'm in my 30's, I'll probably regret my 20's

Brilliant - like that. My Mother's first cousin who's divorced and living in an apartment around the corner from me regularly has sessions in her house. I was walking down to the local one night and she had the door open, music blaring and the house was full of all the neighbours from the apartments including loads of students and there she was in the middle with a bottle of Bacardi and the life of the party. She is 60. DOnt' look it though and certainly don't act it!

At 37 I shouldn't still enjoy dance music and acting the fool, but I can't find where it says i should stop. I got in trouble recently for 'allowing myself to be carried on the bonnet of a moving vehicle' I really must grow up one of these days. No, sod it - I won't.

Wahooo! More late 20's, 30's and a little more- I was beginning to think we were in the minority.
Teenagers today are brought up with computers as part of their every day life- when we were growing up they were but a dream of the future.

I pulled out an advertisement for a calculator from 1982- do you know what it cost?

IR 169.50 + VAT @ 30% (eek 30% VAT rate???)

Thats for a calculator........

Don't times change!

S.

Ps- Maybe I shouldn't have continued looking- the VAT rate went up to 35% the following year...... People have no idea how good they have it these days!!!

17. Old enough to catch a bullet for my country, but not old enough to get pissed on my country's time. I don't drink, but still

Less of the 'old git' please! I remeber when Tayto crisps were 2 1/2 d! and when the TV broke down a man came to change the tube!

Getting older just means remembering more - it doesn't mean you have to BE old! People give out to me for being childish and I have a son almost as old as some on the boards!

Age is only a state of mind.
