the timezone change never ceases to amaze me, it is still tonight where i am but for you guys it is already tomorow morning. where can i pick up a copy of the rule book? is it legal to play the biscut game if i have never had a true cup of tea(just that american stuff)?

[Snagandorf] Play away old thing! But just remember you won't be able to dunk.

i did once buy fifty packets of earl grey for a dollar, i put one directly in my mouth and sucked on it for half an hour, does this count as tea or did i stain my teeth for nothing? it may take an extra turn but i can still envoke the mighty coffie dunk of java. i just turned twenty one, i have only began to confront those wh call me kid, i refuse to be called old thing!

I'm not 19 till August and I love being called old thing! :) Makes one feel silly (in the dash good way), what.

A common facetious greeting in the pub among men of my age (61) is "Good evening, young man". More, I say, more.

[Rosie]Nights out with you must be a scream! ;)

I remember reading in Hardy's Far From the Madding Crowd that Gabriel Oak was (quote from memory warning) "of that age when people begin to stop prefixing 'man' with 'young'" - and he's then revealed to be 29. Ever since, I have thought of 29 as the age when one stops being young. That means I have nine months of youth left.

[BM] People will still call you "young man" but they'll do it to humour you.

(Boolbar) You're right; that's why we oldies do it, to take the piss out of each other.

For some reason, I think of 50 as the boundary. I can see it in the distance, like a barricade across the road, rapidly getting closer.

young man is fine,but i work as a cart pusher at walmart(a job usualy reserved for those under age 18), and i get called "hey kid". when i tell my coworkers how old i am they are supprised(apparently i look quite young for my age).
