Does that mean in two years I will also begin to forget how old I am ....as long as you never start to say "Grasse agrees with me"...you should be alright.

Legal drinking and driving in SA is 18 but I was never refused entry into a club and I started going from about 16 (a few times before that staring at 14).
I used to quite enjoy looking older than what I am. I don't like it much anymore. People thinking I'm closer to 40 than 30 is a little insulting.
Problem is I seem to have my fathers genes for going grey. At 26 I have more than I am comfortable with and by the time I'm 30 I'll more than likely have grey temples. Guess I can forget about anyone every judging my age properly.
At least men look more distinguished as they get older...if I was a woman I would be having a nervious break-down.

Re: Selection Strategies at the Guildford Arms
The big bash is in Falkirk, which is only 25 miles from Edinburgh, and roughly the same distance from Glasgow too.
I live in Bonnybridge, a small village that is the UFO capital of the world LOL, no kidding, check it out on the Net.
My birthday is on the 6th October, which is a Monday, but the party is aranged for saturday the 4th.
I am planning to make it last a few days, so who knows I may well end up in Rose Street for a pub crawl.
Everyone is welcome, it would be amazing if anyone from the forum here could make it along to either the party or a pub crawl anytime after the party.
I am really looking forward to it, I dont feel 40 at all, and I honestly do feel that my life is just beginning. I wasted too much time messing about when I was younger, I was 30 before I went to university for the first time and really wish I had done it much earlier, but circumstances prevented this.
Anyway, all are welcome to the party and/or pub crawl, the more the merrier!
Brian.

Older than dirt.* In fact, God still owes me royalties on the dust He used to make Adam.
* But not as old as Coragyps.

Hey, a frequency graph of respondents so far would stick me
right in the norm of 36
Is that some kind of coincidence ... what's the odds of that

Re: Selection Strategies at the Guildford Arms
I'm guessing that some of your party may well be seeing
some UFO's that night then

The "mystery member" comes out
In Brian's photo page there is a certain strange person, sharing a photograph with distinguished Canadian Red Green. That is me. So, how old do you think I am? Percy is disqualified from answering, since he may have inside information.

Re: The
Hi Moose,
I'm from Upper Michigan originally, and since you look exactly like half the male photos in my (admittedly old) senior yearbook...you must be...um.....18?

Re: The
The photo was from about a year ago. There was a PBS fundraiser, that included a "Red Green Show" special. The station areas that came in in the top 10 (pro-rated for market size I'm sure) in money pledged, got a showing of the Red Green movie "Duct Tape Forever", complete with an appearance by Steve Smith (aka Red Green). For $100 I got to see the movie for free, and for an additional $5, I got my phote taken with Red.
The top area was Iowa (I believe for the 4th straight year). As I recall, Salt Lake City (which probably included a pretty big area) came in at number 2. Duluth, Minnesota came in at about number 7.
I must have looked very young in my high school yearbook. Try again.
