This appears to be one of the few places on the interwebs that I don't feel old!
(Officially 54 and 3/4, mentally 12, physically feel 100...)

Thanks chaps!  :-bd

I still think I'm 25, but my body tells me otherwise and at times I feel like 75, especially me knees and back!

Orcs

I often feel like a 30 year old, but Mrs Orcs says they are too young for me and anyway I would not be able to cope ! ( I think that's harsh)  :'(

I'm 62. Mathematically I figure that entitles me to 2 x 31 year olds, or perhaps 3 x 20 year olds who are almost approaching their next birthday.
Like Orcs, it's never likely to happen - but I can dream...

A friend of my schooldays discovered an acceptable proxy was a cannister of shaving cream fitted with an ordinary spray nozzle.

Like Techno, this man is responsible for a fair chunk of the albums I own - total legend will be missed. :(
