Yep, me too. Which is nice, since I work in a lab with 3 grad students, and most of my friends are younger than me as well.

So, who's the youngest, then? I know PSD is younger than me, at least.

Still the oldest. (By a month). Bugger.

Any nethead grannies out there like Jasper Fforde and want to relieve me of this position?

Well, if I could make my mother learn English good enough to read fiction, and than hook her on to Fforde's books, and than she gets a hang on using computers, and she joins this fforum...

If I was only a spring chicken myself...as it is, I'd fit right there with AllAmericanCutie

Fuzz is younger than I am, for starters. I'm 21 still...

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

So it's Jon, Simon, Auntysassy, myself, Magda, and then possibly Skiffle next...

Oh, wait! No! We've been forgetting Dave Rainbow! He had his 43rd birthday in December, so he's older than Jon!

Bet you feel better now, Jon... ;-)

ooh .. really? *brightens up no end* I felt terrible being the oldest when I'm so young really.

oh dear! Sarah, you're taking WAY too much pleasure in that! LOL

(That's okay, I'm older than my husband - by 19 months - and he reminds me of that EVERY day! no kidding! So I would do it too, if I had the chance!)

the Dodo is 57 and although not quite a fforumite, I do refer to him so we could count him as the oldest! Stretching it a bit I know but it might make Jon feel even better and less like the Aging Juvenile Binky Huckabuck (another gratuitous Round the Horne reference!)

Thank-you, Dame Celia Molestrangler ...you've made a happy man feel very old (and put a right bona smile on my dolly old eek).

Me? 22 going on 12. And still faintly bemused when ever anyone refers to me as 'that man over there', I keep looking round to see who they mean. I might start behaving like an adult when I see a benifit.

Getting served in pubs is good. And having a credit card. Er .... that's it.

I actually got carded (ID'd) the last time I ordered alcohol in a restaurant. I was tickled pink!

I think I'm in the middle in the age rankings (I'll be 30 in August)
