Somebody born the year I left school has absolutely NO RIGHT being old enough for University! You should still be toddling around and leaving dirty marks on your mother's freshly cleaned tables.
I am only first year if it makes you feel any better.....
And my mom's table is usually piled so high with marking that I couldn't make it worse if I tried....

I'm Ptolemy, or sometimes Phil (usually when I'm in deep trouble, which is often), and I own far more LP records than I do books. Of the books however, by far the largest subset are green (crime fiction) Penguins, of which I have around 500. Oh, and I was born in 1958, which makes me pretty much as old as the hills.
I'm megs, an Aussie who occasionally posts here. I was born in 1988 which definitely makes me a youngster. Oh and I'm a [mumble] first year uni student [/mumble]. The only magazine I suscribe to is The Chemical Engineer *sigh*.
Wow, I thought I was the youngster on this site, I'm a whole 2 years older than some people (1986). Go me. I feel it necessary to add to my post, *mumble*I'm a student*mumble* just to conform to everyone else who's in college. Btw, finals are awful.

Ick. Just had two tests today…and one was Operating Systems. I wanted to curl up in a little hole and cry afterward. (Well, okay, it wasn't THAT bad, but still…)

I'm David. I collect rock instrumentals and read incessantly. And if all the details of phorum members are correct I think I must be the oldest (1944).
At least it means you can enjoy your birthday! I have to do a presentation on mine- oh well, means the evening's free I suppose :) Happy Birthday for then Martin to a fellow 87'er
