7th november 1992!
Man i feel out of place because i'm the youngest person to put their birthdate up!! boo hoo!!!!! or atleast out of the people who have included the year they were born in....otherwise i don't know!
Don't worry, frogglet, daffw is younger than you, although he has not been seen since that incident with the rotating blades, polar bears, and some U235. At least you are on the same continent as about half the active gang.
Your birthday is now in the list.
there is a fresh batch of pies, mainly fruit (marked with an "S" for sweet) and one or two meat & potato (marked with an "S" for savoury) on the table. Help yourself.
1992? Sheesh.... They are letting people that young onto the internet now?

thanks for the wishes - I'm still around, but something seems to be stealing my time and I haven't found out what yet. Must be getting near to retirement that does it!
Hehe. Out of experience, one complains of always being the baby but when there is finally a younger person you feel as though your thunder has been stolen.
Bibwit: The main thing is that I do not feel like I am particularly old, but 1992 is a whole five years after I was born. Which is just under a quarter of my lifetime.
There are people in first year here at varsity that were born in 1990.
Is not a case of feeling put out or anything, just surprised at it. :)

I was thinking of retiring in 1990. It didn't happen but there was life on earth well before that date. As for 1992, that's a couple of coffee breaks ago.
Now,
'
Happy birthday to 'Zuki-pah' and 'the fifth bear' for the 22nd.
[and Zuki-pah admits to an existence that began after the introduction of CDs]
[fith bear is more reticent, but probably even further from then 'use-by- date.]
So then the fact that someone born in 1987 is in third year at university would surprise you?

I had honours at age of 20. (I never started a Phd, I was hypothesising) I apologise for the previous misleading post there. Promise no bragging in future. ^_^
