Considering the limited sample size, it's settling into a pretty normal distribution very quickly.

Also, JBR, you have to keep coming to the meets, otherwise I'm the oldest one there, which simply won't do. As the youngest in my family, I get confused when I'm one of the older people in a group.

That's a good enough reason for me, consider it done.

Another December birthday here. We are the greatest, it is true.

Only just 26 here. Yes, that's right, you all forgot my birthday.

Interesting to note that the majority of the people here would have been in their teens during the mid-90's; I suppose that's our Amiga Power heritage showing through.

My birthday was usually on the very last day of school unless it fell on a week day or Monday, which was actually wonderful, because people at school would often get me gifts, and we were at a ready-meeting spot for a couple of hours where we'd mooch around and the teacher would play hangman with us on the board, or something, and then the end of the day was at 11am* so we'd spend the rest of the day together in a joyous mood because it was the Christmas holidays :smug:

*Our school always finished at 11am at the end of term as each school would finish at a different time so that the kids weren't all ending at the same time which had led to fights between all of teh local schools in years previous to me being at school.

Also, someone at poker yesterday knew my non-railcard age through some hocus pocus :p How distressing.

Age is a funny thing really. How people are bothered by getting older and moan about it so much (esp.the women)
My mother is nearly 60 (I remind her of this because then she gets perks like cheap fish and chips and the use of the bus) but it doesn't bother her, she doesn't care about age at all. Saying that, my mother is very young looking for her age-but doesn't use any anti-aging crap, so I guess it wouldn't worry her. I don't think I'll be bothered about age either when I'm 'getting on' as everyone grows old, so why moan about it?

I think the only reason I'd moan is if I'm too old to dye my hair purple...but that probably won't stop me. Blue rinse time instead then :D

Hehe, yeah, he knows my real age. I'm 29 (irk) and I'm going to be thirty in December :S

Tush, Craig, tell the world! (I missed where he said that, actually. I don't know - men!)

Craig is also 29, in case he fibbed :P

I doubt it. People looking young "for their age" is almost certainly to do with their genes mostly, followed by a very small amount attributable to lifestyle and an even smaller amount attributable to potions and lotions.

Wrinkles are 90% caused by UV rays, according to the scientists I worked with at L'Oréal. Moisturisers only play a tiny tiny part in helping prevent wrinkles. The hypocricy of this was amazing.

Ah well, my mum's side (including me and Rae) have very very fair skin as we have red hair in our genes so we stay away from the sun (like gremlins!!) Mum's had a tough life aswell so it should be showing, but it doesn't. So I'll just put in down to rather excellent breeding :)

Post subject:  Re: How
I'm not going to argue the toss that your lifestyle will age you, it will, that's obvious. What I was referring to is that there are people who are naturally younger looking and they may not adhere to a particularly good lifestyle, be it smoking, drinking, tanning etc, but it still effects them less because they have the good genetic make up that makes them look young.

Your lifestyle will obviously help you to stay younger looking - I know this. Stop drinking, eat healthy food, drink lots of vegetable juice, get plenty of exercise - you will look ten years younger by the time you're in your mid 30s. However, I was referring more to the annoying people who don't live their lives like this and still look amazing.

I got ID'd buying alcohol in Tesco's the other week (I'm 26) and as I didn't have any, they refused to sell it to me. I look young for my age, but not 17, so I was rather cross. Plus, how many teenagers do you know who buy two bottles of Newcastle Brown along with a microwave meal of an evening? I put it down to the cashier being a spoilsport muslim and stormed off in a huff.

This makes sense as mum used to smoke loads, but has cut down now to 10 a day (v.proud of Suki) and ate loads of rubbish, but still managed to stay healthy and remain at a size 8 until she was 45, then she went to a size 12 at 50, now she's at size 14 is nearly 60! I just hope I look as good as she does at that age! Go Suki and the supreme gene

Dude, I got ID'd at Asda last week, and I'm *32*. That was for a single bottle of their second-least-expensive champagne as well, hardly the tipple of choice for underage chavs.

Really? That must have passed me by. I hate her fractionally less in that case. I did ask her 'Do I look 17 to you?' and she didn't say anything about a change in the law. I noticed a sign in Somerfield yesterday saying you have to show ID if you appear to be under 25, which seems ridiculous. What next, 'Bring a swab of DNA with you if you intend to purchase alcohol'?
