Your age?

[John King]

I remember ours in Brisbane from the early 1950s ... UX 1827 ... Became 79 1827 a bit later on.

(Mooloolaba 310) was our beach house. It was initially a manual exchange in 1951!

(Nipan 7U) was one of our properties. Manual exchange and party line into the late 1960s. It is in the Dawson Valley. The property is now an open cut coal mine. Very sad really.



It was a beautiful property ... .

I've added up all the ages in this thread so far, and divided by the number of forum members.

On average, the age is not so young after all!!

What you mean to say is that we have such a collective wisdom and unparalleled level of experience, that the younger members should be completely awestruck by being in our presence.

That is why we exemplify the much abused term "awesome".

Or am I being too modest .... ????

No, just awful

Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.

Apparently i'm old enough to know better, according to the mem'sahib at least. She always says she's as young as the man she feels, which makes me a toy boy I think.

We came to the conclusion at work that growing old was mandatory, but growing up was merely advisory.

Personally I am not concerned about my age, merely that each day I beat my personal best for the number of consecutive days alive....

I'm 24 with 20 years experience.

I always like the saying that 'if you have not grown up by the time you hit 50, you don't have to'

Now that's something I can get behind. But I petition to lower that age of holdout to 40

I used to tell my mother "If old age is catching up, walk a little faster". I've got to the point where I think I need to start running!
