RealWorld Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Happy birthday Nick! But may I say, as someone who has 'known' you online for a while - your depth of knowledge, wisdom, experience and steadfast nature plus your continual reinforcement of a 'senior moment' personality make you sound MUCH older! I'd have guessed.... 58? For God's sake - you're younger than me! Many happy bounces Nick - and thanks for sharing yourself with us lot Richard
Mother Teresa Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Happy Birthday young man- i hope you've taken the day off to fettle with 'the girls'
GT6MK3 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Happy Birthday Mr Jones! 44. I remember 44. (Vaguely.). C. (In honour of this thread, I've (ahem) "adjusted" his designation.)
Nick Jones Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Happy Birthday Mr Jones! 44. I remember 44. (Vaguely.). C. (In honour of this thread, I've (ahem) "adjusted" his designation.) Thanks guys Not sure about "fettling" any girls - aren't there laws about things like that? Been driving the management around in the PI today - luckily we got home again without any unscheduled stops. As for the depth of knowledge.... I fear that the rate of learning and remembering may be proportional to the number of past mistakes made...... cheers Nick Edit: adjustment..... eeek! there's something to live up to!
Millstone10 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Yes Happy birthday for yesterday Nick Well worth pointing out that I am really 25, and have been for years (and so's my dad) Nigel (47ish and not counting)
sorbs Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 At least he's still a year away from having to tick the 'over 45' box on survey forms.
Nick Jones Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 At least he's still a year away from having to tick the 'over 45' box on survey forms. Aaargh! Actually, I'll just put down my made up age Nick
sorbs Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Not long now until I have to start ticking the '35 - 45' box. Imagine having to tick the same box as someone who's 45!!! I'll keep on pretending to be 28...........
GHR630 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Over 45???? Get over yerselves!!! I am now apparently of an age that the media refers to as "elderly" when its suits them. Believe me, Winter Warm allowance and a free bus pass do not compensate!!!
sorbs Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I've noticed that the media often describe 60 somethings as elderly too. To my mind, elderly means frail and old, ie 80 plus, not someone in their 60s!
Nick Jones Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 My grandmother used to refer, slightly pityingly to "old people" when she was well in her 80's. Used to make me smile, especially since some of her targets were younger than she. She didn't like being old, but fortunately didn't consider herself to be old until she reached her 90s. Nick
Martin Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Hi Nick, congratulations with some delay from Germany. ... all these young people ..... Martin
