I know what all this is about - it&#39;s the thirty issue isn&#39;t it Matt.

You see if you think that others are older than you - you get a bit smug that they get to put on the zip up bootie slippers with the bobbles on before you do.

You want the comfort of asking other people - "what is old age really like"

Do you have to wear incontinence pants and how many times a day do you have to change them - do you get special discounts for being an OAP at Homebase on a Wednesday - that sort of thing.

Well I&#39;m sorry Matt, you&#39;ll have to wait and find out for yourself - some people age gracefully like Spinksy and I and others do not like NFH for example.

Still none the wiser ? 30 - ish sort of &#33;

You know Scooby, I was quite beginning to like you&#33; Mhhmmmm....&#33; To be honest, I think I&#39;m more concerned at reaching that ever-closer 40 age http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif

Well, I&#39;ve used the poll, but in here I&#39;ll say: "I&#39;m as old as my tongue and a little bit older than me teeth" http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

Well I don&#39;t know about &#39;ageing gracefully&#39;, as no one knows if I&#39;m 17 0r 70&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Throughout my life I&#39;ve never fitted into any category - so why start now&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I&#39;ll just keep em&#39; guessin&#39;.

LOL, sounds fair enough&#33; http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Talking about categories, you know what annoys me the most?

If you&#39;re filling in an application or questionnaire form, etc and it asks you if you&#39;re "European - White"; have you noticed most of them don&#39;t list &#39;White-British&#39; (or English) now, you&#39;re either &#39;European&#39;, or clearly not legally here&#33; http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

That really ticks me off - and we&#39;re not alone. I know people who cross it out and put &#39;English&#39; - a friend crosses it out and puts &#39;Scottish&#39;.
It&#39;s another move towards homogenisation which is the worst thing that can happen, we just can&#39;t lose our identities, including regional identities.
Moan, moan, moan- sorry&#33;

I felt around 22 not long before I moved here - now strangely enough, I&#39;ve aged 26+ years inside what the calendar tells me is 7.5
