Continuing the Wogan theme, who here are TYG's and who are TOG's? I am a TYG. Naturally, this is really just a backhanded way of dividing the population of the conversation into below and above 25's, but play along with me.

Is 25 the cut off? I thought it was more a case of you are as young as the person you feel. 
I would have said I was a TYG, but there are those who know me who have called me positively middle aged. Perhaps it is the waistcoats or the pocket watch, mayhap it is even my disturbing ability to name Fifties Prime Ministers during pub quizes, who can tell. Perhaps TOGlet is not a bad noun.

That's not such a bad medium. But I can't think of how to describe a TYG who's too old for his years. If a TOG is a TOGlet, as a pig is a piglet, then is a TYG a TYGatric as a geri is a geriatric?
Any ideas?

Dr Vibe...thanks for the honerable mention on your page, but DL

journal entry for details).

Errrrrmmm, well it was my teacher. He said that he was impressed at how I could pick up the Sax after no weeks practice, and still sound good.
Then I paid him the £12 quid and left!!
