h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm officially past it

Tonight at work I was chatting with a couple of co workers Sarah, my opposite number at work and Emma a young (very) lass who's just started. We were talking about music and Sarah mentioned she was going to see Westlife in Brighton next year, I said I'd got tickets to see Bon Jovi, Emma clicked her tongue and said "Is he still alive then?"

Jon Bon Jovi is about 5 or 6 years older than me

I've fancied him for 20 years

Last week, in our smoking area, somehow the original Star Trek came up. One lad mentioned that his Dad had told him about it. But as his Dad was soooo young when it came on. Turns out, this "co-worker" of mine had a Dad a full year younger than ME !!!

Girl, you've ages to go before you are old.

's are being handed out atm

Thanks guys

Hey, there's always lots of them to be found. If you don't mind appreciably older 'lads'.

welcome to the club

I think the more disturbing thing here is someone paid for tickets to see westlife

I did actually think that at the time TB

Seems that makes us about the same age Reef...and I'm not nearly done growing up yet! I won't, I won't, I won't!

It's great to let the 'inner child' out occationally

Oh you YOUNG people !!!!

*hobbles away on his walker ...*

>>It's great to let the 'inner child' out occationally<<

I struggle to keep the little minx in!

I have that problem too

I have a co-worker with whom I have a lot in common musically, and what we do for fun (beer racing, rock festivals etc). I have a lot in common with her mum: woodwork, knitting, sewing etc. I go ice skating with both of them.

It's strange though, I'm almost exactly 10 years younger than the mum, and old enough to be my colleague's mum! and at the same time.

As for Bon Jovi - I was telling another of my (much younger) coworkers about when I went to see them in 1987 (?) on the Slippery When Wet (or possibly the one after?) tour. It was in a tiny tiny venue and you could practically reach out and stroke his (poodle) hair. We're arranging to go to the gig together. At the same time I'm arranging to go to see Robbie Williams with the first girly (up there) her mum and my kids.

So, I guess... you're never really young or old. Just how you fee. (of course, I act about 12 most of the time anyway, so what do I know)

Thanks Sho, I knew I was in trouble when Me and Alex we're arguing about the best version of Tragedy, Steps (Alex) or BeeGees (Me)

you could have a mixture of both lol your as young as you feel

my mam, always used to say "act your age", so I said, do I have to act something different every birthday then??, I followed up with "its no act, its me". Age don't mean a thing to me, I've acted daft, since being knee high to a grasshopper, why change perfection, just co's I'm now 55

I cant wait to be old. You can give out to everyone about anything, insult people to their face and laugh out loud at random.

God I'm going to be a horrible grumpy old man.

*dances a happy jig*

Besides Westlife suck arse, and Jovi is allright, sadly I'm not really into the old power ballad routine, but yet again westlife suck arse.

...


Westlife suck arse...

*puts on his best 'The Count' accent from Seasame Street*

Von vestlife sucking arse, Two vestlife sucking arse, Three vestlife sucking arse, four vestlife sucking arse etc.

well i think my shoe size is the best age to act, and i have such little feet too

Whoops forgot this...

for Reef, act your shoe size not your age.
