If I hear one more 29-year-old grumbling about how their life is nearly over because they are almost - gasp! - 30, I am going to slap the wee twit.
And then I'm going to send them to work in the salt mine at Carrickfergus. I have decided this will be my gulag when I'm dictator.

There's a salt mine at Carrickfergus? Gives that annoying song a new meaning...

I don't know many 29-year-olds, but I'll take your word for it. I was daffy enough to indulge in that fantasy when I was that age, though 40 was the real fear. I've since passed 40, 50, and 60, and now I'm hoping for my father to become a centenarian so I can aspire to that vaunted age.
Anyway, 40 is the new 30, so the 29-year-olds are out of touch with current illusions.
