Countdown to 31

Eight minutes before I'm 31. 31. Thirty One. Thirty was a an indication of getting on, but thirty one... It means that you've now been there done it, wrote the book. You have past it. Mate, you are old.!:(
I Dream of Absolute Zero
Damn that is old :) Happy birthday

NAH, you will just start using Hex next year and then complaining about the youngsters in another 16.

Cheers ::beer:: I tend not to celebrate my birthdays. But this number seem to be a like a quicksand into my final years.

Funny thing, no-one wants to get old, but no-one is keen on the alternative, either :-)

Ha! OK. Maybe I haven't done it all yet. But I like my freedom and kids and wives and all that seems to me to be what you do when you're old. Now, I have a mortgage on my head, so thats a tick on my 'Am I old Yet' list. Two to go and I might as well buy myself a rocking chair.

Nine more years of that and you may be balding with a gut, but get a sports car to pick up young chicks with. ;P Happy B-Day btw.

Ha ha. Funny you should say that, but that the two things that I think I'm immune to.* Baldness I've never really worried about it. Never had anyone in my immediate family that I know is bald.

Beer belly. Now, I drink a lot of beer. I'm Mr. Pub. But I'm forever thin. Up to a year ago I used to have a full gym membership, only to try and tempt a bit of weight onto me, but only in vain. All my brothers, and my father, has got enourmous bellies, but I seem to have skipped that one!

Now you are talking. I've got a 1995 Renault Clio. Does that count? :~

Ohhhh your in for a surprise. I was bone thin and a rail of a kid and used to have contests as to was thinner. Fast metabolism.. After a while in my thirties, ok maybe working at the computer and eating good food, and drinking Guinness regularly had something to do with it, I developed the infamous beer belly and am now a whopping 200 lbs. Being 6 foot tall helps to spread it around a bit, but my friends who remember what I used to look like are still in shock.

Guinness...Ahhhhh (Salivating Homer sylie). My staple diet.

Thats exactly what I've got. I am really worried about the day this gets tired and decides to stop altogether! Well my life has been a bit bland over the last couple years, so a (any) change probably would be initially welcomed (damn, I've just jinxed myselft haven't I?).

I raise my glass to you! I agree with that sentiment because I try to look at aging as being like the maturing of a fine wine. You live and learn. ( I'm 38 )

When I was seventeen It was a very good year It was a very good year for small town girls And soft summer nights Wed hide from the lights On the village green When I was seventeen When I was twenty-one It was a very good year It was a very good year for city girls Who lived up the stair With all that perfumed hair And it came undone When I was twenty-one When I was thirty-five It was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls Of independent means We'd ride in limousines Their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five But now the days grow short Im in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage wine >from fine old kegs >from the brim to the dregs And it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year It was a mess of good years

I tell everyone my 30s have been and promise to continue to be the best years of my life thus far. It could be denial, but I think it's the truth. ;) Happy Birthday!

I reached this milestone about 6 weeks before you. I came to a decision. My 20's rocked, my 30's are going to be even better :cool: Happy birthday! :jig:
A mum and loving it!
