      I realised at the weekend that I was born closer to the end of World War2 than to today. That is so scary, especially as growing up WW2 seemed such an age away.

      On January 1st, we will begin the year 2013. Do you know what it has in common with 1987?

        I was born closer to Newcastle than Scumberland, and that's all that matters.

              I was born closer to Australia than England. But I'm definitely not a criminal.

                  So true. But so did all of the other intervening years. But I'm after what 1987 and 2013 share, that doesn't exist for all of the other years in between. :)

                    I did this same thing about nine years ago. I simply wrote "anniversary" on the calendar and my wife spent the entire day trying to figure out what it was the anniversary of.

                                    I never even thought about that, but realized after reading your post that I'm in the same boat. My children made sure to remind me how old I was all day on Sunday when I became the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

                                    I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                        That's been true for me since I was 11. Now, stop talking and finish your cereal, youngster... How's this one - all of the ships I was ever on in the Navy have long-since been decommissioned - even the one on which I was a plank owner (I was a member of the original crew when it was commissioned).

                                          I realised at the weekend that I was born closer to the end of World War2 than to today. That is so scary, especially as growing up WW2 seemed such an age away.

                                          I was born 4 years after the war ended.
