how old are you?

[MSTRS:Me]

All this nostalgia....Mark1 Zephyr's were still almost new, I watched the Wahine go down, and as a young Republican I registered my complaint with the Monarchy by refusing to stand for the anthem at the 'flicks'.

My memory is different MSTRS,I was a teenager when the Wahine went down,
Mk4 Zephyrs were around then (MOT had them)
Cop cars were grey with a single blue light on the roof.
10 cents could get you a piece of fish and some chips
A pie was 25 cents.
Petrol was 36 cents a gallon (under 9 cents a litre).
3rd party insurance was part of your rego fee.
I protested against raising the level of Lake Manapouri.
1/2 dozen BIG bottles of beer was $1:97
Cars needed a valve-grind every 40,000 miles (70,00km) or so the gargres said.

Isn't it amazing the things one forgets... And when movies had an "intermission".

Yeah but that was 1968 not 1958

There was a time when *some* of us didn't mind being trapped in part of an 18 year old's body

Yeah but I thought you were talking about Mk1 Zephyrs and the Wahine in the same breath. (i.e. at the same time span)

Im turning 21 soon. But I still find it hard to act my age

[feistyredhead]

When I'm scrambling around the floor chasing, roaring at and being sat on by my giggling two- and three-year-old boys, I feel around three years old myself. Afterwards, when my back aches from having two kids jumping on it and I'm sweating and having difficulty breathing, I feel around ninety.

damn i know that feeling and i am only 28 and have 2 more than you ...and with one cooking...damn that reminds me i must get the stud fixed.

wait till you hit 46 and still haven't grown up.

[hXc]

There are several amongst us who undershoot this target. One in particular is staggeringly and prodigiously literate...

Why, thankyou Sir Hitcher.

Real age - 14
Age I act - Anything from 3-14
Age of the person I feel - 14
Riding age - Just over a year
Shoe size - 10

And I'm still growing...

[vifferman]

Does Mrs BigDave give you shit about this too?

[hXc]

Like some guy said once.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional

Cool! So you were born in 1973? Damn, you do look fine for a 32 year old!! I'd even go as far as to say that you've got the body of a 16-17 year old! Ummm... how was growing up as a teen through the 1980s? Like, was it fully rad??
