I'm 27 (pushing that B&S average age up)
Stop it, stop it, STOP IT! Rhys said earlier he was amazed to realise he was one year older to the say than Stuart M, well I am HORRIFIED to report that this is looked after by someone who is TEN years minus one day older than Sarah. Yes that's 33, and an ex-astronomer who now looks after the computers at the Univ of Edinburgh. Now I bet you all want to unsubscribe. This age distribution is skewed horribly I reckon (I hope!) by people either too young or more likely too old wanting to admit it. Please someone come out and pretend to be older than me or something. Or give me a medal for still liking decent music and caring at my age. Or something. Someone mentioned about wearing pigtails to shock people in 62 and how it was another world then. Well, ask Linda, I tied my hair back in a ponytail the other day and my Dad (30 proud years as a Cadbury's personnel manager) nearly had a heart seizure. I'm trying the pigtails idea next week. Anyway, keep the Tigermilks coming, I am adding them up, very impressed and hoping to forget all this age stuff until someone admits they're over 40 at which point I will cease to fear I'm about to go out and buy a Neil Diamond LP. I'm actually much more interested in the *gender* spread of the list, but too shy to ask. Paul mailto:owner-sinister@majordomo.net P.S.
