Chris Perkins Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Who wouldn't like Kylie Minogue. I'm 32, but I haven't always been. Quote

Peter Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 I will stick to the wife...if it ain't broke.... Quote
Peter Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 I sometimes worry that I'm getting old....I can remeber my Dad reaching 50...and I'm almost there. Quote
Red Riley Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I sometimes worry that I'm getting old....I can remeber my Dad reaching 50...and I'm almost there. According to Peter Kaye, you know you have turned into your dad when you put a stick aside for stirring paint...Sadly I've got loads of paint stirring sticks secreted in various locations but I'm getting to the point now that I forget where I've put them.

SionGilbey Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Funnily enough, both my granny and my mum used to say that. It made a pair with the rainy day "Look - enough blue [in the sky] to mend a Dutchman's trousers" My family variation on that was 'enough blue to make a sailor a pair of trousers'.Yes, we were told the sailor variant also - except it was 'mend' in both cases, not 'make' (perhaps it was a smaller patch of blue sky? )My mother always said "It's going to be sunny if there's enough sky to make an Englishman's trousers" followed by "Bloody Englishmen". This was all in Welsh of course. Quote

As a Scouser we were always told that they were the "unfriendly lot" - mind you, putting up with scousers trailing through your country must be a bit irritating! Quote

hertfordian Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 42 here. I must be getting old as I can increasingly see what Victor Meldrew was going on about these days....Must be to do with having three daughters.... Quote
Sylvester Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Ha now there's the thing. When I first joined this forum I was 19... I'm now 26, I don't know quite where those years went mind but the strange thing is I now feel younger than I did back then! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 As one of the founding members (back in the days when basically you me and young Oli used to use the forum for 3 way conversations!) you deserve a medal for that!And, so many interesting and very useful contributions too. I remain in your debt Sylvester. Top man.I think I was 25/26 when I started this. 32 now, and what a wonderful resource this place has become. Quote
Sylvester Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 As one of the founding members (back in the days when basically you me and young Oli used to use the forum for 3 way conversations!) you deserve a medal for that!Ha I remember those days Chris! What ever happened to Oli I wonder? To my mind a few others came later William, Master JMD etc. There may have been others, it was a while ago.Well I always try to keep topics ticking along, in my own unique way. Quote
Peckris Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Ha I remember those days Chris! What ever happened to Oli I wonder? To my mind a few others came later William, Master JMD etc. I joined briefly in 2005 before rediscovering these joys in 2009, and back then Master JMD was one of the leading lights here (quite a youngster wasn't he?). Whatever happened to the young fellow? Quote

Whatever happened to the young fellow?Yes he was a lot younger. About 11 or so I think (IIRC) when he joined (about 2003/4), I haven't seen or heard anything from him for a long time. He was here until around 2005/6, maybe longer, but I left for while when I was busy with university and work (+ lost my internet connection for several months), by the time I came back he'd left. As have many others. Quote
Hussulo Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I'm 31 and joined in 2006. This was the first coin forum I joined and remains one of my favourites. Quote
