Age Old Wisdom
A discussion on age last night, oh what stimulating and riveting conversations we do have, it must mean we're getting old!!!
"oooh American Beauty, I love that film. I remember when it came out I went to see it with 2 of my friends at the cinema, and we giggled when we got in because we were 16 or 17 and it was an 18 film, and they didn't ask us for ID, and we were like: tee hee we didnt' get asked for ID I can't believe it!!"
Mike looked critically at me, I pondered whether he was assessing exactly WHAT he was going out with
"I think you could look anywhere between 18 and 30"
"Are you saying I look 30?" I looked offended
"no, I'm saying you could look a range of ages because women don't age like men do"
"I don't get it, and by the look on Nic's face, neither does she!"
"Oh I don't know, I think women can be more flexible with their age than men...I don't think I could pass for 30"
"Do you mean, that with today's make up, girls who are 13 who slap it on could easily pass for 18?"
"Sort of, but not really. I just think you could say to someone you were 20, or 25 or 30 and no one would question it, you could pass for any of them"
"If you shave your beard and moustache off, you look younger. In fact, you could pass quite easily for 14!!!"

Haha, or even better, how about the time when we tried to get into that club in Bristol and when challenged you said, 'but I never usually have any problems geting in and I go here all the time!' (just after I'd handed the bouncer the ID card proving I was 4 days too young to get in!!).
I got told the other day that I look 20 :D - always nice when this happens in a non-pub-have-you-got-a-drivers-licence-context. Someone asked Dunc once whether he was my Dad - ???!!! I didn't know what to make of that: I know that his hairline can put a few years on him, but the guy can't seriously have been suggesting that he looked over 40?!! (As it was coming back from a prospective councillor candidate selection meeting he knew I had to be at least 21).
