    More like the 15th anniversary of my 30th birthday. But what the hell, it sure beats the alternative...

    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Does it make you feel better that I am a pessimistic, sceptical, cynical, Machiavellian 15 year old?? Yet I am always optimistic about myself, not out of arrogance or naivety, but simply out of necessity, as living pessimistically is difficult unless you are like me, who is only pessimistic about everything else, such as the world and people around themselves.

    So, with 80 votes, 55% of backroom responders report being between 15-25.

    That's an interesting shift from 5 years ago, when the average reported age here was 26-27. A much higher student population, it seems.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Hey Dave great to see you again. :o)

    Blimey, only 35? You're just a whippersnapper. :)

    or mebbe not.....
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
