magnetman is 43, just seen it in another thread. Any advance on 43? I think gazza and thebfg might be younger than me, and d9. I'm 6 3/4 in my head, I just have the bladder of an old man.

But I think it maybe close. We are of similar age. I've No idea how old d9 is. I have pondered who maybe the youngest. I'm not as young as I used to be and am creeping up the years now.

Just as some people hate use of the word "gotten", so I hate people who say "younger than me" when of course what they should be saying is "younger than I".Β I believe both forms are accepted as correct usage of language. Younger than me = what people actually say in day to day conversation. Younger than I = grammatically correct. I tend to go with modern usage rather than archaic personally. I think some form members are younger than me. I think some forum members are younger than I am.

Itβs good that we are getting some lessons in English which I had forgotten that I had gotten in my school days

I've No idea how old d9 is. I have pondered who maybe the youngest. One of my boys is a Thunderboat member although he's only made a couple of posts and hasn't logged on for a while (he's got better things to do than hang around with a bunch of chip-shouldered sweary weirdos ) and he's 19 so I'd imagine he's the youngest member.

Just as some people hate use of the word "gotten", so I hate people who say "younger than me" when of course what they should be saying is "younger than I". I just get perplexed now with so many people being "younger than me" or, worse still, "younger than I" ...
