      Clinging onto my 30s by my fingernails !

      I know quite a few real oldie contractors who rely on having hazy CVs with no age and no pre 90s experience on there and then shock the clients with their decrepit appearance on arrival. BUT in Tony and Gordon's reduced red tape fairer non ageist Britain they are now having to produce ID before you can even get an interview ( or not ! ).

        Mmmmm....old men....lovely

        Being in my 20s, my buttocks are still firm and rosy, and I'm a favourite with middle-aged women.

                You poor sod. I guess it's the old story - need to drill a hole in a piece of wood, no bench handy, so just pop the wood on your lap and start drilling... Happens all the time.

                  I thought in computer terms 25 and you were past it. So I retired at this age.

                  Then 25 and 1 day realized that I did not have enough money for the week.

                  Now I'm the fine old age of 34 and still working..
