I realised at the weekend that I was born closer to the end of World War2 than to today.
That is so scary, especially as growing up WW2 seemed such an age away.

I'd never thought of that. Coming my way in three years.

So that's not you in your profile pic then?

I had a tough paper round as a kid. Please be kind.

So if my Maths are correct you are 32 now?

This year I will have known my wife longer than not ( Does this sentence make sense ?)
BTW, what is World War 2 ?

I did this same thing about nine years ago. I simply wrote "anniversary" on the calendar and my wife spent the entire day trying to figure out what it was the anniversary of.

I have been with my wife over half her life.
She has lived with me more than she lived with her family.
Finally, I own her.
(Yeah right, truth is, She owns me, and I am happy to be hers).

I was born closer to Aunty's first day at the office than today. She's 90 tomorrow.

I was born closer to Australia than England. But I'm definitely not a criminal.

On January 1st, we will begin the year 2013. Do you know what it has in common with 1987?

Yes, 1987 started on January 1st also.

So true. But so did all of the other intervening years. But I'm after what 1987 and 2013 share, that doesn't exist for all of the other years in between.

Is it that 1987 + 2013 = 4000?
|

Just googled so I won't spoil it for others.

Thanks.

+/- 13 yrs from 2000? So bad luck both ways???

Not quite what I'm after, but the +/- 13 years is true.

Exactly. All four digits for the year are unique. This has not happened since 1987.

I never even thought about that, but realized after reading your post that I'm in the same boat.
My children made sure to remind me how old I was all day on Sunday when I became the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

That's been true for me since I was 11. Now, stop talking and finish your cereal, youngster...
How's this one - all of the ships I was ever on in the Navy have long-since been decommissioned - even the one on which I was a plank owner (I was a member of the original crew when it was commissioned).

I've been able to say that for all of my life bar one day!
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Wow. On this site you have mental images/ideas of what posters are like. I have always assumed you to be roughly in your 20's
