OK, you got me on that one.

YKYGO when you are in a restaurant, the people at the next table are talking to the waitress, trying to remember which Robert was in "Wag the Dog", and you realise the waitress is probably too young to remember Bill Clinton's little problem . . .

I recently had an eery experience there. The guy heading the relocation team reviewed the finished work with me and asked if I wanted to stay put at this appartment. I said, OK, at 43 you want to get settled and all that... He said, what, you're only 43? You know, I am only 46 myself. And we looked at each other and we both knew why that was painful for him to see.

Hard physical labour, day in, day out REALLY makes you get older fast.
