It felt like a bit of a different time back then - I think now people might think it was a bit inappropriate but not so much then!

I spoke to him on MSN from age 14, and then we met up for the first time when we were 16. He got new through some tough times during that period, and I like to think I did the same for him!

Do you still have any contact with him?
 
Yes! He lives in Shanghai now. I see him every couple of years when he comes to visit. He's doing really well!

Tell him his favourite Bristolumpian says hello

And if he doesn't remember calling me that, I never said it.
 
God, he's about the same age now I was when I used to speak to him... :bruised:
 
Conclusion: 75% of Moopy is aged between 30 and 44, which we could have guessed.

Coming up: what's your shoe size and why we shouldn't talk about it.
 
Revealing my shoe size means I'll also have to reveal how shoe shop assistants have occasionally advised me to check the women's or (even more mortifyingly) CHILDREN'S section when I have trouble finding trainers that will fit me :goodgrief:

I reckon @Diddy can still beat you for smallest feet on moopy.

I assume we're talking physical age not mental

I'm 38

And it's nice to be in the minority for a change rather than on VR where it's mostly 20somethings and I worry about being some old pervert.
 
I’m thirty but I feel they haven’t truly started yet because of the pandemic (my 30th birthday was literally five days before the first lockdown - everything was cancelled and it was too early in the pandemic to plan a virtual alternative).

Every few weeks I have a small inner crisis about still being in a flatshare with a bunch of twentysomethings but then I just get on with things.

I also feel like the concept of age is a bit more messy if you’re LGBT. Come out late as gay or trans and it almost feels like going through adolescence again. Coming out as gay at 24 and then having revelations about my gender identity at 30 means I am potentially not quite as settled as some my age.

I think this can apply to almost anyone who defies those age-based “marriage and kids” expectations though.

Just turned 39 and don’t feel it at all. It’s weird how mentally you don’t feel any different from how you were at say 25, but at the same time can’t relate to a bunch of 25 year olds, feeling far more comfortable hanging out with the over 50s.

Now being at an age when I remember my own parents at this age, I can’t help comparing. As both my parents lost their parents really young, I suppose they had to grow up a lot faster, whereas I still go to visit my mum and have her cook for me :bad:
