There's an international sign in book and I figured there's not a lot of people from the U.K. here so we should adverise the ones who are! Everyone from the U.K. please sign in once and tell us a bit about yourself, where your from and what your goals are :)

nope it's when reality walks up to you in the street and kicks you in the nuts...

it's when the word mortgage becomes a reality and a worry...

it's when you realise that jobs can come and go...

it's when you realise that middle aged divoricies have been divorced for a reason...

it's when everything you dreamed of being begins to fade and looks harder and harder to acheive...

it's when you haven't had a holiday in four years and know you won't have another for the next 2 years cause your not only moving but saving for a wedding...

it's when drinking a lot of beer has consequences(besides hangovers), like pains in your stomach...

it's when younger friends & family members say nice things like "Woh, you're getting a lot of gray hair"...

it's trying to convince yourself that aging is no big thing cause it happens to everyone when you know your talking crap...

it's growing apart from your childhood friends cause you've changed and so have they...

it....it sucks really :(

some of my asian mates have some grey hair and theyre 22-24. dont know if thats cos theyre asian and its common or just stressed out!

its odd some of you mention women looking younger than their age. i find that the girls my age (22) could be 26/27 for all i know. until they open their mouths that is.

These days you need to ask for passports to be on the safe side.

One of my friend did catch one girl out who was trying to make out she was like 20 or something by, deep into converstion, asked what GCSE's she was doing and before thinking she reeled them off. He just laffed at her and walked off
