30 is positively young as far as some of us are concerned !
So's 40....and 50....(Sigh !!)  ;)

Cheers - Phil.

Trouble is I still think I'm about 25 but my body at time feels like I'm 60 :( ;).

30? OLD????

I may as well go and shoot myself now, put me out of my misery ;)

As for chasing girls, I for one am personally glad that aspect of my life is behind me. :) Women are far too expensive a commodity ;D :D ;D
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

way more expensive than metal  >:(

34 in June.

@Techno: I was lucky enough to learn from Gentlemen your age a lot of things during my life. The insanity to hire only 18 years old with short skirts has driven our economy where it is now. Personally I always listen to advice of the older generation. It may seem outdated at times and working with computers is often not the strength, wisdom definately is.

We need ALL generations and views to form a sane oppinion.

You're never too old to learn from the youngsters, however, so the process is a two-way street.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

The thing with age is, i can become as old as i want, i'll never catch up to you guys  :D

Personally i don't think age matters, i've seen the smartest kids aged 16 and the dumbest oafs aged 60 and vice versa.  ;D

But you'lll learn from each other no matter what , as long as your open to it!

And if you can't learn from someone, then i look at my belt and realize they are still usefull.

Fittingly, my belt has a phrase on it: "i'm not completely useless, i can be used as a bad example"

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

true story!

nope !  :-[
( and I can remember when I was 30 ! )
I did not mean older players, but older than those we spoke !
around  25 to 35 years old  : job, young kids, sports ?... do you have enough  time to paint ?
That's what I meant..  :D

"i'm not completely useless, i can be used as a bad example"
I also like it ! May I borrow this sentence ?

36 not old but really struggle for time to paint. Kids job house all demanding. Personally I'm looking forward to being 50 ish. But not yet  :D
