It sounds very poetic - in a dyslexic kind of way.

I hate it when my boss interupts my online time. No consideration, some people.
7:45 p.m., Monday here in case anyone cares. I certainly don't.

40 - 44 4
45 - 49 2
50 - 55 0
I personally feel that too much emphasis given to youth, for example how can a 18-24 offer more than a 35-39?

Since the introduction of the new Contributory parent visa there may now be more 'younger' 'older' people migrating than when this poll started. (does that make sense?).
There are also more people retiring early.
In the past there was a several year wait for parent visas so most would probably be past retirement age.
My wife and I are in our early 50s and I doubt if that age group would have been well represented before as reirement visas are not even available until age 55.
Feel old among you lot though

I am 20 but my birth certificate states I was born in 1968 for some reason
.
When I look in the mirror I wonder who that old bird is looking at me 'till I realise it's me!!!!
hubby is 38, kids 5 and 8 years.
