Date of arrival.
 
I found an old (very old) passport this morning, whilst looking for something else.
I found that, looking inside, I first arrived in Dubai on the 3rd May 1983, something which, as I remember it well enough, was rather alarming to discover...

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

Although I don't get visits from the Man from Porlock, I am expecting a delivery of 'Falling Over Water' from the Man from Ajman!

I hadn't even been thought about. In fact, my sister might not have even been and she's 4 years older.

Scamp- what I struggle with is that people born in th 90's are actually old enough to drink alcohol- thats just not right in my head...

It won't be long before we are all called dinosaurs from the last century.

I know 88 is not much before the 90's but I agree.

Someone born in 1993 could be at the pub next to me, as you say; it's just wrong.
