I'd be dubious of the 'research', but I'd say it pretty much holds true. If nothing else I have an awful lot of comic books to get through :lol:

I still regard it as 40.
I'm going to be so grumpy on my 40th Birthday.

I plan to get older without ever growing up, so it's immaterial really. ;)

Unless you are a hairdresser and can buy an MX5 at any time.

In all seriousness I don't think middle age today is what it used to be. People are looking younger longer and dressing as though they are still in their teens in to their 70s.

The only way I know I'm getting older is more aches and pains. I still feel 18 and still act it sometimes :D

This does mean that I bought mine 15 years too early.
