Not until April.
Stop thinking your old then and get yourself down the local nightlclub...stick the kids and mrs in a cupboard they will be fine
Didn't you see the survey that said that the maximum acceptable age for visiting a night club is 37.
I've visited more nightclubs since the age of 37 than I ever did before! But then I have never much minded being unacceptable.

Just had a Teams mesaage from a young female member of my team, asking me why older male team members are discussing grades of pencil in the office today

Unless you're some kind of pencil artist, why wouldn't you just use an HB?

Present her with a couple of Tombow Mono100's* and a decent sharpener. Tell her 'when you've finished those, come back and we'll discuss the relative merits of manual vs mechanical pencils
'
* the world's finest pencils for 'hi-precision drafting'. Fact.

She's a mechanical design engineer but of the generation of CAD and FEA modelling, she'd be confused with a pencil and drawing.board!!

It wasn’t till I got a grey car that I noticed how many grey cars are on the road.
