Well that time of the year has come around where one ages a year, still don't look a day over 15 though - does cause some problems in pubs but strangely enough not the Weatherspoons ones.

so woooooooooo, :)

Happy Birthday :D

I'm surprised how rarely people reveal their birthdays on here actually.

Actually a lot do - look on the main page and you will often find a birthday or two listed, as people have put it in their profile.

Ajax103 do you really still get IDd!? I was once asked at 27 but that was in the States where the drinking age was 21.

Went to a pub for the annual Christmas dinner organised by some of my former colleagues and I went to place a order for a round of drinks only to be ID'ed, didn't think much of the pub not because of that but because the food was not even worth one star, McDonalds would have been better!

I remember getting stopped in Sainsburys in Great Yarmouth when I was 21, found a dvd for a fiver with a 15 age restriction, basically a WW2 film with Donald Pleasance and Michael Caine, went to cashier only for cashier to refuse to sell it as I was "under 15 yrs old".
Still brought it there after the store manager had to intervene after I complained.

Still, got my first Italian restaurant visit in two weeks time - really looking forward to it :)

Damn your thread, when I read the title I got excited about a little sulzer thrashing around somewhere. Never mind, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday ;), although If I were you I would be happy that I was asked for ID, although now that its the "Over 25 rule (but still 18 )" its a lot harder for people to see how old people are.

Although now you're double unluckly :D, same as me (sorry bad joke)

Geordie back from exile.
I was 26 in 1992 and that was the date I was officially classed in rail terms as 'adult'. I was no longer eligible to renew my young persons railcard and it cut like a knife (actually it might have been a 16-24 railcard so it might have been when I was 25....can't remember now). It also put a stop to my summer railrovers and in fact the following year instead of a 2 week railrover I took my first ever flight (to Corfu courtesy of a British Caledonian 757). It's been 18 years now and I still miss those summer days. Enjoy them while you can :D Oh and happy birthday by the way.

Happy Birthday mate!

If you want to look older than your age, consider growing a beard - I've done that and because it makes me look older (I'm 19), it means I'm not ID'd in shops and pubs as much as some people.
