Whatever lyndal's age, I'm with you, tippy*toes (taking you seriously for a moment), in saying that the 90s are not old. It's just a good beginning on the way to a decently respectable and venerable old age laden with centuries, where one becomes imbued with wisdom through the osmosis of experience. (Alternatively, if one doesn't learn, one becomes a very foolish older person whom the sere years have failed to inform and whose dentures clack with each incongruous cackle.)
None of us should be defined by or seen mostly through the prism of age! I can become quite impassioned on the subject... although I'm wary of (justly) falling foul of David Mitchell's "passion" rant. At least I'm not passionate about optimising tax.
