Bah...
As I haven't had sex since dinosaurs roamed the earth, I don't have much to add to this week's QOTW. However...

By a quirk of genetics, I'm fortunate enough to not quite look my age, which is 34. I could pass for late 20s on a good day. I've just been to see one of the lecturers where I work, who I have never met before and have had the following conversation...

"Hi Dr A, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about your spectroscopy course?"

"Certainly, are you in my first or second year group?"

"Erm, actually, I teach your second year course..."

Naturally, being mistaken for a undergraduate (*) put me in a rather jolly frame of mind. Eager to share my new found youthfulness, I stuck my head round my office door, recounted the prior conversation and finished by saying "So to celebrate, I think I might go out and fuck a 20 year old."

I probably should have checked that my tutees weren't standing behind the door before I delivered that gem. Tomorrow morning's problem class could prove interesting.

fucksocks.

(*) Because as I was informed, Dr A had forgotten his glasses today.

Hmmmm...
*gives Rakky the look over tops of glasses*

So when are you coming back over to this side of the ocean?...

Possibly next march. You'll be the third to know, after my mum and my parole officer.

I've been told...
On more than one occasion, and by more than one person that I look no older than 27 :)

I'm 40.

Mind you, with the beard, I look older (probably 50 or so)

Conversely, a friend of mine
Who has had the mixed blessing of excessive testosterone, and hence has been going bald since the age of about 17, was accosted whilst walking past something like the East India Club near Marylebone. This old gent came out and started talking to him as if he knew him.

"I'm sorry, I think you've mistaken me for someone else." He politely proferred.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were [name]...he comes in here quite regularly."
"...so you think I'm a man of approximately what age?"
"Oh, about 40."

Rakky, Queen of Mishaps
Well done :p

EDIT: Also, I'm frequently mistaken for being older than I am.

I've no idea how old I look these days
Probably my age. Used to get served alcohol when I was 15 though. Hooray for hitting puberty early =D
( Captain V, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 16:29, closed)

People at work all think
That I'm about 30.
Bastards!
Although I've not ever really had an issue with buying alcohol. Apart from the time that I got refused in Tescos for being too drunk...
Aged 16. What a low-point.
( Cawl, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 16:33, closed)

Really?
I thought you were at least 35.

*runs*

I'm gonna snap you like a twig
You cheeky little fucker!
Just because I'm starting to go grey :(

Oh dear
I didn't realise that *proffers hair dye*
( Captain V, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 16:42, closed)

I blame the awful stress levels
Of my frantic life.

Nah, it's not noticeable yet.
But when it is... *shrugs*
I still won't care.

Good man
Growing old (dis)gracefully is where it's at.
( Captain V, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 16:46, closed)

Sod off!
We're pretty much the same age :p
( Cawl, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 16:52, closed)

I wasn't trying to imply that you're getting old
For that very reason!
( Captain V, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 16:57, closed)

Hahaha!
Well that's fine then :p

P.S. Rakky, he's about the age-range you're looking for...

Oh kaol

You little match maker you.

Nice one Rakky
They'll be anxious to quiz you in the morning!

Luckily I'm only 5-6 years older than my lot, so anything inappropriate wouldn't be weird. Mind you, as 18/19 year olds I still think they're just children.
Anyway, you in Bristol next weekend or the weekend after? All confused I am. And have to make sure I'm out, of course.

Rakky. You've done it again!
But have a click.

I remember the day people stopped saying I looked younger than my age.
*sigh*

Oddly enough, this very afternoon
an invigilator attempted to kick me out an exam hall claiming it wasn't open to students yet and I *must* wait outside along with "everyone else."

I was only there to deliver the exam papers.

For the exam that my students were taking.

After I'd been teaching them all semester.

Still at 34 also, it's nice (I think) to be mistaken for an 18 year old...

You're a bit late though, Rakky. Wasn't the cringe question last week?
