Drimble asks: When was it last brought home to you just how old you're getting? We last asked this in 2004, and you're eight years older now. Eight. Years.

I feel I'll be posting a lot in this one
First maths lesson at secondary school we were introduced to two pieces of technology that we were assured would be necessary in our later lives. The Comptometer (a mechanical adding machine) and the slide rule.
When I finally did my GCE maths I was allowed a calcuator - which cost the equivalent of 1/4 of a skilled man's wages at the time, for which I carried THREE spare PP9 batteries, just in case.
