When you were 20...

[Lorns]

I wouldn't trust Square eyes to give you the bumps.

When I was 20 I was in my 2nd year of uni for half the year, then in my 3rd year of uni for the other half. And although I can remember what I did on my 18, 19, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th, I can't for the life of me think what I actually did on my 20th.

[Lorns]

goodness. The members on here really older than i imagined. Next you'll be telling me that TVMercia is in his 50s and not 17 ( i'm being kind) like i've always imagined. Mind you if TVM is in his 50's it would explain why he's a moany git.

Did ya know that you don't get another year older, you get another year wiser.

Oh yeah, when I was 20, in August something called Metropol started to replace the TV Forum lounge and I joined that. There we go, I did something that year.

I've just hit 26 this past Saturday. Somehow it feels way older all of a sudden - officially mid 20s

I got there in June. Definitely makes you go, "oh, crud." Well, it did me, anyway.

I turned twenty during my first few months on TVF... I found twenty to be an odd age - you're kind of in limbo, no longer a teenager, but somehow not quite considered a proper adult.

On the other hand, I thought that being twenty-one was great. People harp on about wanting to be eighteen again, but I'd far rather go back to twenty-one. Was in a much happier place at twenty-one than at eighteen.

Yeah, I have to agree that the biggest non-event of my life was being 20. Nothing at all positive happened during it, I still, even after several hours down the pub to think about it, can't remember what I did on my 20th bday.

21 I did love to pieces. I was finally a proper adult, and as a year it went pretty well, down to me ending it on a note of starting my teacher training and generally doing quite well.

22 I could live with, holding onto the thought that I was 21 last year, but my 'oh shit' moment for me must have been turning 23, when I realised that I was now a proper adult, and there was no going back to being a yoof. I'm now just about surviving being 24, with some refusal to accept that I'm getting older (like taking my summer holiday this year at Butlin's)

And frankly, once I become an old fart like you Kat, I don't know what I'll do

Many happy returns for your 20th!!

I had a big party down my local, and cut my head on the door as I left the pub.

Start mowing over disrespectful yoofs with your zimmer frame?

[TG]

With ya there Kat.

Let's get the young whippersnapper....

Honestly Kat. Zimmer frames are sooo yesterday!!
I'm going for one of those battery scooters and then soup it up. I'll put a hood onnit too so i can go out in the rain. Then you can knock those yoofs down like skittles.

I seem to remember a sketch on BBC THREE a while back which showed some geriatrics doing a "smash and grab" raid on their local supermarket in those motorised carts (all wearing hoodies of course). I'll be doing that before you!
