50 and corrupted, totally corrupted.

As my body ages my mind becomes younger. I was quite adult and responsible when I was younger, I am a lot less responsible now.

I would put my mental age at about 5 possibly 10 on a bad day.

Don't you know it's rude to ask a lady her age....
but I'm definitely not a lady, so the answer is
38 :)

But, played my first game of netball tonight since I was 14, so tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I'll probably be feeling at least, oh I don't know.....

58 !!!!!!!!!

What date in November?

This side of the admin team is 22 years old.

The mind / brain / peanut on the inside of this side of the admin team is probably rated for somewhere between 8 and 13 years old.

The hat that sits on top of the mind / brain / peanut of this side of the admin team is around 2 years old.
