remember '76/'77
Wish I could remember what last year was like, I remember some nice days for '77 as I have a picture of me from a company picnic. 🙂
Good lord, I'm surrounded by fogies! I was 1 years old for most of '77.
I was 10.
erm Are we talking about 1877?, 1977, or 2077?
By 2077 I will be 23:-D

Are you applying DBCC TIMEWARP to DOB calculations again?

Yeah, so did I. I also thought Luis was older and I didn't think Grant was actually older than I am. After meeting Grant at SQL Saturday Detroit, I think he thinks young. I hope I do too, but the middle-aged father still comes out - that the "seasoning" that Lynn referred to.

I'm born and raised in Iceland, moved to London few years back, miss the nature and landscape. Well worth the visit, let me know if you are planning a visit.
