Right this very moment, I'm officially OLD. :-) Yep. I can no longer join in any junior competitions cause I'm now at two-zero. Now I'm competing with the big boys now. Oh well... I guess I'm growing older each day. :-)

Happy birthday!
You beat me with some months Ralph... :-) Well about the mental age, my SWMBO keeps telling me I´m stuck in the stone age.

Happy Birthday Shonen! You're as old as you feel. About 90 at the moment :-) .
Just think in the USA you’re still too young to lawfully enjoy a beer on your Birthday! :-)
Cheers

Congratulations. Live it everyday.

Happy birthday Ralph
20, 30, 40 etc. It doesn't matter. Your hobby will keep you young. Playing with tanks, cars, figures, ships or aeroplanes will keep you young forever.

20? 20? Man I was married and had a kid on the way by the time I was 20! Get out there and pay your debt to society. Get a job, get married and have a bunch of kids! But before you do, have a great birthday and enjoy the heck out of it!

20? You think that is old? :-)
I have been wearing an Army uniform almost as long as you have been alive. Enjoy your twenties, they fly by and then you end up wondering where they went.
Happy Birthday!!!
