Will JOM Make the 20,000?

[Baldy]

Birth date: 11 Jan 1975
Today's date: 5 Sep 2013

You are 14117 days old.
Which is 2016 weeks and 5 days.
That's 38 years and 237 days, including 10 leap years*,
or 38 years, 33 weeks and 6 days.
In other words, that's 464.03 months.
Therefore, you are 38.65 years old.
You were born on a Saturday, your last birthday was a Friday
and your next one will be on a Saturday.

 

I just said to BM the other day (honestly Grumpy) that I thought you were a youngster - in the nicest possible way

So you lot - who is the ''official' youngest and who the oldest?

I think Miss T is the youngest,,,,,,,,

I should think Darwin is the oldest.... 

By a country mile...

His driving licence is written in Latin...

And he can read it! 

And no stonemasons left to add endorsements. 

Ahem, I can do that 

Me too.

thought JOM was referring to his 19207 posts and would he make 20,000 of those

BTW is it wise to post your birthdate on line seeing as how it's often a main security check used by some phone centres?

It is already in the calendar for most of us....

... plus multiple 'Happy Birthday' threads sort of give the game away....

That''d be the calendar only visible to signed up members you have IP addresses for

Your choice but after the cabinet office security expert said don't do give your birthdate away I thought I'd at least pass the warning on.

He only said it to defend the fact that most of the time it is the government organisations that give away all the information... like.

OK rather than eff up the active DS thread I'll reply here

Do you want me to PM you about the member over at *koff* who posted his DOB on line and got his bank accounts hacked by a vengeful poster intent on revenge?

Not particularly, no....

I'm sure it can happen but (maybe) being a bit thicko here myself wouldn't the hacker (vengeful or otherwise) need to know your official name - or at least the one you have a bank account or similar in?

Sensible not sneering answers please 

[Steve]

Yep

It's really up to posters what they do but having seen it go wrong, having seen that warning last year and recalling how often I've been asked for DOB as a key security check (incl Visa fraud last week) then to me the right thing was to pass the warning on.

BM etc can throw whatever they like at me for doing so.   Sun will still rise tomorrow

Oooooohhhhh don't take offence Steve  No bucket's raining down as far as I can see.

Seriously though wouldn't 'whoever' need to know your proper full name and a few other details ?

I agree about the lacksy daisy type of key security checks though - if it was someone out to get me who knew me reasonably well they would know most of the answers I suppose but having a non English mothers maiden name might get the buggers 

Let me pour you a cuppa
