AIBU to be absolutely shattered that the new PM is younger than I am. (Only just).

It's a very weird experience. My whole life,people in authority have always been older than I am.

Me too - Makes me realise that I actually am
middle aged

Is it shallow of me to find this almost as perturbing as the Tories bring in power in the first place?!

WynkenBlynkenandNod · 12/05/2010 07:29

Cameron is a little older than me but not much. DH was 40 yesterday and it was very weird to spend a fair part of his birthday evening watching our generation go about forming government

Lonnie · 12/05/2010 07:38

oh gosh I went to look after that and he is only 4 year old than me that feels odd to be truthful so absolutely no YANBU

May ask dh how it feels lol you know get his morning off to a "good" start

BouncingTurtle · 12/05/2010 07:43

At least he isn't 15 years old like my MP!

He will look cute next to Obama.

That is the only consolation.

CaptainUnderpants · 12/05/2010 08:09

He's younger than me ! Only by a few months though .

thisismyclone · 12/05/2010 12:50

He's old enough to be my dad

thank fuck he isn't though...

OrmRenewed · 12/05/2010 12:52

Everyone is younger than I am these days. DS#1's tutor is 12. No really!

mumblechum · 12/05/2010 12:53

He's 4 years YOUNGER than me.

sfxmum · 12/05/2010 12:55

he is older than me quit but I am sure it is the last time that will ever happen

sfxmum · 12/05/2010 12:56

not sure where quit came from possibly Tourettes

LisaD1 · 12/05/2010 12:57

Phew! Had to google him then to see if he was younger than me! He's not, but not much older, still older will have to do!

CJCregg · 12/05/2010 12:57

He's younger than me. Bugger. Not much, but it hurts.

I remember when Tony Blair got in, everyone saying what a 'young' PM he was at 43, and I thought WTF were they talking about, 43 wasn't young. Read it and weep ...

NormalityBites · 12/05/2010 12:58

Noone has mentioned how old he is!

poshtottie · 12/05/2010 13:01

I thought the same. You know you're getting old when PM is younger than you!

5Foot5 · 12/05/2010 13:02

I think he is 43.

Somewhat younger than me too!!

Nick Clegg looks even younger.

Oh well, at least Vince Cable must be able to give me a few years yet.

CaptainUnderpants · 12/05/2010 13:50

Cameron October 1966
Clegg January 1967

PeedOffWithNits · 12/05/2010 14:43

give em 3 12 months and they'll both look MUCH older and greyer than they do now, poor buggers!

deaddei · 12/05/2010 14:45

He could be my toyboy.

Downdog · 12/05/2010 14:52

Angels - congratulations. You are now a person of authority

It's v scary - he was born in the same year as most of the boys we hung around with when I was in the 6th form. Who knows, he may have been one of them on Eton Bridge, where we used to hang out - nooooooooo...
