    Probably swinging from a rafter, or worse still, working for the Blair Foundation. Or he's Dan Hodges, which sort of combines the first two.

    His name wasn't Dan. He's not on the Blair Foundation's staff page either.

    Nor does he appear to still be where he used to work.

    Oh, I didn't know we'd got as far as names. He's probably in the City then. Or a teacher.

    Wedge found a picture of him in 2009 and compared it to shooting an elephant. I miss him.

    Oimoi was an excellent poster but he was a proper wanker.

    I was on holiday for the London bombings and found out off someone tearing out of the hotel bar looking horrified and announcing it the pool area in that sort of half rambling, not quite getting to the point way that a smacked child would use.

    "IT'S HORRIBLE, OH MY GOD IT... IT WAS BUSES AND THE SUBWAY. THEY'RE HURT, SO MANY OF THEM ARE HURT."

    For the Paris attacks I was sitting in a pub (as I had been all evening) when I suddenly noticed 'Over 100 dead' on the TV in the background and some French people weeping. I pointed it out to my mate, and he said 'This will be revenge for Jihadi John'. I made my excuses and went to get a kebab.

    I remember seeing something on the news and thinking I can't really handle this much abject horror of an evening, so I turned the England game off and watched the news instead.

Thank the lord for Football Italia which stayed strong through the hysteria.
    My dad left a silly note for my sister which said something like 'Gone out for milk. Diana is dead.'

    Like you say all football was cancelled, but my local team played their friendly anyway. One of the players dislocated his shoulder and my dad had to drive him to A&E. I went too and remember it well.

    That's not too bad (assuming you are about 30)....How old you? I started seeing grey hairs when I was about 30... which I thought was about normal.

    I've been grey at the sides for years, got some grey in the beard too. People seem to make a big deal of it but I'm not sure I've ever cared less about anything.

    I wouldn't worry about it. I vividly remember finding my first one at about 23 and having a minor mental breakdown about it. I turned 30 a couple of months ago and it's never gotten any worse really. I'll just find the occasional, offending grey hair, and because my hair is very dark they're easy to spot and pull out. To be honest, as long as it doesn't start to fall out it can go whatever colour it wants for me.

    I got my first grey when I was 18 or 19.

    I've got a fair few which aren't too visible unless you go looking for them, I can see them all incredibly clearly.

    I pluck any greys I get in my beard.

    I have an uncle who went completely grey when he was 17 or 18 which must have been awful.

    I wish I had this problem, I'm three decade in now and I'm no closer to being able to grow one. It's never going to happen, is it?

    I suppose, with the whole going grey thing, at least we're lucky enough to be male. We can pull it off. It can be "distinguished", or whatever. Thank George Clooney. People look at women like they've lost their mind if they don't start dying their hair as soon as the grey becomes visible.

    On the plus side I still get asked for ID at the bar on a semi-regular basis, which I like to take as a huge compliment now. So it's not all bad.

    I got mega cramp whilst having sex the other day - that was a weird one. Probably more to do with being unfit, rather than old. Or both.

    My greys probably started showing around 28, although I didn't notice them til a year or two later. They're at the side and if I keep my hair short, they tend to blend nicely into my brown hair.

    Plucking the grey out of ya beard? Lunatic behaviour.

    I've got a fair few greys coming through and am going for the full salt and pepper facial hair.

    If you're bald you've got to be a proper man to pull it off like Stone Cold. If you're grey you've got to be suave like Charlie from Casualty.
