I’ve been quietly contemplating the passage of time this week, what with it being my birthday yesterday and all. The big celebration, of course, will be on Saturday (you are coming to the pub, aren’t you? It’s a better pub than it is website, I promise).
26 might not be the rock star death age or anything, but it seems, to me at least, to be a significant step nonetheless, what with it being definitely closer to 30 than it is to 20. At 25 I could cling vainly to the notion that I was still part of that all important 18-25 “youth” target market. Alas, that is no longer the case.
No longer eligible to enter Pop Idol, or buy tickets from STA Travel, this week I renewed my Young Person’s Railcard for the last time. Even worse, yesterday we all had to fill in a survey at work and I had to place myself in the 26 – 35 age group. It’s all downhill from here, isn’t it?

Hey–you can renew your railcard on your last day of being 26 and use it through age 27. Don’t despair :)
Sadly, you can’t: you can renew it on the last day of being 25 (which is what I did) and use it until it runs out (http://www.youngpersons-railcard.co.uk/faqs/faqs_right.htm#13)
Holy cow–the reason I said that was because I forgot to renew mine on the last day I could. I thought it was last September, but it must have been a year ago last September when I was cursing myself for forgetting and all of my friends were laughing at me for forgetting. Has it really been that long?
