Don't know if there's already a thread floating around t'internet so merge if there is please. Anyway, just wanted to say its my 27th Birthday today. Was born at 1:32am in Royal Victoria Hospital in Dartford after a 25-hour labor where i was born upside-down and blue in the face (always liked causing a scene) during a stormy night. The nurses nicknamed me 'snowflake' at the time, due to the high slow fall that week apparently. Just wanted to say thank you for the support I've recieved from you guys in the last several months as there were a couple of times when I didn't think I'd see my next birthday. I dont wish to harp on but a birthday Is a special occasion so excuse me just this once for bringing my illness back up. I'll be saving a piece of cake and a bowl of jelly and ice cream for you all later thanks.

Could we sticky this in the future, and add a list of everyones' birthdays? It would add a little personal touch to the world of F1 Rejects...

Just over a month away until the East Londoner turns 19 years of age, when the 15th day of February arrives that is.

I wouldn't feel old if I were you. Only a year's difference. But I'm younger than Dark. I expected to be the youngest one here by far when I joined But I wasn't the youngest.
I'm not one who generally likes to reveal stuff like my birthday, as I come from a family of security freaks who work mostly on computers or are retired, but still use computers often
But, I won't make it evident. I'll make you look it up. It's the same birthday as NASCAR driver Paul Menard and GP2 driver Felipe Nasr, in 2000.

Ooh! Snap! Birthday brothers! But I'm eight years older.

Although just 20, I already seem to be rather old here.
My exact birthday is the day after Emerson Fittipaldi made himself a lot less popular in Indianapolis by drinking orange juice in Victory Circle. Also on the exact day I was born Feyenoord secured the Dutch Eredivisie championship by winning at FC Groningen (as a Feyenoorder that is rather important)

Unfortunately these days, it's a very common occurance. I only use this forum as a place to spend on the Internet related to chatting to people. A lot of my classmates, who are 12 or 13 and usually younger than me, already have Facebook and Twitter accounts.
I will never associate myself with Facebook or Twitter unless I happen to become a well known slalom canoer, which I'll have to work ridiculously hard to achieve. Plus, I'll have to focus on a well paying job to fund the ventures around the world that I'd personably like to make. If I get enough money one day, I could spend Memorial Day weekend in Monaco, as the normal slalom racing season starts in May and June
it's nice to be a part of a sport that's so, well, abnormal. It gives me a sense of unique about myself, as basically the only ones who have heard of it are ones who have actually done it or they were a spectator at the Olympics. Or if they're from Slovakia; Slovakia's most successful Olympic sport is canoe slalom.
I apologize for rambling on again, but I like talking about this stuff
I wish I hadn't looked at that list of driver's birthdays, because I've just realised Kimi, Button, Massa, and Alonso are now the four OLDEST drivers on the grid. I remember when these chaps were considered to be the future of F1. Hell, I remember them making their debuts in F1. I'm gonna go away now, I'm feeling very old.

You weren't on the forums when Wmetcalf joined. He was only 9 years of age at the time. It was a massive shock...

Oi! You kids! Get off my lawn! You as well, Eastie, never mind feeling very old, you're still barely out of nappies as well in my book!
I just found out in the relevant RIP thread the other day I share a birthday with John Button as well as Philippe Alliot. And I'll be... *cough* 35 this year.
Every driver on the 2014 F1 grid will be younger than me. I always knew this day was coming.
James Allen, on his favourite F1 engine of all time: "...the Life W12, I can't describe the noise to you, but imagine filling your dustbin with nuts and bolts, and then throwing it down the stairs, it was something akin to that!"
Some says he was born in 1997, other says he born on the same year at 23rd of October. All I know, that is me I'm still searching a driver with the same birthday with me
Rio Haryanto for the win! He upon seeing me accidentaly paint Belgian flag rotated 90 deg to right tommykl returns from the bathroom tommykl reads the chat logs tommykl has a stroke

tommykl wrote:And so it transpires that I never actually was the youngest member here
I never was either, as Mr. Metcalf joined before me. But just wait, we may get younger ones than wmetcalf and myself. We just have to wait for those adventurous crusaders to come upon the happy ending to their quest.
