I'm shocked!
You look 10 years (I would say 15 years) younger!

| I know. It can be annoying at times. Like last year, I was looking forward to my first beer after a three month training session for a marathon (I don't drink when I am in training). So I really wanted a beer after the marathon. And I get asked for ID. Certainly didn't have any on me. Boy, was I pissed!

The US really cracks me up with its obsession with keeping people from drinking alcohol. How bizarre is it that a 39 year old can't order a beer!

| I'm 36 and I regularly get asked for ID when passing through the States. It feels so strange after living in a country where 16 is the legal age for buying beer and wine (18 for booze) and nobody would actually ask you for ID.

| Just turned 56 Nov. 1st. Grew up here in Hawai'i watching them film Hawai'i 5-0 and later in the 80's Magnum. Many my age know of Magnum and of course, 5-0, but younger?! Fugedaboudit! In fact i would say each successive generation is proportionately less and less culturally literate. talk about drinking age and carding, I am still carded when i buy beer. It is a fixation with the local alcohol board. Their absurd stringent rules are ridiculous. Fer example; You can have a pitcher in front of you at a bar. AND a mug of beer. AND a shot of tequila. BUT! You can NOT have two green bottles in front of you. That is called stacking and a bartender can get fired and the bar, fined. Stew PEED!

Just joined the site, so thought this would do as my intro:)
31 year old Irish guy, big A-team fan. Always remembered magnum being on TV, and said i would eventually catch up with it on DVD.
Only about 4 years I really got into my retro stuff properly again, so I've just finished season 5 of the A-Team. Was gutted when i finished, knowing there was no more new episodes for me to see! So i decided I would go for magnum or knightrider, and i'm glad to say I've made the right choice with magnum, brilliant! The thing that i loved most about the a-team was the friendship between the guys, mainly face and murdoch, and knowing they are both great mates in real life also.
Although i had memories of tom selleck as magnum, i remembered nothing of the characters of rick and TC, so this is pure bonus for me. The 3 of them (and higgins) make for a great show. I'm 2 episodes into season 2 and loving it so far.
