I personally don't get the whole "getting hysterical when you turn 30" thing. Maybe because I still look like I pass for 25 I can afford to sound glib but seriously! now that I'm 30, I have more money and I have better taste than when I was 16 (I don't mean to sound smug; it's from a low base of low taste at 16 years old). What is there to wail about? If we were turning 16, we would not have been going to The Gilbert Scott for drinks.
