Bill Gate's advice to Generation Y

[Daisy]

1965 ?? so a full 21 years after the end of WWII, which is the start of the baby-boomers generation, these kids are still known as baby-boomers ???

Something wrong with those numbers for sure.
I never knew what generation I was supposed to be in, because when I started school as the eldest child everyone else in my class had half a dozen older brothers and sisters.

the way the end of the 'boomers' generation keeps getting pushed out, inside 10 years , I reckon some experts will have pushed the boomer generation out to the *end* of the 60's !!!

So Daisy.........are you Year of the Tiger or what ??

To be honest, I have NFI. And I can't be stuffed looking it up - my puter has shat itself and it's taking forever to load pages.
Also I had a birfdy last week and turned 36 again.

Generation X rocks, the last of the REAL workers IMO

Rest is just downhill, with all the previous generations holding up the economy cus the new gen are SLACKERS, who think the world owes then a living.

Wikipedia defines the generations this way:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generations

(born 1944-1960) The Baby Boomers

(born 1960-1979) Generation X

(born 1980-2001) Generation Y

There you go - I had not looked at the Wiki entry for this before posting my dates above, but these dates lifted straight from Wiki correspond almost *exactly* with the periods in my earlier post. Wiki also mentions all sorts of 'cusp' generations (ie 1975 - 1986) etc, this is just crap. There have been only 3 basic generations between the end of WWII and the end of the 20th century.

I am just being pedantic about this because *NO FUCKING WAY* am I some baby-boomer retired fat arse who smoked shitloads of cones in the 60's and 70's (well, maybe the very late 70's !!!)

Gos, you must admit that we are some 5-10 years behind the states as far as the time lines are concerned, so that probably gives you the best of both worlds
So that makes you a baby boomer, with latent Gen X tendencies, "and a tinch of sinister sauce" from the gen Y
