Deathray 2,941 Posted January 10, 2017 Can you not just disqualify him for being stupid?Tempting.just let it be man. No big deal I'm only off by a couple of years.Then you'll never win the game generations aren't unverisally agreed on anyway. Some people would classify downie,brackneil and Christie as baby boomers anyway. That's why the OP specifically sets out which definition of generations is being used and where it's sourced on. Argue Bracknell a baby boomer all you want, the rules of the competition aren't going to change because you think they're wrong. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
