Amen, brother.  At 55 I can say definitively that I'm every bit as sharp 
as I was at 54 and a half.  And also ... um, I  forget exactly what it 
was I was going to say next but I'm sure it was relevant.  Have you seen 
my bifocals?

Personally, I think Graham must be living in Soviet Rusia beacause over 
here it's the other way around - the more you learn new languages, the 
younger you get.
