English Comprehension Test

(especially for Chris ... and the rest of you puzzlers)

My age, which plus yours is 86, is 15/16 the age you will be when I am 9/16 the age you would be if you were twice as old as I will be when I am twice your age.

How old are we?

(I fear we will be much older when we comprehend this problem statement)

This is probably wrong, because being english, and educated in england, my comprehension of english is probably way out...
I get an 11.805yr old and a 74.195yr old.
