Thread: Backroom age census

    Post Backroom age census

    I made this in the front-room too, but apparently that poll was in the wrong place. So here we go again, if it's not topic-worthy, just lock it, thx.

    Oh, crap, nvm. I, for some reason, thought Rhyfelwyr meant he barely still fit. I barely just fit. I am 15.

    Yeah, the final two categories should just be titled "grizzled" and "infirm." That would cover us geezers quite well.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Second group for me, though depressingly only a few months from the third.

    If this was public I wouldnt vote. I gave up giving my real age when I got told on another forum a few years ago "Your 14? You cant possibly have a opinion on this subject". Since then its been 18

    I just turned 50 last month. I thought I would be in the smallest group, but alas it turns out to be the second smallest, and almost tied with the 51+ group! We do help put the art in fart.

    I'm going to be 21 fairly soon, and probably fit in that category better than the 15-20 crowd here. I'm also a bit surprised to see so many people fifteen and under weighing in in the backroom. I can't say how I'd change my opinion of what they say based on that, but it all depends on the individual I guess.

    I'm in that third age category... the time when you realize that age really has nothing to do with much of anything onwards.
