Well, there have been some interesting threads about first concerts, first albums, etc., and have seen some young folks, and old folks (like me). I think i'm one of the senior (by age only) members here, so if the rest of you are as bold as me give it a go...
I turned 40 in August
I'll keep a tally of the ages and see if we can get an average age of those who respond, maybe by next week sometime...or Christmas...or New Years ;)
i think im the winner of the youth award here, 17 years of age, now don't accuse me me of being a teenie bopper just because im 17 alright, ive had enough of that to last me a lifetime.

Hey MITCH!! Don't think like that! BE PROUD! And just think :finger: for all the people accusing you of being a teenie bopper. Aging is just a matter of time, haha. IT's quite impressive that a guy like you is interested in music like New Order. Talking about good taste!
Just ignore all the ones that do not take you seriously!
Cheers mate.
The way I know it's old is that we talk about music in the office and people don't know who Joe Strummer is!!!!! Also we found a website that tells you the number one when you were born. There's mine which is Pretty Flamingo by Manfred Mann. There's others in the office which are Dancing Queen and Save Your Kisses for Me that I vividly remember!
After all, I started going to concerts in 84 and there are kids working now who weren't born then!!!!

Yeah, but you're only as young as the women you feel! I have'nt felt one who'se over 25 for a while now! 
...in a few days i'll be 28...and the crisis (reaching the thirties) is coming closer and closer...

My age cannot be disclosed for fear it would jepordise my very thin chances of winning the Pop Idol show.
I'm more than 1, but far less than 99... somewhere near 50, but a way off 11.

you know theres someone else parading round as 'huntsman' don't you
Originally posted by Huntsman O.K. sod it, I admit, I'm thirty, that's 3 and 0, 30 and it doesn't half feel old.
going by yer threads and yer humour - I thought you would be an intelligent 12 year old
Originally posted by Huntsman My age cannot be disclosed for fear it would jepordise my very thin chances of winning the Pop Idol show.
But Huntsman, I have just won that very show!!!
Ahhh... Shimmering Ian the little monkey chaser.
Don't be fooled everyone, there can only be one HuntsMule... just look out for a barrel being captured by healthy wasps,

... and I thought the only competition was fat Henry (or whatever he was called).
I think Allen Jarvis is older than you...
Alright, this is a running gag going too far :D
I'm a little 28... better than nothing..
Jim-
I'm a very old feeling 32. I sucks when hot 21 yr. old chicks refer to you as "sir"...............
Originally posted by Marco Pleil ...in a few days i'll be 28...and the crisis (reaching the thirties) is coming closer and closer...
Crisis ? Es tut mir leid !
There's this weird cult of late-teen girlyness over here, that finds it not only rebellious but mutually beneficial to shag older guys, particularly ones in their mid-30s. It's cool to be old, apparently, in some circles. You do have to have some redeeming features though, like a few bob and a nice place etc, but it's great while it lasts, then when they get either bored or start using words that begin with M, then you trade them in for another one !
I am 21 years old, although psychological tests have proven me to have a mental age of 14. :D 
:D

couldn't agree more
interesting that so far most are in the mid 20's to mid 30's range...
but no one has topped me yet :p

Crisis, what crisis
Its just a number friend
Originally posted by Michael McDermott Jim-I'm a very old feeling 32. I sucks when hot 21 yr. old chicks refer to you as "sir"...............
and you could guess what they might refer me to as... ;)
ok so here are the stas as of this post... I have 20 people be brave so far... i'm doin' the math right now...
The average age so far from 20 respondents is...
27.8 years!!
if you remove the high and low age, which would be me and Mitch, you still get 27.72 years.
so Intra Don, at 27 years young represents our age survey first, followed closely by Hooky Monster, Marco Pleil, and one of our favorite webmasters Nic...
well, back to work for me...have a great day and keep those entries coming
Well lets keep the average high.
I'm 37 next Feb.(but i've got the mind of a 5 year old and the looks of a 17 year old. The secret lies in using lots of garlic and also i think i am in someway Dorian Gray or his picture.
I am 32...but will be 33 in April...I still get carded for cigarettes, when I go to a new place to buy them, but never for beer. And all my young shelf stackers refer to me as sir. My boss is a 22 year old whipper snapper who just graduated from college. When I played Ceremony the other day, I had to tell him he was but a wee little baby when it came out. Then, my assistant (and my right hand) just turned 20. Wasn't even born yet when New Order first journeyed to America...So there are times I feel old, but I don't think I'd trade my age for anything younger (maybe older, so I could have had a chance to make more gigs)...
And like the Muffler...I don't date anyone over 25...well, that's more like they WON'T date me (I look too damn young!) So bring on the 22 year old that I am going out with, and now if we could just talk her twin sister into...oh, wait, that's just a wee too bit information for you kids...
anyways...have a great day...and Martin...please, come rip my face off...I enjoy it when it comes from you!
@Jim and Brian:
...yeah, i know it's only a number...but there's this general attitude of "losing your innocence" with getting thirty. "be reasonable", "don't watch The Simpsons anymore", "get a wife", "get some children", "get a proper job", "obey" and so on...got some bad experiences... 
Never worked for me Marco.As they say : one is as old as one feels!!
And my innocence! I lost that when i was about 16/17.

I don't think anyone will, Jim ( :D ) Phew, I thought I was the oldest one here: 38 and a month. Thanks, Jim!!

Jeff baby, you and I must have been blessed by the same angel, I too am forever being told I don't look my age! Send me a photo of that twin sister of your chick, if she passes muster i'll be on the next flight to Dallas, i've always fancied a shot of a bucking Bronco!

Brian...you want to grow up??? Not me, I like this so called life!!!
26, but some would say the looks of a 20 year old. I had problems getting served booze up until I was about 21!

I am 508 years old as of last July.
I'm just a poor time traveller who somehow set off on a journey of discovery and got lost and eventually ended up trapped and imprisoned in Britain for the past 36 years of my long long and tortuous life, unable to escape and thus I have unwillingly become branded as another member of the modern (pffft!!) Anglo-Saxon heritage.
By the way, wasn't Hooky the first true Viking Rock God?
Anyway, if all of you care to click on my profile, you can get a wonderful overview of one of the many rich historical / cultural delights we have in such abundance within this fair old medieval village that we once called Stopforde. Go on. I promise it will be a revelation......

I know the feeling Michael, especially when some lunkhead male the same age tells you that you shouldn't be looking at chicks that age. I just laughed at him.
Just turned 40, and have had no problems with it yet.

That depends on who you talk to you, Shug. My mom would say I have the depth and the wisdom of someone twice my age. My girlfriend would probably agree with you. And the prize you win is you get to take my last final on Thursday- neuro- fucking -psychology! Everyone's favorite. :\puke:
