Average age on the forum

[Subedai]

I'm a young and sprightly 58, mentally in my mid to late 20's and still would like to paint without resorting to wearing optical benefits. Dream on!

59 and just a few months short of the big 6 Oh, and Ive had to resort to wearing reading glasses to do what I laughingly refer to as "painting" for the last few years.

The word "painting" refers to me smearing the approximatly correct colour in approximatly the correct area.

[Malbork]

Rapidly approaching 52 and despite the best efforts of VisionExpress find it much more convenient to take the specs off when I'm painting; Everything just seems to come into focus, of course when I do this at the optician's everything goes out of focus.  Weird

Blimey, we did a similar poll in our wargames club, back in the days of flared trousers, platform shoes, lapels and collars. Average age was 23! When I was tall, dark and handsome. Stooped, grey and wrinkled now.

Blimey, I notice there are now seven of us who are sixty-one or over (I turned sixty seven in January). I can remember a time when I thought twenty one was ancient....

That sounds all too familiar. I also remember feeling old when I saw a policmen that looked younger than me .

  52 this year, so i also fall in the 50-60 group,though my lad who's on the forum is 26 next month, so i suppose we balance out each other.

Oh that's oh so true... . My back, my knees, my ankle and my arm disagree with my every single day!
