    As I change from one decade to another later this year I've cheated and selected for my age-to-be.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Have you any cryptic clues in that post that we can have a guesstimate at your age :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,095 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I'm a little bemused by the age range, I feel a little outnumbered!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    At nearly thirty, its brightened my day that I get to pick the youngest age bracket.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Just spotting this forum amongst the new posts. Would I be considered a young'un round here (did tick the youngst age bracket, older than 'missing time')? Dont be taking advantage of me now.

    Unless he's arrived from another planet, or has actually secretly learned how to extend his life through genetic manipulation, I'll be requiring signed off medical proof before changing any poll.

    No. :p

    No. :p

    Perhaps a written statement by both parents to say why he should be allowed time off too?:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I occupy the same category as an 18-year-old, even though I'm nearly 15 years older - I likes. :pac:

    The poll options suck for a person who's just turned 40! :p

    After getting through my 30s, 40 was a huge relief. 42 now and I wouldn't be dead for quids.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 408 ✭✭gramlab


    Just entering my second thirties and I'd still feel young if everyone didn't keep reminding me.

    This is an honest post... Yeah really an honest one from me:pac:

    It was my birthday last week and I became 56 years old, which is strange as I feel exactly the same as I did 2 weeks ago at 55.

    There I have admitted it openly.:pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,095 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    We are going to need a new poll after a few weeks, when all those people who have come for a nosey have satisfied themselves as to what is happening and lose interest. Then we can see who the regulars are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    I am a baba here. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Just turned 40.

    They suck even more for someone who's 39½
    Not Under 39 and not yet 40.... limbo.
    Casting my vote in the 40-49 bracket caused unnecessary trauma.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭Thomas828


    Same for me. I'm four months away from my 40th birthday. I'm 39.666666666666.

    Just look at it as breaking you in gently for that cake with the 40 candles on it...

    You're welcome.

    I was looking for some grumpy old gits that I could get grumpy with and then have a laugh about it..... this was the nearest I could find;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,549 ✭✭✭✭muffler

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭BlancheSparks


    :D Thanks for the empathy...... real kerry is the answer.

    and the last time someone said that was after they threw a bucket of ice cold water on top of me (from an upstairs window) while we were out carol singing :eek: :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Spread


    Have just spotted this today. Is there a North Kerry enclave (for the Mildly Distressed) here?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,639 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Did you bring gin and sweets?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I've been told I'm getting 'old' and 'over the hill' by a lot of my mates recently, but I actually feel much better about myself now that I fall into the under-39 category! :cool:

    I found it hard going from 39 to 40, but 41 was not as bad.
