    Boards is generally deemed to have a fairly young average age.
    Perhaps this average is rising??

    Anyway I am 46 (and a half).
    Who else is in this age region ? Any 50+ or 60+ or more??
    How old can we find?


    (excuse if this is the wrong forum - senility beckons).

    Old Fart, pfft.

    I'm a sprightly 28 years young.

    Remember Brother dewsbury, you're only as old as the girl you're feeling (which in my case is a bit crap, as she's 32 :eek:)

    Thanks patrickc. I thought it must have arisen before.

    However, I read some of the previous messages and could not find anybody over 46 ??

    Would getting to 51 not involve some "careful" living like engaging in fitness or "eating right" or worst of all "moderate drinking" :eek: ??

    If not, then I salute brother Hagars "live fast, annoy the young" attitude to life !!!

    I myself am 32 and have only seen the light of turning my back on sports in the past few years but my gut is coming along nicely and i'm already working on an extra chin (perhaps one day I will reach Gerry Ryans level of multiple chin-ness).

    Getting to 51 is apparantely easily, it's staying there for a few years takes the work :)

    I'm still in my 30s (can't say that for much longer :eek:, so I'm making the most of it)

    39 and 11/12s to be precise :D:cool::D

    It's easy enough, you just get up every day. Hangover or no hangover.
    I used to wonder what it would be like to be forty, now I can't remember.

    I'm 35 this year but I can easily pass for younger, I was told a few months ago by a person that knew me about 6 months that he thought I was only 19 but I think he was just trying to score :D
