Me for starters

Is this an ageist thread   .

About 50% I reckon. Not me yet

I am... less than half that age.

I’m younger than Gaff.

My eyesight’s better than Deep’s

I think I’m shorter than Hammie.

My radio doesn’t work as well as Mikey’s

I’m better, in a one to one situation, than Kamara.

I’ve scored more times than Titchy.

‘That’s enough about me though, let’s talk about you’.

‘What do you think about me?’


I’m rambling……

Could be.
Just wanna know who has dementia here 

For the record, I'm 75 and looking forward to dementia lol

Erm..I shouldn't say things like that.
It's not funny for people who have it
So sorry.

I’m in denial   .

I am ancient. And justified. So there.

I'm 74 but self-identify as 32

Friggin nippers

I can't remember

I've reached that milestone & have discoved the wonders of Digital Radio!!

You're 57. Probably.

I’m old enough to be dribbling piss down my leg and unfortunately still young enough to know I’m doing it!

80 is the new 70, right?

Not yet

Me. Just. I'm older than I look.

Just over 4yrs to go.

I also deduce, by the way you type, that you have mild arthritis in your left hand, causing you to lean sideways, approaching the keyboard with your right hand at a 45 degree angle. Elementary. 

Nah, actually, I just remember you saying you were probably about the same age as me.

Absolutely, well said.
I had that once but I'm feeling much better now I'm a duck.

Fwiw I'm in my 50's... age wise and IQ wise

Old enough to remember the good old days, young enough to hope for a few more.
