How old are you?

[numbnuts]

It must be those little blue pills.can you get them on the Nhs.

I was offered them after I damaged my spine.

Good work!

Yep, I felt old as my hip reduced to bone on bone. Now three weeks since having it replaced I feel rejuvenated. I can walk without a stick, and without a limp for the first time in years. (bit sore though)

Excellent news - I hope you make a full and speedy recovery.

Both of my dad's hips went before he was your age but we couldn't persuade him to have them replaced so he spent nearly 30 years hobbling about and most of the last year of his life stuck in bed.

I was a lot younger when this thread started.

Just wondering what the average age of the forum members are. I'm 32.

The average age of posters is 70.

The average age of posters is 70.

Age or IQ. I think you're probably over-estimating on the IQ.

I remember withdrawing my savings from the Post Office to buy some cow-horn bars to put on my 3 speed hub geared racer. I'm fairly certain they cost £1.30. My Dad was very angry with me for being so frivolous with my money!

Given the absence of front brakes I suspect that photo is of a cycle speedway group. Or at a least a bunch of lads who modelled their bikes on cycle speedway bikes.

Early 50's. Too old to feel part of the modern world but too young to be able to retire
