I'm old AND buggered ...

The wonders of modern medical science and great care from all my medicos/hospitals keeps me alive.

Is old enough to know better an age :D
Just cracked 50, but as I like to say I'm 18 with 32 years experience.:lol:

74 years young, I don't do old. How can some one be 6 years OLD, and someone be 74 years OLD, doesn't make sense.

When I was a kid we had the dunny cart come every Monday morning, so that makes me old.

I'm very glad I'm not as old as I feel !!! :nod:

I reckon I'm getting close to my "Use By" date, and waaaaay past my "Best Before" date.

I know only 8 of us have voted, but it looks like we are an aging demographic.

Or only the older ones of us have bothered to vote, the younger ones have things to do, places to go, people to see, photos to take..and aren't really interested in how old we all are. Now.. where are my slippers.

I'm just happy that computers now say "Type in password" its so easy to remember and even if you forget they always remind you its "password".

I’m with Ross - I don’t do old.
The number is 75 - means nothing.

I've got no choice ...

I look about 50 something (causes problems with my Category A disabled sticker!).

Actually early 70s.

Usually feel about 102 ...

More 'invisible' health problems than I care to enumerate. Now it appears that I need a hip replacement ...

Can't complain. I should have died at around 7 months old ... :nod:.

Interesting results, I bought my first SLR (I must be getting Alzheimers because I can't remember the name, pretty sure it was Russian?) when I was 18 and I suspect a lot of us got into photography early and bought bodies and lenses when we got our first jobs and had some surplus $$$ to spare.

With the iPhone generation, I wonder how enticing a ILC is to that generation now?

I think more photos get taken everyday now than ever before, but not via what we deem the gear that we are used to?

Probably just being an old fuddy duddy :) but looks like I'm in great company :)

My first SLR like yours I suspect was a Zenit. A great camera to learn the photographic basics with. And then in the end it fell apart. It served it's propose though.

Yes, a Zenit. It eventually got difficult to wind the film and started a lot of internal grinding.

Next I had a Praktica, then a Konica and my last film camera was a Canon AE1-Program.

Just squeezed into the 31-40 category, which I couldn't help but notice was the youngest category with any votes. Don't I feel young?!

Until next year when I have to tick the 41+ box. :(

Thankfully, though, I don't think too much has changed since my 20's... I don't think? Maybe a bit less hair. :(

Trust me - 40 is young. It's all downhill from there, so wave goodbye to "young" soon and join us on the slippery slope to oblivion! :D

Of course we older ones have that elusive quality known as "wisdom" ....... that quality which we claim as a replacement for good looks, clean skin and healthy bodies. :eek:

24 for those wondering or 24 with the body of a 50 year old i make that much noise.

also just a tip: never use password as your password since if you do and someone gets ahold of your email its the first thing they try aswell as qwerty or 123456789 also some fun statistics on that 3 MILLION people used password, 12345 was 23.2 MILLION and 123456789 was 7.7 MILLION

I just noticed someone picked the 21-30 box since my post. Now, I feel ancient.

57 but my hair's been grey since my 20's so when people from my past catch up with me they tell me I've hardly changed. Except that I was 10 stone wringing wet back then. A bit more padding these days. Ah well, another beer will help me forget about that.

you know there are 2 signs of old age. The 1st is that you start to forget things. The second is.... um... er... now what was I talking about?

I think more photos get taken everyday now than ever before

And an awful lot of those are simply awful! (including lots of mine that get deleted :lol:)

Yeah ... but we can take so many more now that by the law of averages we end up with more keepers! (That's my story and I'm sticking to it). :nod:

I work in several age brackets.
Starting from top down.

Brain 18 yrs old

Shoulders 45 ish

Back is like a teenager (Never shuts up)

Both stomachs well fed and 50

Bum still in the same place it started

Both stomachs in the way so I don't know any more

Right knee soon to get a letter from the Queen.

Left knee 30 and wanting a pay rise for all the extra work it having to do.

And it only took 57 1/2 yrs to get it that way.
