2016 Poll - How old are you?

[12stringbassist]

Please enter how old you are during Jan 2016.
Thanks.

[discreet]

May we ask why? Isn't it possible to look at last year's poll and add a year onto the results?

I was 50 & 51 in January. I need a multiple choice answer.

That would work assuming nobody has left or joined since. We may have had a sudden rush of 85 year old bassists joing our ranks.

Yes well, maybe they saw how grumpy everyone was here and flocked to the forum like fatties round a Greggs Steak Bake.

That's not very mature, is it??

indeed... good thing too, If I was more mature I'd be in one of the "losing" age groups...

[discreet]

The result will be skewed anyway - younger members are much more likely to vote because 1) They aren't as bitter or cynical as older members, 2) They have more energy and are less likely to be in the toilet, and 3) Ah, f*** it.

Why the sudden surge of interest in how old everyone is?

So that the Basschat sponsors can identify those suitable for targeting with pension release scam letters. Possibly.

I notice Blue hasn't said how old he is in any of the "how old are you?" threads, which is quite ironic seeing as he mentions it in pretty much every other one...

Haha! I do know also what age he started gigging too.

It's making me feel a bit uneasy all this age stuff and with a good few famous people dying recently. I'm pretty sure ten years ago I was immortal.
In all seriousness I am scared of growing old. And I'm honestly worried about the future, it's getting me down more than a bit and it's playing on my mind a lot of late.

[TimR]

Ok. Who put 91-100?

More importantly, [i]who[/i] is between 91 and 100?

[Marvin]

A day from now I'll be a year older.

It probably won't make it any easier but it's not uncommon to start getting those feelings about your own mortality around the age that you are. I know I did.

When I was younger I hoped fervently that there would be an afterlife.
But now the older I get, the more I hope there won't be one.

[Marvin]

I see the over 50's have just got out of bed, now nearly neck and neck with the 40-50's.
