Title: How Old Are You?
Post by: Cuttenslise on January 07, 2003, 11:10:34 am
Sorry, my curiosity has got the better of me.

Here is a general survey to try and find the age ranges of FS2 players and all the Modders on this site.

18 years, 11 months.

and then it's just one year left until I can buy booze (except in the pubs and such, where I already can). swedish laws are screwed up. I mean, I voted last year, ffs. Why can't I buy alcohol, then?

not that I really care. I just think it's screwed up.

Well here in Blighty you can drink alcohol in your own home from the age of five, but yet it is illegal to buy it if you're under 18, and it is illegal to buy alcohol for anyone under 18. You can drink with a meal in a pub fomr 14, and with a parent or such form 16 (I think), yet it is still illegal to buy for anyone under 18. So how do you get hold of the stuff?

BTW, I'm 15. 16 in July.

I usually don't bother to get hold of it. It's just a matter of principles. My opinion is that when you're old enough to decide who's gonna run the country by voting, you're old enough to buy alcohol.
and I think it's 16 for "drinking in secluded company".

not that anyone really cares. I usually trip over those 13-14-year olds when I try to get somewhere on big holidays like april 30 and midsummer (swedens two real national holidays)

Also a shame that the film sucked most of the soul out of the book.

:shaking:  I didnt buy it! I was handed it by mistake and i gave the woman in the shop some money because she was so friendly!
AH!!

(17, 18 in september)



...think somebody could have thought about the age ranges a bit more, most are going to be between 15 and about 25.

um, would you believe, old enough to know better, but don`t ;7

Probably the oldest living member, but not the wisest, with what they are teaching in school today, it was a lot different when I was in school...Thinks back to a time when things were simple.. Enjoy it while you can, a forum as this one comes around only once.. Happy birthday HLP  :D .

You're right, true enough, but I didn't know if we did have an age spread or if most people would be within a certain age range.

I'm over 30, by the way, but less than 35.

Wow, I didn't think that this thread would attract this kind of response.

Anyway, I think that Whitelight deserves a special Avatar. (Most senior member, Father of HLP etc. No offence intended, of course, just an honorific.) How about it, staff?

I remember my first computer. It was an old Sinclair ZX81 that my dad built for me from a kit. Prior to that, all I had was TV tennis. (Blocky white graphics and a white dot bouncing around the screen was about the sum of it!)

Was that tennis thing on a black and orange box? A Binatone?

Yes! Yes! I agree!  The Eldest should definitely get a special avatar, special privileges, great respect, presents on his birthday, all the beer he can drink!


ummm, BTW, I'm 58.

Hmmm tempting the word special did catch my eye, but I really would rather be as one of you, I don`t really want any special treatment from you peps, though my wife has called me special from time to time... :lol: But that is how it should be I guess :nod:

I`m a kid at heart that will never grew up, and that is comming from the wife :lol:

‘Methuselah’ is it? Well, that’s cool. :D  And it’s a lot better than “Old Goat” or "Dirty Old Man".  But just so you know, I’m nowhere near as old as Methuselah – I know that for a fact ‘cause I was in high school with his kid sister.
