And if you actually know, don’t say.

27

42

Late 30’s early 40’s.

If pushed, would go for the older end of the scale.

104?

It’s tricky isn’t it. Would’ve been even harder if it weren’t for the mugshots thread.

I suppose we can guess people’s ages on STW from the stuff they discuss ie kids, houses, jobs etc…

ooh ooh – found a clue – isn’t this fun!

I like it. I like early Dylan quite a bit.

Doesn’t matter that his singing/playing is a bit pants, that’s part of it imo. The music was a reaction to popular culture I think, hence it’s simplicity and crudeness but yet not at the same time. Kind of like punk.

NB I am too young to have been there so may be talking bolx.

Hehe. That’s what got me thinking about it.

I think Smee is 36, antigee is 29 (no idea really 🙂 ), Rusty is 40 and Poddy is 45.

I am 32.

Yep, in a few weeks, (but I have posted my age, so you can’t have that one).
I LOOK 50 though.

Give us a clue 😉

What childhood sweets did you used to eat?

Did you play football with a brick?

What type of bike did you cycle to school on?

Flares or pins?

Denim or donkey jacket 😉

let’s see a pic, can’t be bothered to troll through the mugshots

I am 32.

Paper round in Beirut? 😉

Your older than your teeth ?

Or as young as the woman your feeling ?

Judging by yer mugshot, Molgrips, I’d say mid-forties?

I’m 9 1/4.

but I have posted my age, so you can’t have that one

I SWEAR I didn’t know, that was a total guess!

Ok then. The first few pop songs I can remember hearing are “Go wild, go wild, go wild in the country, where snakes in the grass are absolutely free” or “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to”.. or “prince charmiiiing”.. I used to eat Wham bars, refresher chews, space invader crisps….. I had a school bag with Liverpool on it even though I knew nothing about the club. And I can remember Thatcher being elected – albeit dimly.

Rudeboy – you bastard!

had a school bag with Liverpool on it even though I knew nothing about the club Did you borrow it from Rudeboy? 😉

34?

36?

13¾

Hmm, interesting….

My first bike was a Raleigh Speedway. We had tons of snow in Herefordshire when I was 6…

38

I reckon you were born in ’75 or ’76.

are you 35 this year?

Most people who’ve met me think I’m older than I am.

41

Gary_M is pretty accurate… Sept 75 which makes me 33. But most people put me older.

Someone else’s turn now then? I reckon mike is… 38.

You remember Thatcher being elected when you were less than 4? Blimey!

antigee is 29 (no idea really)

put it this way i just about remember Kennedy being shot and staying up to watch Armstrong walk on the moon apparently later this year i become a grande vet

Ah, got you mixed up with someone else, Molgrips. Soz!

Mid to late 30s then?

A mate and I were discussing another friend of ours, to whom the years have not been kind. Me mate said ‘by the time he’s 40, he’ll have no hair and 5 teeth’. The poor bloke was never a looker, and he hazzunt looked after himself too well. Bad lifestyle, thinking a bit of Yoga now and then will fix everything.

[edit] Din’t hit ‘post’. Din’t see that you are in fact 33.

I remember a big fuss from my parents, and I remember a lady (whom I later recognised from my own memories as Thatch) talking from Downing Street. I seem to remember a lot of things from retrospectively piecing together what I’ve learned with mental images from the time. For instance, talking about the miners strike on here helped me remember lots of news items and stuff from the time and make more sense of them now than then.

49 then, antigee.. Don’t worry tho – Grand vets is easy 🙂

I reckon you’re 34 Rudeboy.

Go Wild in the Country was released in 1982.
I became aware of pop music when I was about 6.
So that makes you 33

Ah wrong, first pop song I remember was The Legend of Xanadu by Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Titch – I was 4.
Awesome!

first pop song I remember

How old you are when you remember your first pop song will depend a lot on whether you had older brothers and sisters. I’m the oldest of five, so don’t really remember pop songs until I was fairly old. First number one I can remember is Sinita (I think) – “Running just as fast as we can, holding onto one anothers’ hand…”

Or parents who were into music

first pop song I remember was Super Trooper by Abba, remember my mum singing along in the car.

guess I’m either a lot older than you and Mike, or my parents were more into music. I’ll take the latter 🙂

So, how old is molgrips?

It’s been said above DezB – 33.

I reckon you’re 34 Rudeboy.

I spose that’s mildly flattering. Is that from stuff I post, or from me mugshot?

I’m 3 years off 40. Virtually all me hair, and all me own teeth, no fillings at all. No badly broken bones ever, just a touch of Arthritis, and a bit short sighted. Doing well, I think.

I’ve still got it…
