Average forumite age

[Bouba]

I remember a long while ago...I think it was that program on tv where a panel had to guess the famous person’s house...and an old rock and roller was showing his bedroom...and he pointed to the urinal in his en-suite...I thought, that’s disgusting...who would want a urinal in their bedroom....I would love a urinal in the bedroom

I’m a bit schizophrenic about how old I feel...

How fortuitous the poll has the facility to change the age one has previously voted.

I joined when I was in my 20's - I'm now desperately clinging on to the end of my forties. Apparently I joined in 2005 but I'm pretty sure it was a good few years before that.

I'm obviously not as prolific a poster as some

The reason I joined was the usual i.e to ask advice from the forum on a first boat to buy. I had plenty of enthusiastic recommendations and the consensus was that I should buy a Hurley 22. With an encapsulated keel and 'bulletproof' construction, what could possibly go wrong?

So I bought one.

I never really found out if she was 'good in a blow' because the assurances regarding construction proved to be less than accurate.

The advice gained from a forum is worth what you pay for it

My first boat was also a little hurley and she took me safely all around the east coast.

You clearly misheard the forum advice - not Hurley 22 but Andersen 22

I desperately wanted an Andersen 22 (who wouldn't) but never manageed to get the required 'high speed craft' license to operate one.

Of all the older smaller yachts the one i thought sailed most like a larger yacht was the corribee 21 fin keel.

Having had a heart scan a few days ago, plus doing way too much work in the garden for several days, plus just back from walking the Border Collie, I'm feeling twice as old as i am, lying here on the sofa alongside a sleeping Collie.

Ps heart scan OK.

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty two now, but I won't be for long...


Which kinda shows how old I am.

Brilliant song by a true rock poet and Kirsty McColl's performance was superb. I had the pleasure of seing her perform in a pub in Camden before she was famous

Never saw Kirsty, but saw Billy in the mid 80s, when he did a long rant about dishonesty in the music business, which was all just a setup for 'this song is a lie; I'm not 22", and straight into A New England.

I thought the reason for having an 'en suite' was the convenient dunny. Just make sure the door isn't right next to your walk in wardrobe.

No, a number 2 is a planned for event (unless you are one of our really old forumites)….getting up in the night for that unscheduled piddle is the bane

I was actually thinking of a 'toilet suite' https://www.bunnings.com.au/caroma-luna-cleanflush-close-coupled-toilet-suite_p0180848 in the 'en suite'.
Serves both purposes.
Having a urinal anywhere in the house strikes me as seriously strange.

That is an expensive bog.

En suites, there has recently been a move towards having the en suite truly en suite. I had several clients with this arrangement. Now, there’s something touching and erotic about one’s partner in the bath. But watching them on the bog, just no.
