Oldies but Goodies.

Postby GlobusDiablo » Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:06 am

Goody goody gumdrops!!!

We seem to be a quite mature group of ace commanders here.

Do we have any commanders under the age of, say, 30?

Oh alright, I'll go first.

I'm 45 (and loving it! .... No, really I am! :D)

We might have to call ourselves the Oldies but Goodies group?...

Do I hear a yay?...

Edit: Or maybe just "The Gumdrops"?... Oh dear. I'll show myself out. Sorry...

Yay to that.. Ok.. my age...

I flew the original Beeb Elite, was a full geek (some say I still am), disassembled their code just to find out how it worked.

I will soon be ..... 54..
I'm thinking of asking FD to put in an extra Old-Fart mode to allow for the reduction in twitch muscle response we have.. and I'm a lefty so HOTAS is not quite natural.

25 here :D

I'm old at heart really. I especially enjoy yelling at those pesky kids to get off my lawn, and I always seem to have some sort of boiled sweet about my person :P

Old-Fart mode.... Nice... :D

Lefty here as well by the way. Xbox360 controller works nicely for me. Keyboard and mouse on the side.

:D Excellent.

Having your own lawn already. Well done sir. ;)
Age considered you will henceforth be known to me as "Squire Fledgling Tenderfoot". :D ;)

On the issue of sweets. Be kind to your gums and your gums will be kind to you, I always say... :roll:

I am 44 and remember the Goodies as being rather fun and cool in a surreal way.

I’m 20. Although I’ve been 20 for 33 years, now, and I’m afraid it’s starting to show. :P
