I wonder if this rings any bells with UKS Forum members.

I've never even noticed the ends-at-64 thing. And I'm old enough to remember when this was all fields (waves virtual hand at industrial estate and shopping mall).

I've never seen a list that ended at 64. 64+, yes, but not 64. Also, I could hardly be classed as old, but I still have no idea what half of that article is talking about. Jumping BMWs over fences? Pips? What?

Well the internet is the internet, anyone can be 18 or 70.

Why would anyone give their correct age, sex, name, address or ANY personal details on the web unless there was some really good reason (like a delivery, for instance)? When a form asks you a question, ask yourself this - is it relevant to the service I am applying for? If not, feel free to put in any answer you like. They'll only lose your details on a CD in the post anyway.
