What do they count as aging? I'm tempted to sign up just to see if I get the same question.
Given that I rarely qualify for any of their surveys (although I do have over £30 earned there), it's probably anyone over 35 I'd guess.

Alarming
I've always loved rather daft and ditzy remarks that stem from a temporary absence of thinking - and, Heaven knows, I've certainly made more than enough of them myself! - LOL! ;o>What really saddens and even rather scares me these days is just how often I hear or get to read of such ditzy comments and suddenly realise that there is actually now a whole generation out there who apparently seem to live entirely for (and inside of) Social Media - and who seem to be utterly unaware to the point of sheer ignorance of anything else that can't easily be summed up in a very badly written Facebook post or Tweet to all of their other mates ... "U now wot I meen?"
I agree , Suzy.It's the age of stupid, the age of watching 'amusing' cat videos on youtube.
An age of useless human beings who have no want to learn any life skills, happy to plod along getting obese and brain dead.
These people would call an electrician to wire a plug.
Imo they should be shot.
There seems to be a deliberate defiant in-your-face kind of pride from coming across as, or even in actually being, 'stupid' these days? And these people are in our present and will be our future?!! ... ARRRGGGHHH!!! ;oOAnd those 'amusing' Cat Videos on YouTube are also just SO last year now! - howling Huskies is where it's really at ;o> ...

I hate the trend for intelligent and well-educated people to deliberately use bad grammar: “Myself and my sister went shopping”
“Have you got a pet?” “I don’t”
“We was watching.....”
Surely they wouldn’t write like that?
Indeed, standards have slipped so far that intelligent, well-educated people quite happily use split infinitives.
Stupididdity's not exclusive to the young, there are also a lot of slightly older peeps that seem to believe they are god's given to pontificate over us without having stepped into the real world! These worry me far more than the mobile zombies, whom natural selection will take care of soon enough!
nocheese wrote: "Indeed, standards have slipped so far that intelligent, well-educated people quite happily use split infinitives."See, I had such a lousy Education in a place that sadly barely even qualified as being worthy of being called a School - and so I had to just Google what a Split Infinitive is and I'm still not entirely sure now even after reading several definitions?! ... but at least I made the effort to go looking and to try to find out instead of just settling for being proud over not having a clue ;o>
In the age of Hand-held technology with Google available 24/7 to almost everyone - I just feel that there really is no excuse whatsoever for choosing to remain ignorant.

My biggest fear is that I'll be patiently waiting for my turn in Clinic one day only to be shown in to a Consultant wearing a Hoodie and his baggy Trousers around his Knees and waving around a Stethoscope saying "Hey Dude! - these things are just like way cool, man!"I'll be racing out of that Clinic so fast that I'll probably break all existing world records in doing so!!! ;o>
We should also remember that, although there are many very, very stupid people out there, chat apps, social media companies and fun sites actively create their own content to drive up hits and keep users returning

That debate has been going on for a few centuries, I believe. It arises largely from the fact that it's impossible to split an infinitive in Latin, which led some academics residing in a somewhat rarefied atmosphere to decide that it is therefore unacceptable to split an infinitive in English.

I'm slightly disturbed that only 75% of respondents knew how many moons Earth has.
That question I did at least get right :)
ha ha, what a bunch o' diddies! everybody knows there's only one moon - it's just a pity both earths have to share it!
I didn’t get original English capital, Xmas No.1s, or the car (never watched Only Fools) and Elvis was a good guess.Only ashamed about the capital :-(
Gordon wrote: "I'm slightly disturbed that only 75% of respondents knew how many moons Earth has."Well, Gordon, the answer to that does rather depend on the kind of area that you live in and on whether you happen to be walking alongside a main Road just after the Pubs have shut and when folk are being taxied home?!!
In some (thankfully other to where I live) parts of Stockport you can certainly get to see much more than just the one Moon ;o>

HA HA HA! ;o>
According to QI there is an indeterminate and constantly fluctuating number of moos.

Having watched QI over the years the only thing that appears to be factual is that what was true or false in the past will no doubt be reversed in the future and the only certain constant is that we actually know nothing!
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "According to QI there is an indeterminate and constantly fluctuating number of moos."I remember "Pigs In Spaaaaace!" but cows?
Dammit how did I get all the difficult words right and then have a typo on moons??Moos is much funnier I suppose.

The cow jumped over the moon, remember.
Thanks Suzy.... Sigh....

Why don't women like having sex with SAS men?Because they are trained to get in and out without anyone noticing.
