General Chat

Thats great Carol, I think it must have something to do with all the chatting we do on here. As someone said earlier, on here we're ageless. Vivienne Sleep well Susie, I'll be around sometime tomorrow but I'm hoping to go to Bill Harrisons in Wedmore for some healing if I can motivate myself in the morning. Night, night Vivienne

I fell asleep in the middle of the programme (says it all!) - which area came out healthiest? Bet it was the affluent South East! Lily

I think it was Wales came out healthiest, with Northern Ireland least healthy. Took the paper and pencil test and came out 3yrs 6 months younger, can't be bad. Val

Hi its me again!! Has anyone else had problems doing the test on line, I have still not managed to do one, gave up trying last night! Just been back on web site and now I cant scroll down the page so get to page 2 and can go no further! Oh how frustrating!!!

Vera I am getting the same problem. Dee x

Oh thanks Dee, was beginning to feel it was just me that was having problems! If you manage to complete it can you let me know so that I can have a go as fed up with trying now.

It was probably over use last night that was the problem but today its different. There is no arrow to scroll down the page so once you have completed half of page 2 you are unable to go any further and its b!!!!!! annoying!!

According to the TV survey, I'm 5 months younger than my real age, mainly due to long-standing health problems. However, I don't believe the results can be particularly accurate, given the 'one-size-fits-all' nature of many of the questions. For instance, BMI calculations take no account of a person's bone-structure or musculature. When I first read about BMI calculations of this type some years back, Linford Christie was quoted as someone whose BMI would appear too high, using that method, and who could say he wasn't healthy? Similarly, waist size varies owing to body build, not height or weight. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the results. CB >|<

I agree with you CB the questions are not in-depth enough I think the whole thing should just be taken as a bit of fun!!

Hi Vera I finally managed to complete it Clicked on 'How to join in' on the left hand side of the page and went from there. When I tried clicking on the 'take the test' on the front page it kept freezing. (bit like this site really!!!) I am 3.2 years younger than my real age according to the test. I tend to agree with CB that the results cannot really be relied on, but it was fun to do. Dee x

Thanks Dee going to give it a go now - well at least you came out younger, thats good!!!

Nope Dee that didn't work either, got right to the end and it said there is a technical fault!!! Oh I give up I didnt want to know the answer anyway!!!

Yes, I agree, folks, it was fun to do the test. We always sit there doggedly doing these quizzes that Anne Robinson and Philip Schofield host too. Trouble is, I usually fall asleep way before the end of the show - so that probably shows my real age more than last night's score! LOL Just goes to show how little 'entertainment' there is on TV on Saturday nights now! CB >|<

Done one of these before and according to the age it came up with I should have died about the same time as my great great grandmother! Not doing it again - too, too depressing!
