A thread for everybody to play in, since Al's is dying.
So, is age just a number? Can people of ten year's difference or more work out or are their respective stages of life too disparate? At what age does this cease to be an issue?

Or talk about any old crap, I guess. I'm not fussy. Talk about lunch, if you want. You can even tell me about the tie you're wearing if you really must, though that didn't seem to go down too well in the earlier thread.

Edit: Animal cruelty, eh? How about that, then?

12 years between me and Catface. It's working out fine although I have moments when I wonder how he's never heard of Neil Kinnock.

Edit: Catface won't let me get a dog. That's animal cruelty.
