How about an under '40's forum'?

[jaffacakes1]

Are there many other TV members in this minority demographic ?

Any possibility of a children's table where us trainee expats could have a nice chat away from the grown ups and their problems?

[MJCM]

I would agree, that would mean that we will get the "Babies" out of here

[soi41]

Sure there is "up to twelve" forum out there somewhere!!

[razorramone]

There are babies of all ages, young and old

[ToddWeston]

If you have questions about acne or Justin Beiber don't you think we can help ?

Only 49 here ...... if you'd said under 50 you would have for a like :)

[Nowhereman60]

So that means you kids are not going to give your 2 cents in the grown up forum?

[BookMan]

Will the criteria be physical age or mental age?

[AlexRRR]

has to be mental.....

[Theequation]

Age, or waistline (inches)?

Age, or waistline (inches)?

Brilliant. The 'I'm not very fat at all' forum.

Only if you promise to stay in your room and not bother us.

[krisb]

Why?

Why?

We don't 'understand' them.

Different generations, slightly different interests, lifestyles and experiences of Thailand.

we dont understand old farts in singa-shirts with issan wifes...

I reckon even an 'under forties' forum will have it's very own noisome, opinionated, condescending, rude, know-it-all contingent. The only difference is that they WILL know less but have lots more expensive, high-tech dummies to spit. The benefit is that after all the toys are out of the pram (again), they can always flounce up-market and joust with the regular been-there, done-that, 50+ and counting my money (and the white hairs on my balls) brigade.

BTW, how would you enforce such a 'membership' on an internet forum anyway? I mean, just because you SAY your name is Nigel and you're a successful, young Bangkok-based financial adviser, living with a non-bargirl in new condo in Thonglo doesn't necessarily make it so.

I fit the OP's criteria perfectly....however I recently celebrated my 40th birthday with my wonderful gf.

You have to wonder how this will work....perhaps psychological profiling will do the trick.

I nominate StreetCowboy to begin his research.....up to you which member you choose.....

What's to understand? Honestly?

[Ulysses G.]

The young whippersnappers want their own forum now? The world is going to hell in a handbasket.

[razorramone]

By the way.. there is another thai expat forum with a much younger demographic already.

Happy Birthday Smokie - in the absence of our own forum perhaps this thread will suffice.

Or perhaps another 'I haven't been rolled by a Thai lady, love living in the tropics and have no embittered opinions to espouse' thread may serve the purpose.

Only 2 members so far..

I wish I was under 40 again. I would find better things to do with my time than posting on TV.

When many members were under 40 there were no forums. In fact there were no computers.

“The Little Boy and the Old Man

Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."
Said the old man, "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."
I do that too," laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The old man nodded, "So do I."
But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
I know what you mean," said the little old man.”

, they will soon come running to us old 'uns to see where they went wrong cos they dare not ask mum. ..............................

[Jingthing]

It doesn't seem to be a horrible idea.

On the other hand, wouldn't topics that are clearly more youth oriented by self selecting anyway?

I think 30 and under is better.

40 is already very OLD, my dears.

Maybe the OP is like 35 and still thinks he's young.

Another possible objection is where does it stop?

How about a Missionaries forum?

A forum for Canadian vegetarians?

I know the perfect moderator for that last forum suggestion.

What is the 40 I am confused, age, inside leg, cms or inches or is it the naughty bit when aroused? Heaven forebid its the waist, the chest ok, female even better.

If its age what happens when you reach 40, you either lie or join the rest of us?

Next!!!!!!!!!!!!!
