Had to have stitches in it after the headliners finished. Still got a bald 2” line on my head!!

Thats bad, of course it is, and i do have sympathy for you, but thats a fantastic way to get a scar - i always think a bit of pain is worth it if you get a decent story out of it, and you have!

 In the how old are you stakes... 

Saw Marillion playing in the Marquee club in 1982. Support act was Howard Jones, who IIRC had a hard time, the crowd were overwhelming there for Marillion  and weren't shy about making their feelings known as his set went on.

I'm not sure how old I am. Some days I think that I am 56, and some days I feel like I have existed since the birth of time.

32. I've felt old since I was 14.

I've re-written this bit a fair few times now, and am struggling as to what to say. In fact, that's all I can say.

Saw Marillion a few times at the Marquee in that era. But was anyone else there when Lufthansa Airport Terminal played? That’s a T-shirt I wish had survived.

Howard Jones went to my school in High Wycombe! I can’t actually remember if he was support when I saw Marillion there. I do remember how Fish would take his earring out and stage dive during Grendel, which we all got very excited about. Somewhere I have a 12” picture disk that has Grendel on the B side.

48 at the end of this year, can’t say I feel any older than I did 15 years ago, I’m definitely fitter, but I did get a shock recently when I decided to grow a beard for the first time in my life and it came through almost  completely white, that shit got shaved off straight away.

I'm 53 and have never tried growing one.  Someone once told me that only paedos and sex offenders had them which was a tad off-putting.

I saw them at Monsters of Rock in 1985. 

Ah teenage years, Donington and Glastonbury all in the same year.

Grew a beard during lockdown. I say grew a beard, that makes it sound like an active choice. More, couldn't be arsed shaving. A lot of grey but it quite suited me. Shaved it off after a few months. Fucking hell my face is weird. And it'd been weird for 43 years at that point. Why did no one say anything? 

Went right back to not shaving and I don't care what colour it changes too, it's staying put now.

Yeah kids today don't have to put up with incessant coverage of the Yorkshire ripper, so beards are warmly embraced - literally and figuratively

25% of a non existent pension due this year. Sadly age and size not dissimilar. Too much time at Avalon Inn I suspect

Bit of a creepy question, but perhaps creepier is the amount of people posting of an internet forum in their 50s and 60s.

What's the right age to post on an internet forum?
