me jane 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Guess their ages quiz Edit: This is a CNN site connected to ireport. Faces appear one by one and there are four choices of ages. You guess how old you think each person is and at the end they will calculate your score. No porn, music or funky sounds. Suitable for work if your boss doesn't mind you looking at pictures of old people. Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Can you give us an idea in the thread. It's kinda annoying & don't like clicking without knowing what it is even if I can see it is CNN. Cheers. (Don't think sj likes this kind of thread either. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted September 10, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted September 10, 2007 We're not particularly worried about it 69 (though just to help us out with keeping within our guidelines some kind of comment as well as the link would be good).

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted September 10, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted September 10, 2007 On the subject of links.... we do not want people to think of these forums to be used as some kind of "links directory". Sometimes they are fine, but simply posting links bring up a fair number of issues for us - especially when they are winter sports & japan related ones. More and more as winter approaches we are going to be facing this issue and while we have a basic policy we're also going to be applying a case-by-case policy when it's "borderline". We were discussing this today actually, and I'm sure we'll be talking about it again in the coming months. Anyway, sorry me jane! Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'm terrible with ages. Japanese especially lots of ladies look younger than they are, well thats what it seems like anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 whats the prob with links SJ? i was crap there, got 1 right, doh!!! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted September 11, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted September 11, 2007 Sorry Tubby Beaver, but right at this moment we're not going to get into that discussion. We will be bringing it up nearer the season start. For now, please just read the Forum guidelines. Thanks. Back to the topic? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well, I got 4 right. They look the same to me. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Off topic, don't want to spoil the thread Warning, spoiler! Security-wise, I don't think the lack of comment is an issue in this case. People either trust me to post appropriate links or they don't. A new member could write a comment about his snowboarding tricks then link to a dodgy site. 69, would you be more likely to click on his link because of the comment? Site quality-wise, fair point SJ, forums full of link trolls don't really make for very good reading. Fortunately on this site threads that start out with a link, usually turn into interesting (well sometimes!) discussions. SJ conflict of interest links. A big topic - guess we should save our opinions for the post SJ are planning at the beginning of the season. SJ, it's a difficult line you have to draw and I think you do a good job! It's a difficult one. I usually get at least a few right with those she-male or Japanese-Chinese ones that were posted before. Then again even looking at the photos of the people I was in school with there could be twenty years between the oldest and youngest looking. I have one friend (33) who still gets asked for ID in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Interesting point being that people I went to school with in England are ALL now bald (all the boys and some girls too), fat (beer gut fat) and look like one foot on the scrap heap. They have all aged badly. That's the last rocky horror picture show reunion I'll ever go to. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hey! I'm fat but fit and hairy Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Soubs if you lived in the States, you'd probably be buying Size S clothes! Actually Thursday, one of my old school friends came our to visit a few weeks ago and we were discussing exactly the same thing, looking at all our old friends on Facebook. Quite surprised by how many of the guys are bald and grey. Lots of people with expanding waistlines too but only a few really huge people - but I guess that's just cos most of my friends are pretty active. Are there more balding men in Britain then? Seems like more women go bald in Japan than back home. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I guess it's the enevitability of not changing shampoos every few months. Never use Head & S, that stuff is toxic to hair follicles, so I've heard. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 nothing wrong with a baldy pate I'll have you know!!! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 sure saves on shampoo and conditioner. Not to mention the odd high light and rinse. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 yeah, I haven't paid for a haircut since I was 21!! Link to post Share on other sites
