While we're lowering tone and asking questions the dignified wouldn't answer...

I'm not quite insane yet, but I feel I'm getting there. I think I'm 21 now, so it will hopefully happen by the time I'm 25. Big smile

9. Although the jury is out as to whether they were stolen from my schoolbag

'What age did you lose your marbles?'

Just before I found myself...maaaaan.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

I vote for 49 because this is my current age and I'm finally becoming increasingly normal.

Sanity?  I've heard this term before.  Confused   I think I swallowed all my marbles when I was about 1.  But the good thing about being insane is I always have the voices in my head to keep me company.  I just wish the CIA would stop trying to steal my thoughts.  Angry
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Speaking of the toy and not my sanity, I'd have to say around 9.  Watching Laugh In as a kid probably started the loss of sanity and then when I discovered Monty Python, it was all over.  I'm guess all of that probably occurred about the time I quit playing with marbles.  Coincidence or not? LOL

Also of note, I now have Marbles on CD and DVD which are discs and can be rolled or spun. Tongue

I know I'm perfectly sane, because my cat tells me so on a regular basis

And furthermore, wibble wibble, macaroni artichoke and a side order of armoured personnel carrier for my inflatable carboard banana please. Thank you, your grace.

Seeing as you are in allegedly in South England, that makes perfect sense to me.

That's the thing Slarty - the Pilgrim Fathers were the only sane ones & they left southern England with everyone's marbles; of course, the irony is, over the years, we regained our marbles & you chucked yours in the harbour in Boston with all the tea

I can't vote in this poll. I was born insane and it's not getting any better.
Actualy I promised my self I would never grow up and up to now (45 years) I kept my promise very well.

I always new there was something fundamentally wrong with this country but until now didn't know what it was. LOL

It probably started a little before 16 (the same time I got into prog. coincidence?). Now I feel like I have very few marbles that I lose track of occasionally but I usually recover them.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
