Bloody shame, I admire his spirit!

Although if he had wanted to fight that great, he would have lied about his age......

Actually, seriously now - and no bawdiness at the back...

My eldest and pimpliest is 14. If he were to show an interest (unlikely, but even so) and found himself equipped with the necessary kit (even less likely), are we an 18s and over show or could he, in the best traditions of the service, lie about his age? I'm a bit worried, because I think he'd be quite good.

(I mean, it's only three or four years away!!!)

My 18 year old son (call sign "MadBenny") is interested , but I've told him not until after the leaving certificate exams this summer.

I think the term "Uncle" might soon take on a new resonance.

I think I'd feel a little uncomfortable with minors in tangmere. Not sure about others feelings?

I'm not anti but we'd have to clean up our act and keep it clean. I'm not sure we could sustain it.

Yeah and they'd be too mature for us!

18 is a good cutoff point.

And that is based on maturity - any of us who play FPS's can easily assert to the fact that there a lot of 18's out there that we would never want in TP :-o :D
