Can you imagine what this forum would look like 10 years later? The teenagers would be in their 20's and a new generation of talented young people would be the young ones.

Would we still be as hyper and as random as now when were're 10 years older?

I'll be 26! That'll be scary. I hope we're all still on here though. 10 years time, really does sound quite scary!
Choddy
In 10 years time, I will be four days off 25 ohmy.gif

Think..2015!

Maybe I might be the top poster by then, but I'm not guaranteeing anything!

Wonder who who win the awards then. Would it be the same people as this year? And will Come In, Sit Down! still be going on? It would probably get to a million posts by then! laugh.gif

I'll probably still be working towards my LRSM. sad.gif

I think what's sometimes more interesting is thinking about the past.

For example, 10 years ago, I was still 4 years old and had only just started school, didn't play any instruments and lived 300+ miles from where I do now..

And now look where I am!!! biggrin.gif
Car Expert
I'll be 24!

I probably would have married Nat for real by then! tongue.gif wub.gif

And I might have decided by then whether I'm going to continue with accountancy, start teaching singing or just be a hobby musician.......

23 or 24 a few weeks later. I still won't be so old, it's the party years.

I'm guessing Andante will have an FRSM with distinction, katyjay will be teaching singing and singing in concerts... Car Expert and Nat? Well, you never know..

Too tired to make any more guesses, maybe I'll be more inspired tomorrow.

I'll be 37!

10 years ago I'd just started my A levels... blink.gif how'd that happen eh? Times flies... ohmy.gif

Oh don't.... Half my life ago, I went to university.. Following those various forum members who've just gone off there makes me feel SOOOOOOOOO old !!!! sad.gif

Still, at least in five weeks I'll still be able to afford a takeaway. They will be looking at their first shift in McDonalds™ lol tongue.gif

mrbouffant: scary ain't it ohmy.gif

katyjay: hehe! yeah, actually it'll be a prom concert... and then you'll do all the soprano roles on the Last Night. What d'ya reckon? smile.gif

LadyOrchestra: 28 isn't that old. No really. Honest. unsure.gif (27 seems so much older than 26, why is that???!)
katyjay
Sarah, I rather more envisage Jo's Grand Finale Ensemble filling the whole of the arena! tongue.gif

Preach it, CE! I married a girl who I always thought was WAY out of my league... Then again, the subsequent divorce might have proven the point... ph34r.gif

YAP, it might be better to propose in person rather than on a forum? wink.gif

I can't believe all these young people are so scared to get 24 or 25 years old. That's STILL very young, don't worry about that !
Last year I celebrated my 30th birthday : never been so proud ! I think it's a wonderful age : I'm becoming more mature while still being young ! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif smile.gif

Don't know what you're all worrying about. In 10 years time I'll be getting my bus pass, zimmer frame, and that special shampoo for white hair ohmy.gif

In ten years.....I'll be in my Mid-Thirties. Very Scary. But on the up-side, you'll have to call me Dr wink.gif I'll have been married for nine years and (hopefully) have children biggrin.gif
Rainbow
Well..... in 10 years time I'll be 25 nearly 26. I'll probably have finished studying and have a job (hopefully as an interpreter), I'd like to be married but I'll have to wait to find the right guy (he hasn't appeared yet sad.gif ) I might even have children! And I really hope I'll be a lot more musical and a lot better at viola, piano and singing than I am now!

Ten years ago I was 5, nearly 6. I lived in the same house that I do now but my life was completely different. I didn't know most of the people that I know now and I didn't play musical instruments.

yeah - I can identify with most of that!
Not the white bit though - I refuse to go white. Completely that is.
