The average age of a Parrot Head!?

Post by UK_FAN »

Hi all,

those who have read my previous thread will know that I am a very new Buffett fan, still wet behind the ears (I didn't even know what a parrot head was until today!).

I just wondered what kind of fans Jimmy has all around the world. This prompted me to start this poll. Forgive me if this has already been done, but didn't have the time to search through 280 or so pages.

(for those die-hard parrot heads, this your actual age, not the age you feel!!!)

For those over 59 - Sorry, I've just seen they wouldn't let me put more than 4 options, so put yourself down as 45 - 59!!!

I'm on the cusp. I'm 30 now, but later this year I'll change age brackets for your poll.

Congratulations pthd119! I wonder if you qualify as one of JB's longest serving fans on this forum? 31 years is a long time... Here's to the next 31!

I'm 35 and have been a parrothead since the first I heard Come Monday on the AM radio in my Dad's car I must have been about 6 or 7. Back when they played Jimmy on the radio and that song was a hit. :lol: :lol:

We did this a year or two ago. I believe the average
ended up around 36 or so. (Which I exceed by 19...)
Sorry... I'm not sure if my finger slipped or that was wishful thinking. :oops:
