Ive seen a brass rubbing of the ceremony of the opening of Stonehenge in the National Museum and BTDT was in the crowd.
The candles cost more than his last birthday cake.
I am curious as I've known Jim for over 12 years and he was ancient when I first met him, pushing his zimmer gamely through the mud at a HFT. BTDT stands for Been There Done That but I wonder just for how long?
I remember him talking about his first shooting magazine, slingshots weekly, with discussions on how many cubits could you safely shoot a dodo at. I remember him weeping at the death of Yoda in star wars, saying "that poor young man". It seems that he was the inspiration behind Wurzel Gummidge and Catweazle, so he was quite the fashion icon in his day.
I won't even mention his gripes about the pyramids. It seems they were meant to be Cubes but they failed to follow his advice.
Having read that he had cut back on his writing work it got me thinking about the above issue. When I last visited him at St Viv's home for the perpetually bewildered he was getting a bit maudling at the passing of some of the artists he loved, Sinatra, Benny Hill, Will Shakespeare etc.
Anyhoo.. if anybody knows let me know.. nearest century will do

I heard he was a prefect at Noah's school.
His correct age can be calculated from the sacred scriptures :-

Good deals with these members
whatever grand age he has managed to attain, there will be a really scientific explanation for it...
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
If you read the 1st edition of sporting air rifle all will be revealed.
I'm not 100% sure of his age, but I do know that he used to take care of the rat problem on Noah's ark.

From the wiki:
The Girandoni air rifle was an airgun designed by Tyrolian inventor Bartholomäus Girandoni and Jim Tyler, circa 1779. The weapon was also known as the Windbüchse ("wind rifle" in German). One of the rifle's more famous associations is its use on the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore and map the western part of North America...
