The rest of us fulfil at least one of those criteria ...
Unfortunately I'm one of those that fills all three... :( though it's only the balding that annoys me...

Considering my post was made about four years ago, I guess it'd be more accurate to provide an update, rather than just fixing a photo link...

So I'm James and I'm now 24 and about (hopefully!) to graduate from my Law degree at UEA in Norwich. I work in a well-known discount sports shop, but once I graduate I'm hoping to find something a little more enjoyable!

No need to post much more, really, as most of you have now met me in person!

Hello, I'm Andy, very old (well, wrong side of 35), and never done this before. Thinking about doing it. I may even knock up a route this weekend.

Just 251 people on the forum. What a very exclusive club I have just joined :D

Anyone planning doing the challenge soon? Would be fun to have a race against someone if I do manage to get myself up to London.
Current best: 19:51:10 (2014). Hopefully that will be broken in 2018 :-)

Welcome Andy. Probably the next big event is the Tube Olympics and the record attempt.

Might as well update mine while I'm thinking about it. I'm Glen, currently 24. Studied Pharmacy at University of Brighton. Currently working at my local Wetherspoons pub, but hoping to become a pharmacist once I found out my exam results on the 27th July.

As everyone appears to be uploading photos of themselves, despite having been forum members for some time, here's a picture of me with some pants on my head.

Harder than I thought knocking up a route. Already up to 32 changes! And still quite a way to go. Planning a route seems easy at first, then gets harder as you go along.
