Apologies if I'm missing a brilliant joke here, but how can you vouch for the accuracy of its prediction?
I'm here until 80 apparently.

Just to add to Mr Setup's hugs, I, too, am sure you'll live a long and happy life, Gavin.
Apparently I've got until 93.2 years. Sigh. I really don't want to live that long ... I'll be all tottery and I'll dribble in my beard.

It's clearly an american site and under the assumption that since it never rains in Hollywood movies at inappropriate times, it therefore never rains in America after work and so one can have a barbecue every summer night.
Or something

Or more accurately, it's to do with the smoke and charred-ness of barbeque foods being carcinogenic...
Another over burnt chicken thigh anyone?
For the record, I've had one barbeque this year, and we ate it indoors as it started to piddle down.

I just took the BBC's test, and it said that i'll live up to 89 years.

93.2 years! Hardly surprising since I don't smoke or drink and am vegetarian...... What will I do with all this time?

I don't think there is enough dust in this world to be moved about and enough jigsaws to be completed to fill your 93.2 years.

The first site said 69.9, but according to the BBC I'll live to 92!

When I did it yesterday I didn't bother reading the whole thing - so can anybody tell me what the relevance of flossing everyday has to do with life expectancy? I'm curious.
77 or 89 for me. 83 then.

I have beaten you all!
93.6 years!
I think it was the the Vitamin E question that clinched it for me.
Wonder if I'll still be able to get it up.

I floss every few days, put yes and ended up with 93.6, but when I put no it only took it down by about a year.
Of course, I could get hit by a bus tonight.
