David Kilpatrick Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Reading in some sensational news rag that people alive today - some of 'em - could live to be 1000 years old (which I doubt, as even trees don't often look all that good after 1000 years and things made of meat and covered with hide would look even worse) I see that I've had a fairly decent sale, but based on my grandfathers on both sides, and my father, the licence which has a further 25 years to run and expires in 2039 will probably outlive me. Do you think you will live to see any of your textbook licences renewed? :-) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdemas Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well, the Death Clock says that I've only got another 16 years to go, so erm...no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 That calculator is spectacularly pessimistic. I get age 72. The more scientific ones get me near 90. Only had 10-year licences so far so OK, touch wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had 10-year licences so far so OK, touch wood. I hope you're right about the pessimism; according to the death clock I've only two years left and I've not yet reached 60! I'll be really cheesed off if I die early and I'm diddled out of getting my bus pass at 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The calculator gave me to 89, another 21 years. Geeesh! I must be a boring g--! er Individual. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Jez, Allan, what the hell are you doing that's so right? The Clock only gives me a few more hours and I'm more or less a model citizen . . . except for the heavy drinking, drug use, late nights, lack of exercise and a few other things I'd ratherr not mention.

I would be less drunk and less suicidal if I could sell a few pictures on Alamy! Fat? Alas, too much. Still, I was hoping to get beyond 61 before joining the choir immortal.

Broad Norfolk Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 According to the 'clock' I've got about another 7 years. There was I thinking about listing 101 things to do before I die only the other day. Oh well, there won't be time to fit them all in now and do keywording as well! Jim.

John Mitchell Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I don't dare consult the death clock in case it tells me that I'm already dead. Seriously, I'm in the back 25 now (if Lady Luck is with me). I actually had one of those big (these days) 2039 textbook sales pop up a few days ago. Please keep them coming, Alamy, and I'll be sure to leave you something in my will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Brooks Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 A 25 year RM license will outlive me. This is an argument for putting everything into higher priced RF so I get my money up front. Unfortunately crowded street scenes or crowded beaches include people, so at Alamy they have to be RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 What the heck. As I am scheduled to die next year I may just as well splash out on that new Nikon D800 I have been agonising over. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
