    its kinda relitave to what age you are your self, some kid is probably gonna think your old, just as you may consider somone of 35 old, but i dont think you will consider yourself old when you are 35 ..

    How long is a piece of string?

    A few years ago I'd have thought 20 was old, but now I realize most of my friends and work colleagues are 20 or older. I'm damn sure I won't feel old when I hit the next decade...

    Old is a state of mind. (oooh the philosophy of it all rolleyes.gif )

    here is the maths equation to find out what old is.

    let
    X = old
    y = your age
    z = size of your shoe
    W = Average speed of an unladdened Europen swallow flying south

    X= ((W/2*y) + Z) * 2)

    Lads, your as old as you feel you are. In my opinion around 80 is old, but then what do I know. My uncle is 70 and looks like he is 40-80 so like old is in the eye of the beholder or something ****e like that.

    My grandfather,... Doc's too, incidentally ( tongue.gif) is in his late 70's and must be one of the fittest, healthiest, most active and happy people I know.

    Oldness is a state of mind.

    Of course, it can also be a state of decay... but that's pushing it...!

    As for..:
    Old is that time just before you die

    ... true... if you live a long enough life and don't die when you're , say , 15... which I believe was C B's point. My ex-girlfriend, who died before she was 18, certainly wasn't old.

    Oldness is a state of mind.
