Whats your midlife crisis? (Over 40s only!)

Ghost Buster

Well. Be honest.
Mine is 'Late Stage Ray Mears fixation syndrome". I used to camp in my parents fields as a kid. Then a few years ago when the kids came along i took to family camping holidays.....
fast forward 6 years .......
I own a machete, three tents, a flint and steel, two kelly kettles and just yesterday i made fire from scratch with two sticks and a bow.
The saddest however (i freely admit it) is that in the corner of my garden I have a bivi hammock under a tarp and i have taken to sleeping in it in the current spell of good weather. I can pop in for hot chocolate and see the telly through the kitchen window:rolleyes:
Im a sad sad 41 year old.
How sad are you?

I'd say Ghost Buster is a riot at the dinner parties these days when he whips out bottles of his own piss for everyone to "survive" with him on.

When I went 40 I suddenly start looking at motorbikes as if they were women. It still hasn't passed, I fantasise a motorbike continental trip from France to Italy.

Been 40 is crap. You lose your gumption and you feel a need for something new, but you have become to conservative and you get to hate change, so Catch 22

Then there is your health,,WARNING to over 40s never look up your symptons on the internet you become the greatest hypercondriac, you get indigestion or a cold, you go online and you immediately think you are having a heart attack, or you have cancer.

They say a man thinks about sex every 20 seconds when you are over 40 that becomes death.

I think Logan's Run nearly had it right, instead of 30 it should be carausel at the age of 40.

Long life:rolleyes:
