It doesn't matter what age you are, if you have a brain you realise 30 isn't old.

Euthanasia should be mandatory after the age of 40.

When you get old (47 here)....

as far as I see it, you're not allowed to have an opinion or even a thought on any subject, because you are a fuddy duddy and out of touch and the omg generation think you are loike soooo embrassing.

My teenage children tell me I know nothing because they know everything. I wish I was 16 again, because I knew everything then, these days I'm not too sure I know anything.

Find a pair of jeans that isn't designed for a teenager, I don't want to show my knickers to the world so it'd be really nice if shops stopped stocking mostly hipster jeans and trousers. I'm still coming to terms with turning 40 last January, so I'm not sure how I feel about it yet:(

is your problem the reason quite a lot of wimmin buy their jeans in man shops, is that the reason wimmin say jeans bought in man shops fit better.

IvaBigWun

Go on a bouncy castle or any kind of inflatable sober.

Spend as much time as you want doing what you want to do.

Work - housework - grocery shopping etc.

Probably, I never thought of that. Women have curves, teenage girls mostly have an androgenous shape, so jeans aimed at them don't flatter adult women. I prefer the fit of mens shirts and jumpers though, they're a better fit, a damn sight cheaper than womens and can look quite sexy.

Its all in the head and in your health...
Mentally some of us just go with the flow or the stereotype for our age and do what everyone else does, and thats what our health follows. These people are the ones that say (im oldd)

The people that stray away from the norm (pioneeres, athletes etc...) dont think about their age or everyone elses. They dont just take the easy lane, they follow goals and be happy no matter what happens around them. And the way I see it these people dont see themselves as old ever.

Although youll often meet that lad that ya think is just turned 18 and their 30!

Feel free to disagree

This is my favourite poem of all time. Just thought I would throw it into the mix!

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals,
and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
And run my stick along the public railings,
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
Or only bread and pickle for a week,
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised,
When suddenly I am old
and start to wear purple!

It won't last forever, as Mark Twain remarked:

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

Go to the the B&Q car park on a friday night in my modified car and pick up young ones who are impressed by guys with modified cars. Although the modified car culture is kind of dead now so I cant do it anyway.

My oulfella was climbing trees in his 70's so... Don't ask. I still climb trees when I can. Very therapeutic it is too. Nestling in the bough of a big chestnut, or better yet an old oak. Your conifers can be easier, but not as relaxing IME. Basically, keep climbing trees*.

Leather jackets. This is a moment not unlike when Uncle Monty says in Withnail and I "It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself, "I will never play the Dane." So too there comes an age where you realise a leather jacket looks... well, like you're just trying too damned hard. Kudos to Tom Cruise who can still pull that off at 50, but 35 year old Neil from human resources? No. You can start to wear one again, if your a 70 year old ex fighter pilot, or a long standing biker whose colours are stained with blood, beer and bile, but otherwise, sorry nope. Unless you're Lemmy, in which case play on.

Shorts. Nope. Nope. Triple nope. If you're a 30+ tubby bloke, usually balding early, revealing ears that cry out for the plastic surgeons sewing kit, shorts make your already stumpy legs look like you've been involved in an unfortunate encounter with a combine harvester.

Grooving(black mark right there) to tunez that are hip with 18 year olds. Nope, much of what being 18 is about, is well being 18 and scary to those that are 30+. If you're 43? Ehhhhh.

Lusting after 20 year olds. Shít they were dumbfounding and scary and unfathomable enough when you were 20, so it makes zero sense to think they might be a good plan now that you're 30+. Never mind that even if by some freak of the universe(and subdued lighting in a pub way past your cup of cocoa), you happen to pull one of the ones with an Electra complex and too many vodka and redbulls, her mates will inevitably enquire "oh I see your da came to bring you home". Ask me how I know. Not. :D She was cool, I needed me head read.

Then again, hitting 30 and thinking "oh... waistcoats are cool" is to be avoided too. As is "letting yourself go". Or avoiding all new things like "they were better in my day". Nope, they weren't. Well... sometimes they were. Today's Beatlemania is One Direction. Good fcuking Jesus. To think back in the day I once derided Duran Duran fans. They were an actual band, who wrote and played their own stuff and had a lead singer with lungs and some cracking tracks.

TL;DR? Don't limit yourself, however know your limitations, or at least know the bounds of good taste. Now where are me slippers. I need a liedown.





*that said, the thread hereabouts concerning what bones have you broken? Well my reply partially concerned the result of tumbling from a tree. Was fishing at the time and a goodly way from my car, so walking a mile with a busted rib was fun.
