Where Will You Be When You're 80?

The Backwards Man

I dunno where I'll be, but I hope it's somewhere akin to my oul mucker, still singing away despite suffering from Lyme Disease for the last ten years that was misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's.

Maybe on a moon base. At that stage we will have successfully sent piloted space planes to orbit the moon and land on it providing us with all we need to set up a permanent settlement on the moon. The moon will be well and truly human friendly and with the Chinese and Americans competing to go to Mars the more adventurous trekkers will be on those missions to the next planet.

We will have come a long way and Russian, European, Indian, South Korean, British, Swedish, Norwegian, Swiss, Kazakhstani, Brazilian, Argentinian, Kenyan, Australian, Canadian astronauts will be boarding flights heading towards other planets in our solar system. The International Space Station will act as a space dock for commercial space flights traveling the solar system.

Dead. I don't see myself living a long life

The year is 2068.

Man has colonised Mars. Medicine and exo suits have eradicated aging.

The worker wars have eradicated the lower classes leaving just the machines and the wealthy.

I am one of those machines....

Balls deep in a 50 year old.

I will be a pill of ashes forgotten somewhere. :P

By that stage Monsanto will have taken over the world's entire supply of seeds with their GM monstrosities, allegedly.

I'll be staging a one-woman resistance to preserve the most vital of all foodstuffs and keep it freely available to those who can claim it as their divine heritage.

You may call me The Spud Queen.

_Whimsical_

I bet I'll have lost the run of myself and be one of those old people who goes to raves, and wears completely age inappropriate clothes happily oblivious to the fact that all my "young friends" think I'm crazy. I'll probably think they don't notice the age gap.

I predict this solely on the basis of it being the exact opposite of who I am and where my life SHOULd go and that seems to be the way my life tends to veer so far... like a bad shopping trolley, never in the direction that you'd logically expect or think you could rely upon.

Pherekydes

Probably on the track in Lucan. Or maybe the beach at Sandymount or Skerries.

_Whimsical_

Such optimism in this thread!

Grayditch

In the preservation tank, presumably.

80, seriously?

Valentina

By the time I'm 80 I'll have been dead for at least 10 years.

Imagine going for a job interview,

2060?


Dead.

Arghus

Hopefully still alive and still sane.

gigantic09

Getting ready to head to croke park, hoping Mayos 105 year wait for Sam will soon be at an end.

Riddle101

I hope to be one of those old people who spend their elderly years enjoying life and still be able to have fun. But who knows what could happen between now and then.

Your Face

Ordering hits.

KungPao

On Marlborough street, still bloody waiting for the first Cross City Luas.

topmanamillion

I'm relatively young now and I'm falling apart. If Cyborg technology isn't up and running and cheap, then I'll go with taking a dirt nap.

Badly Drunk Boy

In the unlikely event that I'm still alive, it'll be 2053. According to Star Trek: First Contact, that's the year that World War III ends and I've no reason to doubt that. (To be honest, that war will go on an awful lot longer than most predicted.) One of the main commodities will be the humble potato. The great potato blight in Europe will be a bit like the Romans; spread all over the continent but never reaching Ireland. Funny that!

*Something about air flight being seriously curtailed*

*Something about turmeric, cacao, carrots, gooseberries, and bamboo being vital*




What was this thread supposed to be about? I think I may have been distracted. No, I don't think I'll bother getting a Stannah Stairlift.

I don't make plans as such. I think to continue to be content is enough . Not in a nursing home !

Will Galway bate Mayo? D'you think will Galway bate Mayo?
Not now that their team is made up entirely of clones of Willy Joe. They haven't a hope of batin' Mayo!

I might be playing poker and going to Vegas to Manilow concerts like my maternal granny (85), or even better I'll be meditating daily and practising yoga and still be sharp as a pin like my paternal grandfather (almost 91).

I'll probably be dead though, short people die younger. Usually of heart issues. That'll be me.

irishguitarlad

Still constipated.

Judging by family history, most likely dead. If I do however make it to 2077, hopefully happily retired and living in a small little cabin by the lake.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Less than 8 years to go. If things continue as to date hopefully I'll still be fishing, doing the garden, traveling etc just like now.

I'll probably be worm shyte too, it would be a depressing thought if it wasn't for the fact that if I was alive I'd be pure cracked in the head..

Ruu

Still running marathons.

Getting a credit union loan and blowing the lot on booze and slappers oh yeah....
