What's a lot of sayings to have for a 40 year old?

howdoyouknow

A the saying goes, don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Chickens and hatching eggs aside I'm coming up on forty and would like a ball park figure of how many sayings I should have.

I know it will differ a lot with depending on profession, age, marital status, family, mortgage or rent and your location in the country but let's try to get an average to ease my worried mind.

I haven't totalled up all my sayings yet but I've definitely over 30. Is one saying per year lived enough?

All well and good as long as your not living in a post apocalyptic world there'll probably be no birds

Good tip

So far I'm none the wiser as to how many sayings a 40 year old should have.

Nobody's answered my question and instead they've provided more sayings.

Always have enough in your pocket to buy two pints of plain. You will be grand.

Most of the 40 year olds I encounter have only one saying - "Do you remember"

But they will vary it up like this -

"Dyyaa remember?"
"Do you remember that?"
"Do you remember them??"
"Do ya though??"
"Do you remember that? Do ya"
"You'd tell me if you'd remember it wouldn't ya?"
"DYYYYAAA Membbbbaaaaaaaa??"
"Do you remember it though"

1 is too many. I used to work in a pub back when I was in secondary school and there was nothing more annoying than the f*ckers with one saying or story that they'd shoehorn into every conversation every night.

'Are ya working hard, or hardly working?'

F*ck off.

Answering your question would involve speculation.

NEIN speculation NEIN! Zer vill noooo speculation.

Is it not 100% too big? (i.e. twice as large as required)

Not 40 yet but I heard a good one today from Al Porter on Today FM talking about a sexually unattractive person

I'd rather get up on a Monday

I think you'll find more interest in the savings for 40 year old thread.

As you have provided absolutely no relevant facts it is impossible to even provide a ballpark figure.

I haven't totalled up all my sayings yet but I've definitely over 30. Is one saying per year lived enough?

Despite the vagueness of your question test assured €30 will not get you far, but I think you knew that.
