    One of my favourite quotes is;

    "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing"

    Go to bed, jellyboy, you're acting like a confused old man holding a milk carton in the supermarket with piss running down his leg.

    I hate these labels people use and 'old' is right up their. Two of the coolest people and best party animals I ever knew where my late parents. They lived life to the full and never surrendered to conformity. They could mix with any age group and were usually at the centre of all the craic. So thanks to them, I grew up regarding age as being total insignificant/irrelevant.

    No, just referred to as old by people who are years off it - or are old before their time.

    Out of curiosity are you younger or older than her.

    Actually come to think of it are you with the lucky lady now, or are you just affirming your goals for next year?

    I'm a couple a'years shy of 30, but a few of my friends are around that age.

    We talk about how 'adulthood' has just kinda happened to us somehow, but we're still just a bunch of immature girls tbh, and we shall never grow up. NEVA!

    On reflection, the best thing about my 30s was the fact that I could still get away with doing all the stuff I did in my 20s. The next best thing was the fact that I could afford to...

    :D

    I find it very hard to guess ages. As I said, physically, some people look a decade or more older than they are but on the whole a 25 year old looks the same as a 30 year old to me. I dislike people who feel they are still teenagers in their mind, however old they are. I don't see the benefit of mentlly feeling like a teenager, that usually means the persn is a loud pain in the butt who drinks too much and makes a nuisane of themself (their idea of being young).

    Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

    i was pretty much a worn out junkie (djing and out all the time - caught up in that lifestyle) for most of my twenties, and now, im happier, fitter, healthier, better looking and all the rest of it.

    i look younger than i did in my twenties now.

    Why are people insulted to be considered old? What is so bad about being old?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 328 ✭✭snaphook


    I hope to live to my 100's which suggest I should reach my peak at 50.

    I'm only 33.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 328 ✭✭snaphook


    Although I did feel old when a child's mother referred to me as "The Man".

    :(

    Old at 30? WTF?:eek:

    Age only matters if you're made of cheese.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,103 ✭✭✭Tiddlypeeps


    It's all relative. When I was a kid anyone over 20 was ancient. Now that I'm heading towards the later half of my 20's 30 seems young. I see 50 as being old, but I'm sure in my 40's I'll change my mind on that too. I think we will always see people who are a generation or so older than us as old.

    I don't know the answer to that. I dont think old is thirty years but i knew some girls at school who were kind of owld wans when they were 14. I think its sad when the familiar sexy gorgeous face you know starts to look kinda..decrepit..but that doesnt generaly happen at thirty...in fact beautiful ppl seem to attain a new level of gorgeousness at 30. Even at 45.

    Now, if I could only remember where I left my walking stick...
