Are you sure you've got that round the right way?


I'm just too short for my weight!

I was 40 last November, either get older or get dead, might as well make the most of it, I enjoyed my thirties more than my twenties and I am not f*cked yet, dont feel any different, but then, I dont get older, I get better

I still wear the same jean size (30/32) & indeed the SAME BRAND of jeans as I did when I was 16

I remember the Brutus jeans ad from when I was a teenager... And thanks to Youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmJ3Lo4FBQw.

At 30 your Xmas and birthday presents go downhill to such things as nasal hair trimmers, ear hair trimmers and grey hair remover. (You do find that you do need all those things, however.)

And if I don't get chance to wish you one before 7th, have a happy birthday, young pup

Exactly, life is what you make it, no need to be so pessimistic. I've worked with 50yr olds fitter than most people my age.

Do you really want to know?
Judging by the size of that girls knickers, I'd say 1981.
At least lasses got some cloth for their money those days, not like the floss they have half way up their backs they waste their money on these days. And their loud music all sounds the same and they have no respect, calling us old and grumpy.

Actually, I thought it would be older than that. Although, of course, I would only have been about 2............*ahem*

(BTW, we are in France at the moment, in the 3 valleys, skiing... Well Dave is, I've busted my knee and sitting in the hotel reception, but that's another story )

Inspiration is meeting a 79 year old from Cumbria who skis 3 or 4 times a year and is fit as a butcher's dog. His mates call him "old man", they are 75 and 71. They also run a ski club up in the lakes and do the hour hike from the car park every week in the winter. Other hobbies include mountain and road biking, including camp touring with a tent and all they need on their bikes. They recently did a tour of the Scottich West coast.

So, when I hear people moan about their lives, go out and do something. OK, it doesn't go well every time (my knee is still busted!), but what is stopping you?
