I heard on the news that the man who went off with the 14 year old girl is 46. They described the man as "middle aged".

When does middle age begin, and what are the symptoms?

Surely it depends on when you die? Hence, if you cark it at 10, middle-age starts around the age of 4!

Hello

Well, I imagine they started off with "Dirty old man" but decided that is to prejudiced.

LMAO! I'd say between 40 - 59 is middle aged! Mind you, some people are 20 and middle aged. All depends on your attitude/outlook/dress sense IMHO!!!

I am 47 and don't think of myself as middle-aged. If someone called me that to my face i would be tempted to punch their lights out. If I could get away from the zimmer-frame for long enough.
I dont seem to do anything differently from when I was 30, and I was not middle aged then. OK, I dont stay our 5 naight a week getting pissed out of my head and ******** anything in sight. But you get bored of that anyway, right?

Chance would be a fine thing!

Anyway as far as being middle aged goes the best comment so far has to be it is not age dependant more an outlook on life thing.
I know some people in their mid 20's who act like they are already half dead. Conversly I know some 50 yr olds who are partying as hard and enjoying life as much as ony of us.

Middle age always starts at ten years older than your current age.

Sorry Saint, but your well past middle-age

Do you reckon there's less years ahead of you than behind? If you can see yourself struggling on for another 50 years, then you've not hit it quite yet

Ozzy,

Does that mean I can start buying Viagra? I do hope so....

I do listen to radio2 and have recently taken up golf.

I reckon this could be the beginning of the slippery slope.

1/ Do you own a cardigan ?
2/ Do you Tut ?
3/ Policemen, do they look younfger than your kids ?
4/ Have you bought either a tracksuit, sports car or motorbike recently as this is sign of a mid life crisis and the onset of middle age.

1. Are you interested in gardening ?
2. Are you more interested in a cars creature comforts than its performance ?
3. Do you listen to Classic FM / Radio 4 ?



Cheers
