Chris_Phillips · 27 February 2017 12:37

I’m getting a distinct feeling of deja vu here, but what the hell - I’m 62, and growing old disgracefully !

joecottrell · 27 February 2017 13:07

yes you’re right Chris, it has all happened before but as you get older, you forget; so this post has never happened before

Chris_Phillips · 27 February 2017 13:42

Ah yes, forgetfulness - I blame too much sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll !

joecottrell · 27 February 2017 13:48

I remember Ian Dury singing that

Actual age - 43

Mental age - opinions vary, but if you divide by 4 and subtract 2, you’re probably close.

53,just,and determined to grow old but never grow up. The current Mrs B. Would confirm that

Since there seems to be a majority of people here above or approaching retirement age, I offer the following advice (shamelessly plagiarised from another forum…)

How to Maintain a Healthy Level Of Insanity in RETIREMENT…
1 At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on, point a hair dryer at passing cars and watch them slow down!
2. On all your check stubs, write, “For Sexual Favours”
3. Skip down the street rather than walk, and see how many looks you get.
4. With a serious face, order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat.
5. Sing along at The Opera.
6. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream ‘I Won! I Won!’
7. When leaving the Zoo, start running towards the car park, yelling, ‘Run For Your Lives! They’re Loose!’
8. Tell your children over dinner, ‘Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go…’
9. Pick up a box of condoms at the pharmacy, go to the counter and ask where the fitting room is.
And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity: My Favorite…
10. Go to a large Department store’s fitting room, drop your drawers to your ankles and yell out, “There’s no paper in here!”

Cheers!
Aldi

Haha. Some very good ideas there. Must start trying them out

joecottrell · 27 February 2017 18:03

Excellent stuff

La_Dodgy_Vita · 27 February 2017 18:51

If I may add one (and I’m trying to work up the courage to try this)…

When using crowded toilets in the services; activate the hand dryer then act like Marcel Marceau pushing back against the air flow while sliding backwards across the room

Embarassed

At 72 years old I’ve just (2 days ago) bought my first MX5. A 2 litre sports from 2009 and with only 23500 miles on it.
Frustrated because it’s not on the road and won’t be until my camper van is sold. (The van inurance carries all the no-claims bonus).
Delayed gratification stinks at any age, but when you’re 72 it really hurts!!
Meanwhile, pass the Autoglym please!
