I will never be middle aged

I was hoping to go from overworked and underpaid, straight into grumpy old so and so. Cut out the bit in the middle.

[veggiechicken]

Middle aged is a silly expression! If our allotted span is 3 score years and ten, then middle aged would be 35. How many 35 year old think they're middle aged? Grumpy old so and so's maybe

[Drea]

Well, I'm very sorry if I've offended anyone, it was supposed to be a joke...

[veggiechicken]

Hope you don't think I'm offended, Drea I'm even younger than Mikey!!
He'll argue this, of course..........

[Peas'n'Kews]

OK, now I've forgotton what this thread is about!

By defination, I am middle aged.

As the "man I feel" (sorry mods!) is older than me, that makes me older

As my optimal age is somewhere around either 8 or 28.......

Maybe I'm just confused!!
(oh, yes, that'd be it....)

Certainly don't feel middle aged - old sometimes, but NEVER middle aged.

And if anyone want grumpy so and so lesson, I vounteer Mr PnK!!! (who I love dearly, by the way)

[julesapple]

Oh my, I sounded so middle aged then....

Have you ever come out with something (verbally) and thought 'Oh no...I sound just like my mum/dad/granny? That's scary.

I think I hit middle-age with some things earlier than with others. I realised this when, years ago, I walked in on the DD watching TOTP and said 'What a bloomin' awful noise!' and sounded just my Dad did when I was a TOTP fan.

I'm late forties. That's middle aged! I sometimes wish I was 14 again and could have another go"......but no problem with middle age. I also hope I make old age!

I think middle aged as being mid forties onwards.......old is 72 +

Too specific?

[binley100]

Speak for yourself Newton........
Anyway who's to say at what age you have to go for the blue rinse and cauliflower hairdo , or trilby hat and turnups .......

[Farmer_Gyles]

[Drea]

Oh no, now look what I've started

[Mikey]

I think you've reached middle age when you lie about how old you are, and you've reached old age when you shout it from the rooftops again as though it is a badge of honour.

Ancient used to be when you got a letter from Her Majesty, but there are so many of those now I'm not sure she still does it. I was quite looking forward to that TBH.

Its funny how the ones who want to tell you how old they are, expect you to say "No, You can't possibly be x years old. You don't look a day over 50/60/70 etc!! Usually they are the ones who look really ancient and you have to cross your fingers while "complimenting" them.
Mind you my Mum's 92 and I tell everyone she's my sister!

[Mikey]

Mind you my Mum's 92 and I tell everyone she's my sister!

I don't know what to say to that VC, does that mean she looks good or you've had a hard life?

Does ma'am as in arm, still give out letters?

[veggiechicken]

It makes Mum laugh and embarrasses anyone we're talking to, so its worth it!!
I'm pretty sure Ma'am still sends out letters, hang around a bit longer and you'll find out
