50th Birthday present

[ColinJ]

True enough
When I started work aged 20 I though the 27 year old in my office was "an old"

I dropped out of my first degree course. I worked for a few years in a dead-end factory job and decided that I had better pull my finger out and get that degree so I went back to university aged 27 . I felt very old compared to the fresh-faced 18-19 year olds who were studying with me!

9 years make a big difference at the age of 18. (A 9 year old is a child, and a 27 year old is 27 years OLD!)

I am now 60 and don't really notice a lot of difference between 51 year olds, me, and 69 year olds, as long as they are healthy and fit.

Happy 50th

Hey, these things shift!
Almost home today and did a little loop back past the shops.
Old guy with one of these decided to cross the road I'd just signalled to turn into.
Grr I though as I turned but he made it across and beat me
I was on the roadie too

Happy birthday, 50 is the new 30 bye the way

Wow @Mrs M

Although it is not really my kind of bike I think that Pashley of yours is stunning.

Love the colour scheme & those swoopy lines.

Have a trial gliding lesson. Or clay pigeon shooting.

Blimey, you could get a half decent bottle of wine for that price

You clearly didn't spot the 4% discount offer at the mo...

Happy half century.

It's coming over the horizon for me, soon, as well ('66 was a good year, what?), and I'm in the same quandary.

One thing is for sure, though. I don't want stuff. I've accrued too much over the years and I'd rather have a nice experience than a gadget, or a keepsake, or a load of old tat.

Get her to take you round Kent on the Orient Express, or something. We did that as part of Mrs. 66's 40th birthday year and I'd happily do that again.

Or Shirley?

Or Shirley?

You are "Dreaming", do you think the wife will simply say "Alright Now" or that it is "Hightime" to see "What is going on in your head", it then becomes a "Crime of Passion" leading to "Heartache"

I ought to amend that

I got a 'TVR TrackDay', down at Bruntingthorpe, & played with a Chimera, Griffith, Cerbera & a Sagaris

Whilst the Sagaris was the most mental, with the ability to pass & out accelerate the Lamborghinis out on the runways, the Griffith 500 (pictured) was the one I rally wanted to bring home
It's just so delicate looking, but goes like stink, & sounded awesome

Sadly, requests for a viewing of XH558, as it was there, at the time, before transferring to Finningley (where, co-incidentally, it was based at one time!) were politely re-buffed
