OLD FART THREAD WARNING

In my head I'm a young, indestructible, buccaneer. Striding through life with an arrogant swagger.

In reality, my kids ask me about the olden days when I was younger.
My youngest son is worried that I'm going to be "going to heaven" soon!
I've recently changed jobs, I honestly own tee shirts that are older than some of my new colleagues.
My body aches.
I'm forgetful.
I need specs to read now.
I'm forgetful.
The mirror shows a battered and lined face.
I'm attracted to cardigans.
Also, I'm getting a bit forgetful.

I know you can't halt the march of time, but what do you guys do to at least slow it down a bit?
I'm feeling a bit old and aware of my own mortality, give me hope people!

The attraction to cardigans is not old age, it's an illness; get pills for it.

How old are you?

How old are you?

Early fifties. The new twenties, I tell everyone!

There’s never a good reason for a cardigan.

Lock yourself in a room for an hour and give yourself a bloody good talking to!

early fifties, I'm 53 this year and I certainly don't think I'm getting old , older yes but not old,my bodys knackered but my head still thinks I'm twenty though.

Now you see I'm thinking "stylish and practical" here.

 

[User32269]

Cheer yourself up by buying a new flask.

There's an idea. Cheers.

There's no hope, but I find giving it some welly and taking a Strava KOM of some boastful whipper snapper very satisfying and good for the ego, it can be done with the right tailwind even at my age and I am older than you.

I like that! If one of my young kids shows me how to use Strava, I may give that a go.

Cardigans I can tolerate,its when you start on the elasticated waist.

Blimey Odav I had you down as older than me, growing older is compulsory, growing up is not.

Good advice. In that spirit, I'm going out with my big lad for a blast through the woods on our bikes before it gets dark!
