People are living a lot longer, 60 used to be old. My dad is 70 this year, and I still don't think he seems old, as my job involves seeing lots of people in their 80s & 90s, a lot of whom are still quite active.


As a result of all this, the whole middle age thing is a bit confusing. I'm about the same age as you, and I don't think I'd call myself "young" anymore, but I certainly don't see myself as middle aged, as I don't think that really kicks in til you're about 50.

When do you think middle age begins? sooner than you think, and it ends during mid to late fifties,

after that when you hit the 60's you are old and achey and travel is a burden, and sleeping in your own bed at night becomes important.

You cannot stray more than 250 yards from a flush toilet and everyone you ever knew has moved away or died.

Do not worry most of you will not see it as the big blue flash will remove all hardships.

By mid sixties one becomes depressed at the miserable outlook of the inevitable future, as what future you once had is positively behind you.

I prefer to think that it will come the day I stop skateboarding regardless of which county I live in.


But who knows. It?s all fields around there anyway. No concrete in sight.

      Foxes

      Perhaps because those who feed them, don't give them proper food, rather stuff which clearly disagrees with their digestion. plus they are scavengers, eating anything they find,  You are not alone, likewise a daily occurrence clearing up their excrement. The worst bit is the bluebottles which feed off the excrement. IMO London needs a fox cull.

      I'm confused. Are you answering me, or Pugwash? If me, my nail with fungus was only  knocked off a few weeks back. So the nail hasn't grown back yet. I am not looking for someone to cut my toenails, as the podiatrist at the foot clinic cut them when checking the wound where the nail came off. It is Pugwash who is looking for somebody to cut their toenails, and MattGale has suggested Happy Feet as a cheaper alternative to Woodwarde Road.
