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.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Suggsy · Posted

      I also do not want to name a shop but there is one on Lordship Lane that sells fruit and veg and on several occasions now I have brought produce home to discover that what was weighed as 500g in the shop was 460g when I weighed it at home. And yes I checked my scales weren't wrong buy weighing a 1KG bag of sugar. Beware folks.

      Hi, My Nut Dog, destroyed it earlier this week.. Anyone have one lurking at home that is free or not retail price please? This one was only five months old..new.. my rescue dog has gone back into stress mode… not his fault either and no idea what has caused it but crate reduces barking and he settles. Thanks in advance..

      Local quiet restaurant

      By beansprout · Posted

      Check pugwash …recommended place in East Dulwich Grove.. can’t remember name of Italian near bus stop just before where Poundland use  to be..lovely staff, quiet back area..might be abit cold but inside area as well. Only drawback is steep steps to toilet downstairs. Personally like Viet place.. no shouting and toilets on ground floor. Lovely staff but some do have abit of problem understanding English! Someone else also recommended some place  in Underhill Road - open at night. Check Sue, kindly forwarded menu earlier on today. Think Italian place is due Fratelli… went earlier this year and staff were so accommodating with menu, seating etc…

      Maybe they need to extend the cancellation period out 48 hours to stop people booking speculatively?
