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.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, and explain that I understand the nuance of editing, story-telling and reporting better than many, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.

      We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)

      We did but they would not budge.   Anyway this was last year - things may have changed and staff may be different. It was a man who served us.

      Because some people have weird fake beliefs and when people point out just how fake by pointing at actual events the fake people get all huffy and say “this is why “ make your argument instead of repeating  nonsense - why am I wrong? Because what you have said doesn’t make that argument  or admit you might have this wrong  Which words on my last post are false or make you not post? What is the problem ? Someone posts: “You don't know what you're talking about, Sephiroth,” and I reply with that happened.  And this same person the responds with “this is why people don’t post on the forum anymore !” like - they were rude  to and dismissive of me, right?  But I’m the bad guy?
