Act your age?

[bigbadwolf]

Do you lot think this applies to you. I was talking about this to my dad and he says he certainly doesn't feel like he's in his fifties. I still feel as indestructable as I did when I was a teenager and I certainly don't consider myself a man more like a boy but then again you're only really a grown up when you've payed off your student loan so perhaps I'll feel differently after I've settled the bill. Over to you.

Call yourself BigBadWolf? - you're just a puppy!

I'm 54 and this is the best I've ever felt...probably.

The optimum of youthful energy, wisdom and experience.

Well, energy and experience anyway;-)

[????]

Student loan....you're such a young naive pup aren't you .Kids is the only thing that made me grow up .....a bit - and I was over 40.

[TP18]

Am I the only one on this thing who is under 30?

[ThinLizzy]

After all the exercise I've done this weekend, I feel quite old this evening -- hopefully I'll feel youthful again in the morn :)

Dont mention that figure! Still some years 2 go and my study on the 30 something age group is not so positive :p

[TP18]

KalamityKel! You are officially the zygot of this forum, I am the big 3-0 in 6 months - I am scared (pause for effect)...so scared.

?Act your age.? That?s what my mum says to me on a regular basis.

She also says, ?Cut your hair? and ?Aren?t you too old to still skateboard??

I?m a happy, qualified professional with a career, nice house and beautiful wife.

But apparently that?s no excuse.

Oh and TP. I turned 30 just over a year ago. You should be scared. It's well old!

[Keef]

I'm 30, and until recently still tried to keep my student lifestyle going. However, marriage and an impending new arrival have definitely led to some changes of late... I'll never stop wanting my all night drinking sessions though. Guess I'll just have to appreciate the ones I do get in future. Feel rather happy with it all mind.

[Brendan]

See what I mean. Keef was so over the hill after turning 30 he had to make a replacement.

I LOVED my 30s...you lucky, lucky barstards

[TP18]

shouldn't you old folks be in bed by now?...oh wait, thats right, you need less sleep when you're older...that said, i'm off to bed...goodnight my aging forumites...

Yours truly

I'm 60 in July, and what the f*** does "acting your age" mean?

I'm 59 so consequently I'm acting my age! Whatever age you are, you're obviously acting it - by definition.

Do you mean, act how somebody else thinks you should act?

So one minute you're 29 (or 39 or whatever) and you act one way, then you wake up the next morning and you're expected to act another way?

What a load of b*l*o**s :))

[Annasfield]

29 in April :'(

[ratty]

Agree with quids that the only thing that made me part grow up was having a child. 38 and holding.

[SeanMacGabhann]

and this, ladies and gentlemen is ratty and quids Grown Up!

What were they like before eh?

(just teasing guys...)

[Keef]

So in a few weeks I'm going to suddenly grow up? ... Sh!t.

[ratty]

You will have no choice mate! :D :D :D

Actually - seeing a newborns first breaths can be pretty sobering!

A few weeks? That's come round quick!

[PeckhamRose]

"This is not my beautiful wife". "Oh my God, how did I get here".

I am 50. I am a motorcyclist. I had a crap childhood and have never wanted - nor have I had - children.

I live in one of the most exciting diverse cities in the world.

When I feel down I jump on the bike and either ride round London, or go down to the coast - Brighton or Thanet.

When my mother was 50, I was 19 and - looking at photos of her at the time - she looked like 70.

Where as I look fabulous.

But as for being grown up - having a child is no guarantee of that happening!

[boosboss]

Where did I see the saying "Growing older is mandatory, growing up isn't"? ;-)

[Jah Lush]

I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up.

[Cassius]

Old enough to pay bills is quite old enough!

[bigbadwolf]

And bar tab eh Mr Lush.

[Jah Lush]

Indeed! I managed to piss close to 400 quid up the wall over the weekend on a three day bender so I'm feeling my age this morning.
