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.

?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!

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.

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 :))

"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!

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
