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!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
