No county for old men...?

[percy toboggan]

A poster called me an old man' yesterday.
That's rich I thought. 'Cause I'm only 57 like!

It's the first time I remember being addressed as such but I supose I'd better get used to it.

Anyway, it started me thinking of the age mix in this forum.
Considering the alternatives being regarded as old is preferable to being dead. And actually, some of my favourite people are, and were 'old men'

So, which bracket do you fall into?
If this has been done before I apologise .

The vote involves a poll...with no offence intended for other Eastern European groups, homophonic English is at fault here.

I'm 37, but my body thinks it's somewhere closer to 60

[northener]

I'm touching nearly 50..which is a bit naughty as I live in a built-up area.

[joxville]

An age-ist poll percy! What about those over 110 yrs old?


I'm touching 44 but she'll wake up soon!

A late night chat with friends recently had us musing what age we'd have liked to have 'stopped' at , we it possible. Frozen in time as it were.
I chose 37. 1988, With a thirteen year old Son and a Daughter doing her 'O' levels I can remember thinking this was as good as it got. Not young anymore but with a modicum of nouse. Fit as a flea playing tennis and squash regularly. An old banger on the drive, a wife in her prime.Thatcher was the only blot.

I was never 25 in my head, not even when I was 25 ! Always thought 'older' I think and come to think of it I'd probably vote for Maggie now !

Growing older is not so bad., but the most intriguing bit is looking in the mirror and seeing your father.
(that's my father, not yours....oh...you know what I mean )

If I had to choose a year to stick at I would have chosen 1988 as well. Aged 23, my first summer of living in England, long and hot it was too. Met some great people, had a fabulous year, so many brilliant memories from that time. Met my future ex-wife too!!

The downside is my son would never have been born.

[floyed]

Well i am 27

[TBH]

Oh blimey! I'm age-ist now?
add it to the list

Would that be the 'ist list'?

I thought you were much younger than that, Hotrod.

[lynne duncan]

i loved 1988 was 17 then and the music was brilliant, the booze and crack was fantastic.

but 25 is how old my brain has stuck at, though by birth i'm now 37 as well (think there is a trend to the age of the orgers who are replying here)

but according to the bairns when i am in the swimming pool trying to chuck them off the floats then their age and when i get a fit of the giggles then definitely their age

attempting to run up the blackstairs then definitely makes me feel ancient

[arana negra]

I was 53 a few weeks ago and feel ancient right now colliding with a wall is NOT a good idea.

88 was a good year for me too. Was staying In England then too and remember the heat then in Dover ,it wer hot I tells ya
Plus I was frequenting Illegal raves and it was awesome, I think thats why they labelled it as "the summer of love 2"

[Thumper]

I am 39 but somedays I feel 19 and others I feel like 90 but then again we all have days like that dont we?If I could stay at any age I think it would be 25 but only because I was inbetween husbands at that time and happier for it x
