The big 60 coming up

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Gooders, Aug 6, 2021.

  1. So as the saying goes time & tide waits for no man. I will be hitting 60 next week & it doesn’t seem that long ago that 50 came around. I felt 50 was the point when everything was down hill from now on & I must admit the aches & pains have all appeared in the last 10. I do try to keep fit although it does become harder as the joints & bones start to creak :eek:
    How does or did the rest of the latebay community of a certain age find the big 60 :thinking:

    I’ve tried to keep fit, and keep looking at new things to do and learn about. Age shouldn’t be a limiting factor.
     
  3. I doubt we'll be worrying about it.

    In the past I've consumed enough drugs & alcohol to pass the Motley Crüe entrance exam, so I might give amphetamines another whirl to get me back down to my fighting weight. And smack sounds like a bit of a chuckle if I've got a bit of time to kill...

    I could rejoin the priesthood. Some of those novice nuns were gagging for a man of the cloth when I was a bit younger.

    Or I could stick with the jigsaws

  13. I turned 55 in June - definately starting to struggle getting under the bus and eyesight finally fading, I have to wear my Poundland glasses a lot now.

    My old man seemed to look and act much older when he turned 55, but my boys probably think the same about me.....

    I'm 60 in 3 years
    Only thing I've noticed is my eyesight is getting worse also after a long drive it takes a few paces to walk upright.
    But in general I'm ok, probably because I run up and down ladders all day.
