Following my brief stay in hospital last year Ihave received a letter for a follow up appointment. No problem.

I see it is signed by a person who describes themselves as 'Appointments Secretary: Services for the Elderly'

Yes? Well? What about it?

Ask ANYONE under the age of 25,and they will tell you that anyone over 30 is a fossil.

You are as old as YOU want to be, or not as the case may be.
I personally couldn't give a flying duck what number I'm up to this year.

Over 50 and you ARE in the twighlight zone. Like it or not, you will probably be dead within the next 20. Fact.
Something to almost look forward to tbh though if you think about it long enough.
I'm not saying be morbid and wish yerself dead or owt, but think of ALL the shite you won't have to endure anymore like! Heavenly! cloud9:

I don't think so - when I was working I used to have 3 pints every lunchtime and it in no way affected my spelling. I think it could be the lack of lunchtime booze that's doing it. I certainly write more creatively after a few!

I am 64 and I am still a fine figure of a man, in full control of my faculties, my own teeth and hair, hung like a stallion and can still manage it 3 time a night, and I still believe in the honesty and the ability of our wonderful Labour Party Leaders to govern our green an pleasant land.

As for "That Bird" ~ He appeared in Robins Nest with Tessa Wyatt (ex wife of Tony Blackburn) I can find no recent pictures of her on Google. In Man about the House he starred with two girls Sally Thomsett (Remember her from The Railway Children) and Paula Wilcox.

I feel Uncle has made a valid point we ALL (even BM) get older.

Personally I wish that the Daily Mail (and other papers) would leave these poor people alone. They have had their day and now wish to live a quiet life in retirement ~ hounding them to their graves serves no purpose except to remind us all of our own mortality.

More than a touch of the Brand and Ross about such behaviour IMHO
