The Oldies Thread

[LEONARD]

Like many in this thread I don't feel (or act) my age. I turn 66 in August (I genuinely don't know where the years went.)
The reality was brought home to me this morning when my bus pass arrived in the post.
I was lucky enough to retire from work aged 57 and I genuinely feel healthier and fitter now than I did then.

From next week I get my OAP.
It's just dawned on me that I really am getting old

66 is the new 50 mate, keep taking those multivitamins and minerals.

Never taken vitamins. Perhaps it's time to start now that I'm 'officially' old. lol

On all this conversion on heat and miles and that.

Apparently, if you have a watch with hands, and you turn it upside down, thats the time in India.

So midnight (UK), is 6.30 in India.

I'm 66 too and I know how you feel. It's not a nice feeling. It's like suddenly you have to adopt and live up to a new persona that you didn't want or conceive.
I'm nearly 67 and fit like you, exercising every day and listening to new music, reading new books etc. Don't allow yourself to slip into oldie ways, however tempting it may be!

I was in India in 1955. Unfortunately, I didn't own a watch so I can't confirm if this is true.

I think it is. The bloke who told me was a very well travelled man. Or he could be winding me up.

At least I haven't built the cost into what I'm not charging you to read it.


We can, if you prefer, do it the old way and you indirectly pay me.

Just do the 'kin quiz you grumpy mangebag

An answer so dry, you could put a camel on it and call it The Sahara.

Maybe it was the watch that needed wound up?
