Over 70 if you still do not feel old, then I doubt you ever will.

Last week I was offered a Harley cheap, the guy was moving to Cyprus. Its 35 years since I've ridden a bike.

I was starting to think about the wide open road and wind in the hair until her indoors told me don't be so silly, you're too old now to think about another motorbike.

I thought 54 was the new 40?

Problem now is where can I hide it, and how far do I have to push it down the road so she doesn't hear me start it up.

I realised that at the age of 61 I had to think about giving up running half marathons. Now that I am 66, I realise that was one of the bad descisions of my life. I should have kept on running. If you don't use it you lose it!. I was at my fittest between the ages of 50-60 years and could have most probably remained a lot fitter than i am now by keeping to a training regime. So all you 40 somethings get out and get running, its good life insurance, and I mean LIFE!! I know a lot of you are looking forward to retirement, but retirement will not be much fun if you don't have the health and fitness to go with it.

Hi

I started to feel old when I started to work at the airport. Virtually all the staff in the office are younger than me as are most of the aircrews.

I s'pose it depends on what you consider as an indicator.

For me there were two things and both occurred in the mid '40's.

The first was that the previously flat belly started burgeoning and heading south and the second was I found myself feeling a bit wary when climbing something like a stile or fence, somehow the legs didn't feel the way they had before, difficult to describe.

Mind you that was nearly 20 years ago and now I'm surprised if I remember anything from yesteday.
