DIY Si - 11/10/06 at 08:25 PM

Small boy (10-12) mentally, knees and back are pushing retirement age, actually 22! Until Friday, then I'm 23.
Oh, Ha to all those people that said I'd never make 21.


Jon Ison - 11/10/06 at 08:26 PM

still wrong side of 40 I'm afraid, a 4 year old keeps me on my toes though, loving every minute of it...........


Lightning - 11/10/06 at 08:31 PM

Its true though you are only as old as the women you feel.....no further comment.


Agriv8 - 11/10/06 at 08:31 PM

Actual age 34.

in the thu meaning on the no fear ' The older I get the faster I was'

wife says that I have a mental age of 13.

There's no voting option for the under 20's. Not that I'm under 20 but if I were, I wouldn't be able to vote. Aren't there laws against ageism.

DIY Si - 11/10/06 at 08:33 PM

There would be if he'd put the arrow in right. Bloody amatuers. Does anyone know who's oldest/youngest on here?


dilley - 11/10/06 at 08:34 PM

>20


RichardK - 11/10/06 at 08:35 PM

You know when you are getting old if you can do without sex but can't do without your specs

Rich


StevieB - 11/10/06 at 08:35 PM

Mentally 12, and always will be.

Physically feeling 50 after years of carrying rediculous loads over long distances whilst cold wet and hungry (but both my queen and my country were worth it!)

Actually 28


DIY Si - 11/10/06 at 08:37 PM

Nope, that's still greater than 20. <20 is what you wanted.


mad dad - 11/10/06 at 08:37 PM

dilley - 11/10/06 at 08:39 PM

i felt that the other day its a funny feeling!


robinbastd - 11/10/06 at 08:43 PM

Ouch.
Where was the 40 to 45 section? Ticking the 40 to 50 bit gave rise to feelings of impending middle age.
Wife 34,so that helps.

stevec - 11/10/06 at 08:44 PM

I started getting that feeling in night clubs when I was 21!

Now when I go to such places, rather than oggling, I feel like asking the girls if their mum knows they're out this late!


matt.c - 11/10/06 at 08:58 PM

dilley - 11/10/06 at 09:01 PM

wilkingj - 11/10/06 at 09:26 PM

Blinkin 'eck!!!.

Im 54 in March.

Growing OLD is compulsory
Growing UP is optional

in the last 10 years:
Rebuilt two Lightweight Landrovers from the concrete upwards.
Re-Chassis'd my daily ride - LandRover 12 seater, 1984, owned and self maintained for last 12 years.
Built the Viento.
Not too sure what to do next.
Wife is just happy that I am in the garage and not chasing women


DIY Si - 11/10/06 at 09:27 PM

I didn't think people that old had the get up and go to chase women anymore?!

peterriley2 - 11/10/06 at 09:45 PM

id hazard a guess im the youngest, 17 and about half a year until im 18. there was a 16 year old but i think most people lack motivation at my age- ill prove em. its a bit of a juggle with all the other stuff i do but i decided its probably the time in my life when ill have most time, and also i cant wait


Macbeast - 11/10/06 at 09:46 PM

Whippersnappers the lot of you.

The month I was born, we had just beaten Rommel at El Alamein. Work that out with your sodding New Maths


DIY Si - 11/10/06 at 09:55 PM

Crikey your old! That makes you 63/64! Having said that, the wife's dad is 58.
Edited to say, done using my old maths. I was taught a proper way, but did run out of toes at one point.

Remember, women that old cannot run that fast either


dmottaway - 12/10/06 at 02:17 AM

as one of the elders, I feel compelled to tell the short story of the two bulls.

Young bull says "hey, look at the lovely cows! let's run down there and get us one!"

Old(er) bull says "let's walk down there and get them all!!"

"phelpsa" must be the youngest on here, wasn't he doing his GCSE thingies a year early this year? That would make him 14/15 I guess.

Wish I'd started that young, car might have been finished by now


donut - 12/10/06 at 08:00 AM

soggy 3 - 12/10/06 at 09:34 AM

Also 34 and have just become a full time dad!!


Dave J - 12/10/06 at 12:50 PM

You youngsters aint lived
I'm old enough to have seen Lotus Cortinas, Jag E Types, Ford Anglias , chevvy cameros, mustangs and Aston Martins to name but a few racing in saloon car events at Mallory Park in the 60's. Graham Hill wiped the floor with everyone in a Lotus Cortina, and in between races he water ski'ed on the lake. Top bloke.
Don't think Schooey could have coped with that!

Oh incidentally, 52yrs young.

Congrats on the newcomer soggy

Becoming a father has to add at least 10 years onto how old you feel!

I jumped 10 years when I got my first mortgage and another 5 years when I got married. Now I feel thoroughly grown up and laden with responsibility - couldn't handle kids as well!

I've got two teenage boys who are great fun and also very handy grovelling into tight places on the kitcar where my poor ageing bones won't allow. I've had the eldest upside down in the footwell doing the occasional job.
Yup kids can be a pain in the arris, but veree handy at times

Oh and their favourite sport seems to be taking the p*ss out of my decrepit age.

Cheers

Now, any chance of a 60+ category, then I wouldn't be in the "really old" group.

jolson - 12/10/06 at 10:21 PM

45? How the hell did that happen?

I'm thinking it's got to be a clerical error. Where is that birth certificate???


DIY Si - 12/10/06 at 10:22 PM

He was in the year before doing his GCSE's as he took french a year early.
