Its all relative to you not your actual age.

A nice 90ish year old who came in to my business moved to a retirement village. I asked how it was, She told me some young whipper snappers were a bit cheeky!

I asked if she needed any help with the "Young whipper snappers" she said she was fine and she could handle it herself. I assumed teenagers possibly? I asked how the "Young whipper snappers" were? She said they are only in their 80s

On Covid 19 news I saw NT drained about 100,000 litres of beer from the pubs when they opened. All the hotels near my place are pokies hell holes ( My view) Happily an old school pub will require a drive for me. In Vic that's still waiting till June.


Found some flatter ground to ride a bike yesterday. Bike path/walking track was a little busy. One lady I had to waited behind to pass. She moved left to right a lot more than straight ahead. I asked her if I could pass left or right side? She commented on LycraI apologized to her for all who some times wear it, I appreciate MAMILS can be seen as naked or truly frightening by some 1*oAZwUSKDWaDekG8UIv9yrw.jpegOn a brighter note she chuckled and offered a coffee and cake. I declined for social distancing and also riding to try and lose the little pot I now have. ISO life is tough. 9 months not running /walking is adding 10kgs. I am still below my 30 year old weight. My very old racing bike and my internal metal work make this a tad of a pain in the butt Do you think pink suites me Just kidding- I know its water melon coloured.

in this case yes.
i was thinking everyone 65 and over.

Oooh, ND. Where's your fashion sense? You just have to have colour coordinated gloves when wearing that outfit. Tsk, tsk!

I think you have just busted this thread wide open Navy Diver.

I don't think I am old until I look in the mirror and reality sinks in

Eric Trump says coronavirus is a ploy to stop his father's campaign rallies and will 'magically' disappear after election day

The **** doesn't fall far from the back of the cow. (an acceptable adaptation of "acorn -> oak tree)

MAMIL not a nice sight mostly. Then you get VOMIT, Very Old Man In Tights, also not a very nice sight. Then you get those that should not be in the same postcode as lycra, and I'll include me in the bunch.

The younger me would’ve dropped him.

You should have done it anyway

Quick boot to the nuts and a couple of uppercuts as he keeled over!
