Bloody hell ....... is everybody on here younger than me? I will be 50 in a few weeks ....... that is sooooo wrong on so many levels I can't even begin to tell you. In my head I'm still 21 though
Mid 30s, I forget the exact number, I will never lose my inner child though

True Pops ........ and I'm trying really really hard to convince myself. I'm also reminding myself daily that growing old is a privilege as not everybody gets to do it ....... but its all a bit half hearted if I'm honest. I don't like getting older, I don't like looking as though I need ironing, and I don't appreciate the fact that I keep thinking my mother is staring back at me when I look in the mirror.
On the plus side, I do have a great collection of vinyl disco albums that I wouldn't have if I were 20 years younger!

Its when you can't find the mirror to look in .
Its time to worry.

I only use 2 mirrors in the house.
Both of them have poster size images of me when I left the army and was, as the youngsters say nowadays, ''ripped''
I marvel at how little Ive changed over the years and how taut and toned my body is.
I like to remind Mrs P of this fact, and how lucky she is to have me, as she spoon feeds me my soup and wipes my chin.

You have got that all back to front and upside down, it's not your body that's ripped - its the posters.
Pops ~xx~
Listen you!!!!!
Ive just had stitches removed from my leg.
The nurse was commenting on the awesome muscle definition of the leg and the rock sold calf. She figured the only way you can get that toned is by regular workouts and was admiring the mental and physical discipline this showed.
Then I realised she was talking to the bloke next to me![]()
*Eh?*
*Hello???*
*Is there someone in here????*
