ian_g_griffiths Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 They've changed the rules for getting a bus pass but at least I am now the proud owner of a B&Q Diamond Card. Or as I keep saying, I am officially a Diamond Geezer. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerces Fobe2 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Welcome to the cruel World of ageism which I first experienced at 44 years of age. I hope you have got a secure job as if not be prepared for a life of short term contracts with big gaps between them with months looking for work and attending pointless interviews where many employers passively destroy you !

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2015 My eldest bro is 60 today - where has the time gone, that as an 11 year old, I managed to "drop him" and from that day on, he never picked a fight with me ever again! 40 and a bit years on and I'm still not letting him forget.......................

CUTLER2579 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I once said to a woman pushing a trolley around Tesco in Vauxhall with a baby in it, It’s nice being a grandparent cos you can give them back. The Air was Blue for several minutes as I quickly realised my mistake and the queue at the till erupted in female laughter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 A few thoughts for you- 1/ Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional! 2/ Age is merely experience. 3/ grow old disgracefully, it is much more fun! 4/ Carry on as you did 20 years ago, you can regret it tomorrow when you wake up and your muscles remind you how old you really are!
