Not old, Davis....but instead, wise.

Cheers RS - not wise, but certainly wiser than in my youth.

You don't run with the Big Dogs anymore, but you don't hide under the front porch either...semi-FOG.

^ I hate these questionaires where you fill in all the details for them to calculate your longevity or whatever, and then after ten minutes when you are finished they tell you that they need your email address.

Yes! I suspect that's why the first Mrs. Loomb ran off with a Postman!

Oh yes, I'm such a great catch I give myself the horn.

I'm going to knock the head off it tonight and blow a massive great load into a tea towel.

Same as I did when I was 15 so I reckon I am a friggin legend in my own lunch time.

Please destroy that tea towel, or I'll never take a food thread of yours seriously again

It's useful when the greasy pimp in the badly fitting jacket is muttering to you 'Try number 34, she can breathe through her ears'.

At 43, the worst effect I'm noticing is my eyesight. From someone who had perfect vision, I now can't see text on my mobile phone, the computer or books without reading glasses. Remote controls are a nightmare (without glasses) until I learn where buttons are and I have to have reading glasses just to see prices when shopping. I've got used to this.
But today, was a whole new experience. I'd bought a new brand of haircare products and I had to get out of the shower dripping wet and pad across the flat to find a pair of glasses to figure out which was the shampoo and which the conditioner.

Anyone else deteriorating?

43?? Wow! slipping fast, I still don't have close up reading issues, in fact that's the only one I don't have but I didn't have most notable physical issues until late 40's early 50's where I am now.. In fact I feel I was in some of the best shape of my life at about age 43.. Not so much now, as a recent kick ball game with my boys at their day camp proved when I came out of it lame .. Played well while it was on though! But the day after ..................................
