Why if you go to an under 50s club and you’re one of the oldest it’s no way as bad as when you go to an OVER 50s club even if you’re one of the youngest there? I know ageing affects us all and I’m lucky I have my health and stuff but I still don’t like over 50s stuff… went swimming early other week and an over 50s club was on….which I qualify to use no problem…I’m 52….but
is 50 THE number? No I’m not moaning….just talking out loud and sharing experiences I wish I didn’t have 
just wait 8 yr and then you’ll be depressed
Thanks for that Kenty ….. The big 50 will be banging on my door in the not too distant future & you just p’d on my parade so to speak!!
I am dealing with it by believing 50 is the new 40.
Saga means discounts on travel & motoring both of which I am fond of.
My kids are more or less dependant young adults & can enjoy again being able to go for a drink with the worry or expense of finding a reliable sitter!
I am looking forward to downsizing the minute they leave home so the bugga’s cant come home ! ( tongue in cheek )
My retirement can be taken at 55 if I so wish … not that I can afford to
I am not ready to head off for a blue rinse OR recieve cotton hankies or lavender talc as gifts. (don’t even think about it .. youknow who you are !!)
I cant wait to be honest …. I’m young enough to enjoy life & old enough to know better but not give a monkey’s. It is but a number & bring it on … wooohoooo
yeah right wait till you get there
yeah right wait till you get there
Tis being so bloody jolly that keeps you going innit !!!
Cheer up fgs you’ll be getting a free bus pass soon bet you’ll moan about that too
Too bloody right i will
Pete’s voice of reason made me laugh knowingly then lol
Remember all – forewarned is forearmed.
All those 80 year-olds were once like you – increasingly anxious about age with each year, increasingly in denial, increasingly nervous about deriding older people. Their sex-drive hasn’t gone away – think about it. All of us will be soon like them – well, hopefully all.
Enjoy life while you can. When you do get very old, it’s like a particularly scary horror movie, I am told – a sense of foreboding, and a nightmarish closing act.
Enjoy life while you can, and ignore idiots in JC.
Ms k, you are just becoming aware of something called ageism, and it’s deadly if taken seriously. 40 is THE number. Then when you’re in your 40s, you realise you’re not old and 50 becomes THE number. And so it goes on. Stuff em. Avoid clubs, Sage holidays, abusers (unimaginative idiots or even oldies thesmelves in JC) and all the other things telling you that you’re finished. If you take them seriously you really are finished – look at the beige brigade and avoid. You are you – not an age, not a race, but you. Hold your two fingers up with pride.
Blimey sceppy poohs……I was jus saying like …..no ones been ageist or said anything negative
you oldies are well touchy
Arc you’re welcome
seriously though I never had a problem with my age….telling anyone my age….approaching 50 I wasn’t overly bothered……it was just once it hit me…as for peeing on your parade….make allowances it’s my age lol…..all things considered I know I’m lucky…..especially after what happened to me last year…..I shall stop thinking about it too much…..avoid over 50 clubs (for now)….won’t go into Bon Marche either
Wait till you go somewhere and get the discount, all i could think was… shit i don’t want it
Arc, I’m sure you’ll look a picture in a hairnet and rollers with wrinkled tights on
Scep ffs me Mam is in her eighties and still loves a laugh and joke as much as anyone. If you were in here house she would personally, physically throw your mardy arse the foook out with your outlook on life.
