I think people like your self tomo , wont have a prob getting older ,because you led a active life and kept your self fit, ok you put bit weight on , most do when they get over 30 , but you loose bit of weight around the 60 mark as well . What Its held me in good stead is keeping lurchers for 30 years, with either lots of lamping, or lots of mooching just keeping active. I went to local hospital last week to start phyiso on my right knee, the bloke there who looking after me for my knee, was shocked when I told him my age he thought I was only 50 , so that's knocked 12 years off lol . he said for my age I was strong+ fit , he asked me what I do to keep like I am. I couldn't say lamping in the early hours walking 3-4 hours , jumping ditches getting over 5bar gates all night, or he think I was nutter , so said walking my dogs and gardening lol . 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 This about sums it up. My days of youth are over, my torch of life is out. What used to be my sex appeal, is now my waterspout. It used to be amazing, the way it would behave. As early in the morning, it stood and watched me shave. As old age grows nearer, it's size gives me the blues. To see the poor thing hang it's head, and watch me shine my shoes. TC 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
