Life begins at 40???

[piv34uk]

:thumbdwn: Just thought with my 40th birthday rapidly approaching (Tuesday 17) i would ask of the older ones "does life begin at 40?"

Having a party Saturday, strange but most of my friends are older and they keep saying its all down hill from here...LOl... Still nearly broke the back of the motgage:P and still have more mods planned for the octy..

Here`s hoping i`ve got my RS6 Silverstone experience as promised though, something to look forward to

'Life begins at 40' is a bit like a bird with little bangers saying 'more than a handful's a waste'.

It's just there to make you feel better....but not really true.

Oh great - roll on January :grumpy:

Remember though, you either get older or you die.

[Goochie]

You're as old as the woman you feel.

Trade her in for that teaching assistant at the school round the corner

[Lance]

Sniff sniff........can anyone smell pi55?

Are we talking"Sadie" Mr Gooch........ i know what you mean:orb_cool_

[Goochie]

Sadie is the one!

Oh, and that smiley with the shades and the wink looks just like you !

Was 40 this year, and in honesty I don't feel any worse..or better. However I would say that I can use the excuse "getting old" for aching joints much more easily without fear of untruths:D

Turning 40 left me feeling more relieved than anything else....wonder why:confused:

I'll tell you in 21 years time

[HongKongPhooey]

Oh great - roll on January :grumpy:

not you as well?

at least I won't be alone

[PussCat]

None of you are alone... I too turned 40 back in August this year.

Can't say it's made much difference to me so far

[matchmaker]

SWMBO will be 40 on the 26th and is really looking forward to it :thumbup:

BIG party :D:D

I will be 50 next year and am really looking forward to. There is going to be a fecking HUGE party :):):)

42 this year and still enjoying it. Now have the "mid life crisis" to excuse things like buying a sports car, having affairs, behaving in an upredictable way and doing wild stuff on the spur of the moment.

Well 3 out of 4 ain't bad:D Still time for the one I have not done so far;)

Seriously though it is just a number. I still feel 18 most of the time. Embrace the challenge of seeing another 40 years. Grow old disgracefully.

Quite so. I went out and bought some bright red nail varnish (Gloria Swanson style).

Was only to touch the car up with though.

That said, my car is white.

Swirlies! Wheeeee!

I wonder if people who reach 100 years check their emails each day on the off chance :rubchin:

Well on the off chance that they might get a better deal on their car insurance, viagra, usual miscellaneous rubbish, or congrats from Queenie :boing:

I wouldn't get too excited about that .... it's a little overrated

Nah it's bullpoo! It's all down hill from 40, aches, pains, increasing decrepitude, basically the body just surrenders.

Up to 40 I was fit and as strong as an ox, within a year diagnosed with arthritis, both knees goosed, its now spread to my elbows, hands, ankles, and neck. Winter is an absolute misery.

My eye sight is no longer sharp, I need to wear glasses for reading.

I've got Tennis Elbow from too much heavy lifting at work, God if I was horse they'd just shoot me. Life sucks after 40, I wish I was young again. :(

I don't drink, don't smoke and my only pleasures in life are my car and family, but honest I'm not bitter it just sounds that way

Eee Lad. When we had outside loo and dad took bucket upstairs at bedtime, Mum told us it was cos Dad liked carrying buckets around. We had our rubber balls and thought it fun to try to get them into his bucket. Sometimes we succeeded and other times our balls fell back down the stairs so we got to throw them again. As we got older, we realised that it was easiser to stand at the top of the landing and just lob them in. Of course, any that missed could not be retrieved so they had to go in first time. Our aim became perfect after a while and we all went on to become US basketball champions.

Just thought I share that with ye'all.

I've forgotten what 40 was like - 50 not far away now. It's just a number - you've got a nice birthday treat in store - I didn't even know what an RS6 was until someone posted a pic. Be grateful for what you have, and enjoy your birthday.

Edit: oops that sounds churlish this morning. Happy Birthday! :happybdy:
