Fans over 50?

I'm 51 and thanks to the wonders of modern science and advanced medicine am able to partake of this thread, listen to RAM and drink beer.... ...all at the same time! Multi-tasking male that I am... The one problem that does seem constant is my memory, I have a vague recollection that Paul used to be in a couple of bands but for the life of me I cannot remember which ones... I think I must have partied too hard as a youngling! I have given up the late nights and loose women and I'm now proud to say that I'm an uptight citizen, a pillock of the local community!

Yeah, what are you two doing here over the hill?! You'll have plenty time to be over fifty (God willing), make the most of your youth!

Lisa And don't come back until you've got grey hair, you hear!! You're far too young and gorgeous to be hanging round here with crumblies like myself.... No offence to those who frequent this thread, although I'd imagine a lot was taken....

I only had to endure 8 years and 7 months before he entered mine in Dec. 1963!

Good to see ya..but I don't know how long! I found out I have cataracts! Dr. says it's just a part of getting old---WHAT!! I'm not OLD!!

LiverpoolBridey As the resident visually impaired type on here, I have been privvy to information about eyes.....(some of it quite disgusting!)......and sadly once you get past 40 it's the slippery slope, and once you hit 50 then the problems really start. I had a cataract op as one of my 12 eye ops......the best part of it all, toast! For some reason British hospitals think that every ailment, every heartache, every crushing blow to ones life and psyche can be cured by two slices of buttered toast and cup of weak tea or coffee..... So even though we are all spring chickens at heart we're actually on that long uninterrupted slide into that six foot hole....or in my case the fiery pit!! Don't mean we can't still party hard though, does it?!!
