So come on lads spill the beans how many of us are over 50.
Mick.

Which way Pete. Forward or back?

[Stufiley]

I think it's great that you haven't include the over 40's in the OLD catagory!

[Mick]

No Stufiley when you get to 50 bits drop off,your eyes go and you hang up your bell bottoms .
Mick

[Stufiley]

See this shows I don't understand, Bell bottoms? We wouldn't ever have worn them. When I was a lad it was all ripped jeans and safety pins!

........ you hang up your bell bottoms .

I only hung my bell bottoms up 8 years ago ......when in a fit of "mid-life crisis" I bought myself a Harley Davidson "Cruiser" motorbike [feet first type] .....those BB's let in a whole lot more draught at 70mph ....although admitably,they were getting awful tight on me

[traincliff]

Yes I admit it - 61! But many a good tune etc!!!!

Yes I can just remember the last trams in London (1952). Steam in all the London termini, Oerlekons on the LM DC lines, trolleybuses, Eagle steamers on the Thames, red and green LT buses etc etc - but cant remember what I did last week!!

I'm just trying to remember what hair is - then I noticed the stuff growing out from my eyebrows, ears and nostrils...I wonder why it's like that?
55 for me. I get a bit of cred with Chinese chics for being born in the year of the dragon.
