When does middle-age start?

I'm about to turn 35 <ancientmuir>

I reckon this officially qualifies me as middle-aged.

I expect to live somewhere between 70 and 90 years so middle age is being between 35 and 45, no?

But folk keep suggesting that middle age doesn't commence until they're 50.

Are these pricks ignoring the obvious or is the term an etymological misnomer for a specific period of life?

Do you like WWE less once your middle-aged?

I do.

 

I'm going to be turning 35 soon too, when is your birthday, maybe we could have a joint party?!

 

November - if it's a joint party it'll need to be in Monaco.

Unless you fancy dropping the environs of the principality in favour of getting full of pills in Paisley

 

Depends where you live. In Glasgow it's 25

 

Tina insists that middle age started when she turned 50 a few years back.

 

Same here. Maybe we could go for a curry.

 

I'm in November too, I think maybe Monaco is the better option, but can you bring the pills over with you?

 

Strangely enough, I was going to mention a curry, but I thought it would bring back too many bad memories, or lack of them, as the case is.

It's a deal - I've got some of those pink ones that killed two folk in Perthshire - my mate says to take them a quarter at a time

Even if they're deathpills, taking anything less than a half at a time suggests an entrenched love of being ragdolled by big cocks.

 

40

 

Does that mean you expect to live to a minimum of 80 Jen?

Christ, sometimes, I really would like to not be Scottish

 

Happy birtday Jen.

 

Everyone is so old on this site, i thought i was being 27....

 

How the **** can you take a quarter, it was difficult enough to split the ****s in 2, let alone 4!

 

Him and his bird took them in quarters - took a grand total of 1 and a quarter between them (I've seen this guy neck dozens and then moan he gets hee haw off pills anymore so he usually "diversifies")

They had to phone a mate to drive them up the road (literally about 30 yards) from a party cos they couldn't walk.

I'm giving them a bye - I reckon they're full of hideous downers.

I generally give pills a bye these days - they're ****e, too cheap and full of crap.

 

I've probably had one in the last 10 years or so.

 

Pink Diamonds?

 

I never noticed what was on them - just that they were pink - I'll check tonight.






For my own sake, I should probably ask for this thread to be deleted <para>

 

Imho, middle aged has come to mean the wrong side of youth, and on the way to crabbiness, rather than the middle of your life. To me, it's around 45-50...and ends around 65/70 when you're officially (according to Hornette)..old. Elderly starts at 85...i doubt i'll get that far!

 

If you make it to 85 in my home town, you get a gammy from the queen.
