Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: autolycus Date: 09 Jun 11 - 05:57 PM "Starting to get achy. Does that get worse?" Varies from person to person. Go to whichever type of medic is your preference and find out what it's about in your case. Go from not knowing to knowing. |

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: Myrtle's cook Date: 08 Jun 11 - 09:19 AM 42 years to date. Although when I go to a sing around/folk club after a long day at work and look and and listen to some of the singers who are retired I realise it's me who is tired, grumpy and jaded. |

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: YorkshireYankee Date: 07 Jun 11 - 11:19 AM Mr Crazed, I was trying to imply that your arm had been seriously twisted... guess my attempt at humour was a little too opaque! |

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: DrugCrazed Date: 07 Jun 11 - 10:43 AM "BTW, I trust the ligaments in your arm are mending well? ;-)" And now I'm confused. THANKS YORKSHIREYANKEE "64. Hows the average doing? I started out feeling old and then got younger" I make a constant joke about the fact I'm only allowed at folk clubs because of the average. I think people are fed up of hearing it now, but when did that ever stop me. "Hey DrugCrazed. You are in for quite a ride. Mudcatters are great but they are also fucking nuts. Welcome to the club and enjoy yourself. But remember that resistance is futile." I'm well aware you're all nuts. Why else would I join up? ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: David C. Carter Date: 07 Jun 11 - 04:19 AM My wife,sick of seeing me running after buses, bought a dog. It now runs after them for me! We had a dog before this one,but it used to chase parked cars. The vet's bills were costing us a fortune!And the dog lost his "no claims bonus". We gave it to a kind neighbour we coudn't stand. D |

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: Bob Bolton Date: 06 Jun 11 - 12:59 AM G'day all, I see that my friend Sandra in Sydney is looking forward to access to the PET (Pensioner Excursion Ticket) ... allows all day access to local (New South Wales ... particularly Sydney) public transport for small bundle of coins ...

I mightn't be travelling on little white tickets until the end of this decade! Then again ... I just mightn't ... be ...

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 05 Jun 11 - 08:41 PM Now old enough for concessions in some European countries where they don't kick in until 5 years after here. My own bus pass is coming up for 5-year renewal at the end of this month, but I still get suspicious looks from the drivers when I run for the bus. Following the advice given in song when I retired in 2006 - (may you stay) "Forever Young". |

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: YorkshireYankee Date: 05 Jun 11 - 02:18 PM And you stole me from my innocent ways, and made me sit in a pub, drink beer and sing folk songs. Not that it's a bad thing... I'd love to take credit for that, but I thought it was Bob/asirovedout who was responsible for your As for your birth date, it's safe from me -- mine is within the first week of the month. |

Subject: RE: BS: How old are we all? From: DrugCrazed Date: 05 Jun 11 - 07:43 AM Yankee, as long as the day in October isn't the square of 5 I'll be fine. One person stealing my birthday is enough thank you. And you stole me from my innocent ways, and made me sit in a pub, drink beer and sing folk songs. Not that it's a bad thing... |
