Growing old disgracefully, having fun all the way.
Watch this post
I'd like to start a forum to suggest that once you are over 50 there are many exciting alternatives to taking the easy life i.e.putting on the slippers and reclining on one of those comfy chairs advertised on every whodunit advert break. I have so much fun playing in a five piece punk band playing gigs over East Sussex. Two of us are over 55 which nowadays is still young if you want it to be. Last month we, The Spiffing Good Eggs' made a 7inch single, something we had always dreamed of in younger years and it was so exciting to actually hold the finished article in my hands and put the needle on the record. We all find it a real thrill to see all ages dancing 'mosh like' at our gigs. I'd like to hear how you 'live' your silver years. Cheers Tony.

Think of this, as you get older things change you get less inclined to gallavant about and just want a restful life, children never understand this until they get there, but some will never believe it will happen.
Times have changed for the better thank goodness. Gone are the days when people sat by the fire "Waiting for God", and 55 (I'm 59) is definitely not old. Carry on it will keep you young !
