Get some time in you lot! I'm older that the lot of you so far!

**gistek** · 05-06-2008, 09:25 AM

Wow, I'm older than Grumpy?

I just joined AARP the end of March!

For those who aren't familiar, you have to be 50 to join the AARP

**grumpygit** · 05-06-2008, 11:05 AM

Why are you so surprised about being older than me?

Slapshot · 05-06-2008, 12:59 PM

I'm youngest so far :P

I know that feeling .. 56 heading towards 57 fast .. don''t feel any different to when I was a teenager, except all my joints are beginning to hurt for the wrong reasons ..

still fit & active .. walk to work and back every day .. just over 2 miles each way (3,3Km) in 30 minutes .. could be faster but haven't got the energy any more

On that basis, I'm 27.

i meant that my brothers are all a minimum of 9 years older then me, one being 15 years older then me, so I was constantly around people of that level of intelect and maturity. although my spelling and grammar doesn't show it.

Put it this way. My wife & I were on the commuter train into Sydney (Australia) 4 years ago....

A young lady stood up and offered me her seat!

**Rhort** · 05-07-2008, 01:04 AM

I can't be doing that bad; I was called 'Young Man' by my department head this morning; he's 43, I'm 36 :D

Perhaps we should close this thread and have a 'How old do you think I look, based on my pic..." thread?
