    The reason you are not getting lists of 'disgraceful' things is that us oldies do not consider them disgraceful, just a bit of fun. I always demand to be proofed (for age) when buying ciggies or spirits, chat up really young guys in the supermarket and following the smoking ban in Scotland, make a point of smoking in inappropriate outside places to see the reaction.
    OH is waiting until he is 70 to ask the doctor for a vasectomy.
    My father (following the example of his father) used to act outrageously, pretending to be deaf, foreign, daft, whatever, in order to skip queues, get his bags packed and carried for him, have library or parking fines waived and not pay for his round of drinks. If he saw a hospitality tent at an event he would wander in looking vague and always got well fed and watered. If someone was giving away freebies in a supermarket, he just kept going back for more and they always just humoured him. His outlook was that there had to be some advatages to getting old .....

    Love it! I'm going to learn from your father!........

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    My suggestion is to take retirement as early as financially viable, thus getting out of the rat race, and then arrange your lifestyle to reflect the re-evaluated importance and simple pleasures of time v wealth. Sit back and enjoy the Aldi economy coffee while watching the rest of the world rush by.

    !

    Did just that last November, packed in a well paid career, sold the semi in Kent and moved to this gorgeous island, i now work 3 days a week, dont worry about conforming and having the latest; clothes, car etc. As above it really is a case of re-evaluating whats important in life.
