Have (dyed) blonde hair mandi due for a top up tho:D wear the hipsters too a touch of flab :eek: lately though so no crop tops.
Does one year younger count as toy boy:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
80 mph on the dual carriageway is the most I can manage and that's when it's quiet.
Quite fancy that thing where they pull you along in the sea and you go up in the air.
Aren't you too young to be in this thread? I thought you were one of the young ones sorry if I'm wrong:D
I don' think this thread will last much longer whenever I look there aren't many reading.Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should get used to it.;)

I'n still reading (when my remaining brain cells remind me to
) and we did look at two campervans today, but I fancied one and hubby fancied the other (twice the price :rolleyes: ) so no progress there then
.
I have long held a theory that there are really only two driving forces in life - love/sex and money.
Given that presumably those of us of a "certain age" have had enough or are getting enough of the former, then the latter kicks in to motivate us.
Once that is sorted, there is perhaps a third simple pleasure to be enjoyed - time. Time becomes more valuable not less in our older years, despite the fact that on the surface there appears to be more of it at our disposal. The sad fact is that everything we do in our daily rituals takes a bit longer too.
An hour of browsing the computer is a pleasure to be savoured. Half an hour in bed with the newspaper before becoming too tired to focus on it is a bonus.
We change our horizons as we age. I am "only" 54, but as I look after my parents of 88 and 91, I truly appreciate what the advantages of middle-age are, compared to the alternative.I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

BB when you get your camper van make sure it has a good source of heat we bought an old one last year which had no heat. We thought it would be OK because it was summer time - wrong big time we froze.:eek:
We also camped last summer and froze yet again. I do wonder if that hlped to accelerate my arthritis because this year I'm a quite disabled due to it. Anyway enough moaning:D I'm just having to learn to still enjoy:j
Yes it's nice ot have and give love - money well could do with lots more but have learned to get by with less and still survive and look fashionable:DWomen and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should get used to it.;)

That'll cure any masturbating habits they have once and for all :rotfl::rotfl:
By the way that was not a personal invitation ,just an experience that my wife and I did in our days before we reached fifty and put away those ideas and said not for me lol,perhaps it was disgraceful but we love each other.
I am not ahshamed,perhaps others should look at their moral standards and realise that perhaps they are not as hip as they thought , Mick Jagger from the Rolling stones would have thought it was a gas Jumping jack flash is a gas.:cool:how we change ,but think we are the same
:embarasse
Why was my post so digraceful and had the potential for scaring people off,makingin a shop changing room,who is that going to scare ,are you the thread censor and do you only allow disgraceful camper van
stories.
My son is 27 and he does not believe that people over 50 make love and it is disgraceful,the poor lad has a lot to learn,sorry if I mis- interpreted the word disgraceful ,did not realise thatwas a wicked word for the over fifties
The quote by ben 500 was much more disgraceful than my story and much funnier.
Actually you thanked ben 500 and rightly so
Do you know what I find truly disgraceful ,smoking,much more dangerous than making
By the way I do not want to be a grass but Bog-of-Babe mentioned love/sex and money :shocked:

Oooooooooooooops. Sorry kenshaz did not mean to uspet you, no I'm not the thread censor and was just being lighthearted. how things come across wrongly in print:o
You are right in all you say, carry on as before:beer:
There's a symbol for an olive branch somewhere but I can't find it so I'll have to offer you a verbal one (olive branch) is that OK, I hope you accept.
I'm also sorry I forgot to thank you and will put that right too.Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should get used to it.;)

I think all young people think you are past it at 40, never mind 50!
We've never made love in a changing room, but we have made love in the car in a layby of a main road. This was only in 2002 when we were both in our 50s and married over 30 years.
Is this the sort of disgraceful thing you mean?(AKA HRH_MUngo)

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 Eagleton0 -
