As I'll be 70 in 2019 I decided that my new year's resolution should be to somehow begin growing old more gracefully. However, apart from supressing audible farts when going around the supermarket I'm at a loss as to what changes to make. So, what is it about old folk that gets on yourc tits?

I like old people they're brilliant. Its some of the young ones which get me worried to be honest. Being 44 I'm right in the middle

Using 'youth speak' especially when its out of date... try to stop saying 'Cool'. Winn, I never got as far as 'cool', I seemed to have got stuck on 'fab' š. Seems like this is going to more of a challenge than first thought.

Why grow old gracefully Do you really want to be one of those old gits that stands in the narrowest aisle of the supermarket talking to other old gits (though annoying other people would be a good reason). I would agree with suppressing farts, as you get older you can't always guarantee it's just a fart

However, apart from supressing audible farts when going around the supermarket I'm at a loss as to what changes to make. So, what is it about old folk that gets on yourc tits? I would say,"what is it about me that gets on MY tits?" Every thing that should be loose and supple becomes stiff,and what should be stiff is loose and floppy! Getting down in the engine hole is difficult,getting out unaided impossible. Climbing lock ladders is slow and painful,crossing lock gates a distant memory. Disembarking,the gap between boat and canal wall is bigger than I remember. Getting to the lock paddle gear and finding that you have forgotten your windlass. The list is long and boring. I think I need to be like some boaters I have seen. A fat old git sitting at the tiller shouting instructions at the locks to a hapless woman,running herself ragged tying up and working the lock. Any volunteers?

The hard part is remembering how old you are.
I still feel the urge to smile and chat to attractive ladies ...but sadly these days they are likely to offer me their seat.

I think I'm still quite sprightly at 61..I scramble up and down rocky slopes, climb trees use Fab, Brill and Ace..I'm willing to have a go at challenges and i hope I don't get tired of doing stuff thats supposed to be age related... Went Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, brought a wristband and went on the Carousel, small rollercoaster a fairy story ride through the tales of Hans Christian Anderson and a few others... Think young and you'll stay young.... I don't wear mini skirts any more but do have some rather interesting shoes that family deem not appropriate for my age..... So as for slowing down at 70 and avoiding making gaffs...nah..carry on as long as you can.

I'll be 61 this year & often act my shoe size rather than my age.I don't dress like an oldie,love being silly,always climbed the 5 bar gate at our previous mooring(rather than walk round to the sensible entrance),had purply/violet highights for our holibobs & am usually up for a laugh ! I will want someone to slap me if I suddenly want a beige mac,a tartan shopping trolley & a perm...
