Fortitude

ooh, that means I'm a six inch foetus right now

They lied.

i think they mean 40 years old...

They? hmmm i don't think there is more than one of me and i don't have a split personalityGood job to this world definately could not handle two of me.But being 40 is depressing

I'm curious. I'm 40 in October. Can anybody tell me what to expect?

1) Do I get a telegram from the Queen?
2) Will my waist jump 2 sizes?
3) Do I become impotent?
4) Do I get some sort of pre-OAP Bus Pass?
5) Will the police get younger?
6) Will I start talking about when I was young?
7) Will the hair sprouting from my ears and nose suddenly have a purpose?
8) Will 20-30 yr old women look too young in my eyes, whilst 50-60 yr olds start to look suddenly do-able?
9) Will I start putting my feet onto chairs to tie my laces instead of bending down?
10) Will I need to get speech-to-text to join in HooToo?

I am 51 next month swl and I still feel the same as when I was in my twenties. It's all in the mind. I still rock music,still can dance and am thinking of emigrating.

I'm Ok with it so far.
Who are 'they' anyway?

ooh, I'm thinking of emigrating too. Do you think it's an age thing?

BTW, where are you thinking of emigrating to?

Canada..my father has just come back from a visit to the relatives and said there are loads of jobs etc.

We're thinking of Panama - the economy is booming.

SWL, Number 5 is a yes, same for teachers, bank managers etc.

And in Canada I won't end up being eaten by doctor who monsters....
