I am 70. chronically but not mentally. If anyone calls me elderly I will spit, shout and swear (boy can I swear) I weigh 8 stone 12lbs. Wear jeans, crocs, and trainers. I trim my own hedge, paint my own house, drink wine by the bucketful. I drive long distances and listen to rock music. Love horror films, the gorier the better. Laughed my way through Friday 13th. I thought elderly people wore twin sets and pearls (I would rather die!) or have blue rinses. My hair is brown, totally natural and never been died. I want to travel the world, write a book and have abundant sex. So as said fxck off anyone who dares call my elderly!!!!

Classic case of mutton thinking acting like a lamb is convincing.

Oh dear, definitely elderly trying desperately hard to be young. ? Just own it rather than attention seeking lol you aren't fooling anyone in your crocs ???? Nothing wrong with being elderly doesn't mean you have to fit into a perceived box.

Maybe the bucket of wine was just a bit too much after all.

Btw did you know that the Caroll diagram was actually invented by Lewis Caroll ?

Is that anything to do with the velocity at which a person could go down a rabbit hole?

My dad always used to say you get one roll of the dice of life enjoy everyday like it’s your last. And you are elderly if you like it or not. No one looks the age they feel we all feel 21 but we not. I ride my own motorbike and go to bike rallies but I don’t swear or wear crocs and never owned a pair but wouldn’t it be a boring world if we were all the same.

Now I do swear, and we’ve already established that I wear Crocs (with the ‘garden’ get out clause).

Perhaps we need an Elderly / Not Elderly Venn diagram.
Or even better one of those flow chart thingys.

Least said soonest mended on that one, I'd say.

BlueSky Thu 05-May-22 12:04:39

Or a certain lady with the handbag? grinconfused

No, I think the talking about cheap clothing for teen lads is a genuine fetish.
It makes me cross when people engage with that kind of talk.

Some long time members may remember a young poster who had a 12 year old “openly gay” brother who had an issue with wearing his Ugg boots in cafes.

There was also plimsoll problem. I may have got this muddled but there again I am elderly.

I was wondering if Hink2 was the lad’s grandmother?

I have been told that some cruise lines offer cheap fares to men to “look after” single ladies.
i.e. dance with them, ask them to take part in activities etc.
A lady of 50 ish ,known to me, was very flattered by one and was asked to his cabin for a drink.
He opened the door in his vest and knee length dark socks.
He was also very hairy.
She fled in embarrassment and confusion.
Our OP would have lapped it up.
