This thread is for people who are 50 or over.
If its discovered you are pretending to be over 50 yule be excommunicated. Old is good on this thread.
Youth is heresy. Apostasy.
We will be sharing like minded hobbies. Such as lawn bowling, crochet, retirement plans, home repair ideas, after life plans, funeral plans, nursing home plans, your grandkids, and so on ......

My father spent the last 2 years of his life in a nursing home. In hindsight, it was a cruel ending to a life devoted to his family and the poor. I was living overseas at the time.

I turned 56 just last month, it seems like the years are moving faster and faster. As my dad once told me, you will get old one day, I know what he was saying now.

the arrogance of youth is right. i remember I was around 30 and looked at my father who was my age now. (61). "surely I will never become so fat and out of shape. "
well i did. maybe worse.

Hey Hey Hey its UK Election Day

Its the day we decide whether we will finally leave the EU with Boris Johnson at the helm or end up with a Marxist Government
Opinions seem to be generational which is partly why Im posting this stuff here. People between 18 and 35 mainly go for Corbyn. otherwise Boris has the vote. Corbyn fans didnt go through the 1970s here. I believe in following the ABC of politics. Anyone But Corbyn Why you may ask should it interest people on site living outside the UK? If God forbid we elect Corbyn you will soon find out!!

It is possible, I do not see how, but possible that replacing the washer may remedy the noise problem. I replaced all the workings inside my toilet. It now flushes quieter than ever except the las few seconds it makes a low pitched squeal.
