Finished work this afternoon in glorious sunshine so nipped home, got changed & drove over to the canal. Now it's pitch black & I've just very nearly fallen in as I head back to the car.

Title: Re: Summer? Post by: morrag on March 14, 2018, 12:15:37 AM It is said that age is all in the mind! but my mind is the same age...bloody old!! I hate it..... ::)
Title: Re: Summer? Post by: stinkey on March 14, 2018, 08:01:16 AM To be young again knowing what you know now ?
It's been mild here for a few days now.. Title: Re: Summer? Post by: BikerGran on March 14, 2018, 10:16:02 AM Old age has nothing to recommend it - except when you consider the alternative.......
Can't remember who said it, that's one of the downsides of age! Title: Re: Summer? Post by: Manky Monkey on March 14, 2018, 11:43:39 AM I'd say I'm more confident now than when I was a teenager. No longer care what anyone thinks of me! Don't allow girls to walk all over me in the hope they'll like me, don't worry about looking good or being cool or being part of the "in" crowd. I'd like the energy & enthusiasm of youth, but that's about all.
Title: Re: Summer? Post by: morrag on March 14, 2018, 12:01:24 PM ;D ;D..I like that BG!!.and I haven't been part of the "in crowd" since 1957 Mr. M!! probably not even then! :o :o

"Quote Investigator: There is evidence that Maurice Chevalier did deliver this comical line by 1959; however, the quip was already in circulation. The earliest citation located by QI was published in 1952 in a Long Beach, California newspaper. The columnist did not provide an ascription and stated that the phrase was already in use" "“I kept thinking of a remark Maurice Chevalier once made when someone asked how it felt to be 71,” said Mr. Goren the other day. “He said, ‘Wonderful, when you consider the alternative.'” Now that jogs my memory - I saw this on TV and what he actually sad was "not bad when you consider the alternative". |
