age range on the forum
Must have been full mooooooooon that day . I do have my mad moments ...... but perhaps it's just my agekaty wrote:Wicksy I am suprised, after the comments on the Gloria Estephan thread I thought you must be a twenty somethingWicksey wrote:Recently turned 50 but 'retired' at 42. Fifty sounds so old to me (I know it's not really but ... yuk ... can't get used to it yet), but glad to see there's many others on here around my age. My Dad was 90 this year and still driving (beware anyone living near Stockport!!) and I think age is all in the mind.

Do I have to apply for my pension?

You have to send in the birth and marriage certificates but they send them back pretty quickly.
They do seem to be very efficient. I received my first pension payment on time last month. They also sent the E121 forms without me asking for them.
I'm not telling you how old I am though

age range
Well at least my sense of humour is still sharp - I loved that clip - just got a bit cross at the ungrammatical words on the screen - but maybe that's my age:lol:
Rick, 60 is definitely the new 40 (or even 35?) I can vouch for that

The past cannot be changed, but the present can be spoilt by worrying about the future

age
although I´m not far off 50 I really feel as if I´m still in my 20´s, and I get the impression here that I´m not alone in this, I´ve always treated my age as soemthing that only exists in my passport, and never worried about the years clicking on.
I agree Mijas. I don't know if it is because I am getting older myself, but I am sure older people nowadays are much younger for their age than they used to be .... if you see what I mean? I have numerous friends in their early 60s and I find it hard to believe they're not 10 years younger. My Mum looked about 65 when she was 45 - so old-fashioned!
If 60 is the new 40, does that make me the new 30

Funnily enough Wicksey, following your logic, I honestly wouldn´t want to be 31 again. I´m much happier now than I was then and much of that, I´m sure, is due to learning from life´s experiences. Had I lived here in Mijas at age 30, well that may have been different, but if there is such a thing as "the best time of your life", then this is it!!

Thanks Gerry, I do have a duplicate as my original one was lost in a fire some years ago, I was wondering if the authorities accept a duplicate in this instance, I have successfully aquired two passports on this duplicate so I guess it works.gerryh wrote:Retro P wrote:You can get aduplicate from:-Jool wrote:

Ah! the full english!!
I agree actually, and I think my best age was late 30s. It was only in my late 40s that I felt I was ageing a bit and getting a bit saggier and wrinklier than before ....... oh, and my eyesight is going as well .... . But apart from that I still feel youngmijasmagic wrote:Funnily enough Wicksey, following your logic, I honestly wouldn´t want to be 31 again.
