GW80 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I received my tickets this morning to the "Stone Roses " playing in Belfast later in the summer. Was well chuffed when i open the envelope but then all day i had a horrible feeling that it was 20 odd year ago that i started listening to them. Just realised i'd be 40 soon on my second marriage at present and don't think i'll ever really settle, Is getting older ever get easier?

No Well you should have a bit more disposable income,so can get the car you couldn't afford when you were 20,and you can do things like go to concerts,get the bike you dreamed of(please don't,you won't look cool on a harley),off set this with your body starting to fall to bits,so you can have/do more ,but your body can't keep up. But in my head i'm still 19,so i will keep pushing until i can't carry on. I'm only 6 years older than you,but have abused and used my body physically,but i have to say i feel very contented with my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixer1 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Enjoy it, as far as we know you only get to live it once! Some people will never even get to listen to the stone roses let alone see them live! Imagine some of the people in the world tonight who are wondering where there kids next meal is coming from and then you can take comfort in the fact it moves fast but at least it moves... Seems like yesterday my first child was born and he's running about with attitude now! In the blink of an eye... Regards, Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I received my tickets this morning to the "Stone Roses " playing in Belfast later in the summer.

Just realised i'd be 40 soon on my second marriage at present and don't think i'll ever really settle, Is getting older ever get easier? Tell me about it. There was a programme on TV about Primal Scream a few weeks back. **** my old boots! They all looked like geriatrics. I had a good look at myself whilst I was brushing my teeth that night and I wasn't far behind them. Quite depressing. Luckily I realised that I still had a lot going for me but the onset of time had prevented me remembering what it actually was. It all came back to me when I found a K&co (formerely Kays) catalogue in the dining room and managed to open it straight on the money. It never leaves you I'm toying with the idea of getting some Roses tickets on flea bay myself but part of me just wants to remember them as they were. Would be great if they play some Brown and Seahorses tracks. Time to dig out the 21's perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggins. Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Personally i don`t care about the past. It`s gone, you lived it now move on. You`ve got to make the most of what`s left and do the things you planned and not just talk about it. There`s thousands in the cemetary saying "If only ................ :blink: My granddaughter makes everything in life worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 They do say that life's like a toilet roll, the longer you use it the faster it goes round. Not so long ago I mentioned to my Dad that inside every sixty year old there was an eighteen year old saying, "What the **** happened?" He replied, "Wait until you're eighty, it's the same eighteen year old but asking where the other twenty years had gone." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said , I no longer look back but enjoy today and look forward to tomorrow , got a 20 month old grandson ( Jack ) who I look after regularly and he is being joined by a sister in Oct ( 1st girl in the family for many yrs ) Just started doing a bit more walking and took up cycling this week at 60 yrs . I seem to have spent more time looking after Jack on my own than I did with my own when they were very young but as I remember I was at work a lot and took advantage of working rest days/ph when I could .

Ricko Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Now that I am over 40, I am conscious that there are things that I need/want to get done. Not so much places to visit (no desire to go to USA/Africa/NZ/Aus etc), but decent legacies to leave my children; personal achievements etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 My son said something to me about his inheritance, I told him he had best keep his fingers crossed he doesn't inherit a debt. He said if he did he would be digging me back up. Always puzzles me why folk want to leave their kids summat, aren't they better off finding it themselves? That's what I think anyway. Don't be thinking I don't think much of my son, I think the world of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash? now thats a whole different story, they never had any nor did I and my sister, would not swap anything.
