Oh I know. I had the same feeling when I was 19 and then again at 29. Just a Psychological thing that will always be there. I don't feel physically healthy at the minute though. Got a few niggles I'm worried about.

So did I. Thought 40 was the end and everything would be downhill from then on.
Now I'm 71, same weight at 80kgs and waist size -34"- as at 40.
Been retired 8 years and honestly, age just doesn't matter as long as you've got your health and stay active

I am Surprised you're that old mate. Based on nowt other than your recent posts I thought you were a similar age to me.

Erm old is any ageI'm 59.
Just been remembering bonfire night on that thread.
I read it back to myself just now, and even though I don't feel "old", I can imagine a lot of younger people reading it and thinking "silly owld git"
So what age is the definition of old?
That’s why they put a numbers before it
Eg:
20 mins old……….13 weeks old…….8 years old………..2 millenaria old

Age and time itself is nothing more than an artificial construct designed by humanity.

My mate tried to call it middle age
I won't live til 120
Different times though, still wear trainers and stuff . No braces and pocket watches
I disagree with that - I am over 50 but I plan to retire at 60. Then the REAL fun can begin (hopefully).

Age is definitely a state of mind thing, I've recently started drawing the state pension but still go for a couple of drinks after the match with my son and his mates, some of who I've known since they were toddlers...which perversely brings it home how old I am

You’re old when you take ages clarting about at the cash point and in a supermarket stand in the door way talking to people you only saw yesterday
Generally getting in my way then you are old

Even worse if you start chatting to people you believe you saw yesterday, but who don't actually know you from Adam!
Very true. When you're out drinking ( though after 50 you really shouldn't be ) you feel 15 years younger than you actually are, but the following day you feel 15 years older, and it gets worse year on year.
In me experience, downhill all the way after 55.
