The Big 50

[ailiebird]

Well it happened yesterday, I reached that milestone the big 50. Do I feel any different? No.
I can now apply for the AXA over 50's life insurance, the AXA over 50's funeral plan, etc, etc, etc. And I get free Parker pens just for asking, at least there is some bonus.
Hope my next however many years are as good as the last!

Congrats Ailie! My 50th is in a weeks time and the thought of a free Parker pen is really depressing me... Did you get 1/2 a telegram??? (I always wondered that... )

Many happy returns mate, my half century is up next month too.

That's the good news. The rest is that you have about 15 years still to go before you can put your feet up.
My foot stool is on order for next year. . . . .

I swear that these companies have access to a database that tells them when to start sending out mail order catalogues. The latest one to land on the doormat was clothing for the 'man in beige'. Trousers with elasticated waists and velcro fastened slippers. Aaaarghhhhhh! Give me another 25-30 years and I might just be interested, but that's only if I can't manage the buttons on my 501's anymore. And when that happens, I think I'll be ready for my box.

Welcome to the club. 50 is the new 40. nothing changes. its funny how times change, not so long ago reaching 50 meant you had to change the way you dressed. cardigan, tie, slacks etc. but not not theres lots of young looking 50 year olds. there will be loads of punks and glam rockers who have reached 50. its frightening really.
