To think 60 is old aged

[Goodtimes80]

And 35 Middle aged?

Seriously..i see so many90 yearolds id say..

50-60 middle aged

70 plus older

80 plus elderly

Saying that ive seen people in their20s who were elderly and some in their 80s id say were mid youth with their excericse classes and 'helping the elderly' (about 10-15 years younger) Who said age was just a. Number!!!

WTF is going on today with all these Zombies? They're not even amusing ones.

Where's the zombie alert thingy that used to be there?

Middle aged is middle of your life. If you think middle aged if 35 then you must be expecting people to die at 70. Life expectancy is much longer than that.

I'm wondering about this thread. I'm sort of planning a Lands End to John O Croats cycle ride in about three years time. My plan is to carry a tent and camp each night. Does the OP think I'll manage it as I am aiming to celebrate my 74th birthday during the ride.
Age is simply the number of times you have been round the sun.

Considering the government wants everyone to work until they're 67, 68 these days, how can we say it's old?

It's not.

OP is a DM "journalist"

YABU. I'd say 50-60 middle aged. 60-70 old 80+ mega old.

I'm 60 . I work full time, shop in top shop, enjoy new bands, go to spin class, have lovely swishy hair, DH is 62 and is a yoga teacher. I don't mind my numeric age but you can just fuck off if you want to label me and tell me I'm too old for dungarees and short skirts.

I HATE ZOMBIES

I don't consider 60 old. My own mum is approaching 60, her mum and grandma are still alive.

Would anybody like to buy some popcorn?

OP, let's wait until you are 60 and you can report back whether you are indeed 'old aged'.

Wow Ex could you chuck any more ridiculousness at that post.

Wtf is swishy hair, you sound like a horses tail

Just because you go to spin class doesn't make you younger. Just fitter.

Can we just not embrace our age instead of trying to relive our teen years ffs.

"Old" is always 20 years older than you are

This fred is OLD

Die, zombie, die!!

I have one big problem saying that you aren't old when you are 60yo.
It's the fact that it's is then expected that you will be able to do a lot, have very few Heath issues and should be up to do everything a 35yo can do.
Except that we know that 64yo is the age by which more than half of people do have some health issues.

So yes, some people will still be very healthy, full of energy etc... my parents were at that age. They actually still are. But a hell of lot of other people aren't and I think it would be unfair to then expect them to be as fit as a 35yo iyswim
(I have the same issue with pushing the pension age back and back. A lot of people will not be physically able to carry on working until 68yo...)

I remember thinking one of my granny's was really old. She acted, and dressed old, from what I now know is around 45. It seemed to be a choice. My DM is now 84 and is never home; I could not possibly find the energy to keep up with her social life and drinking habits

I am not old enough to retire but old enough to be so very tired.
I am not old enough to deserve a seat on public transport but I so hate to stand the whole ride.
I am not old enough to get senior discounts but am beginning to look longingly at them, whilst counting the years until I qualify.

It is a conundrum, this aging thing!

Oh fgs.
Why are people playing with Zombie Thread????

Well I'm 46 and don't feel middle aged. I think of 75 and over being old now but my dad is nearly 78, not completely grey yet, walks for miles, dances regularly and thankfully has no ailments, takes no medication.

Funnily enough sofar my mum always said those people were old when they were young and I agree. I know some 46 year olds that seem way older than me in mind and body.
