Three Score & Five - Half-Passed Life

I'm 47 and look 74. It's all the fault of mephedronemeowmeowM-Cat.

Can someone explain the thread title. Shambles? I'm old.
 
SHM: Title was meant to refer to being at the halfway point on the way to the Biblical three score and ten... but I rather fucked that bit up a bit :o

Other bit would be either to suggest I am halfway past birth and halfway towards death on the life clock or that half my life has passed somewhat uneventfully thus bringing on a fit of minor wistfulness and reflection. As you see fit.

Basically the same poor gag repeated thrice in case you missed it the first time and due to lack of imagination.

Or to avoid somewhat pretentious explanations, it's just a vaguely amusing thread title that got slightly mangled due to fuckedness. As you see fit again.
 
So I'm not young enough to be cool with the young crowd and not old enough to be cool with the older crowd.

Ha, I was never cool anyway sod it.
 
Probably hearing loss. Or possibly senility. Don't you recall the plans we all made last week? Nurse! The sedation again please! ;)

I say just be happy and make with the prospecting. Tis good for what ails ya. I know cos I became a bit addicted to it myself for a while.
 
Coincidentally, that song reminds me very much of my yoof. Was on all the Saturday morning kids shows and I loved it at the time. Then loathed it for a while when I realised how crap 80s music is. Then rediscovered it fairly recently and decided to make an exception. Always did <3 David Bowie though. The man has a purple eye for fuck's sake. What's not to <3?
 
^ It most certainly did. If I wasn't on a data allowance, I'd have the song on full blast just now. However, I'm using someone else's laptop.

Once I land back in Bristol, I shall be playing it. It's one of my favorite songs/artists.
 
Quote taken from the Friday thread...

oh id love to be a raver id love to be a raver

I'll always be a raver, and I'm in my very very early 30's.

Bristol, and free parties is the place to be, I love talking to 60 year old hippies at free parties and festivals.

This week I sorted out some soft black out for my dad, who's 59 (He prevents me from saying he's nearly 60), he's always away playing gigs, chatting up girls the same age as me ;) Who says age has to dictate owt?
 
I remember having a conversation with my sister, and we agreed that when we are old we will behave like this, except our generation being our generation will have a few things added in. It's a poem by Jenny Joseph. Purple is also a good colour, and my fave. I disagree with the last two verses, I shan't be starting to behave, far from it!

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
 
Purple is a safe colour.

I was told this by a wise man who's BL name is F&B. He advised me when we were both tripping amongst friends, that if purple is seen, all is well. His front door is also painted purple.

I have one purple wall in my living room. I love purple.

Also, Gogol Bordello suggests we should all start wearing purple. I agree!
