Some of you old grumpy can help?

Gianluigi,

In the UK we have a chain of charity shops called 'Age Concern'. I went into my local Age Concern shop and told them it was my 40th birthday and to be honest they did not give a damn.

Erik

40 last year.

One piece of advice - grab a beer and relax. It's the start of the rest of your life !

By now, you should have made the mistakes, learned from them and look forward to sharing your knowledge with all and sundry.

Yep, you have earned the right to become an old git !!!

I'll see what i can do about it.
First i'm gonna start hiding whisky bottles under the sofa.
A man deserve some kind of comfort (southern?) sometimes.

Dear Gianluigi,

I am 45 this year, and I intend to celebrate this mile-stone (mill-stone round my neck?) in fine style. I missed my own fortieth, and celebrated in solitary fashion in a pub. I got very drunk and rather unhappy. I only just avoided sleeping in a local cemetary (or dying of hypothermia, I suppose as it was in December and very cold), but being older and wiser I shall celebrate in good company this time. Good luck, as you can soon qualitfy (according to Erik) as a grumpy old git! It is a good club!

All the best from Fredrik

Ciao Fredrik!
Soon i'll get there and nobody will be allowed to ask about all the money spent on records!
If they don't find my Southern Comfort can under the sofa!

Before you turn 40, people 15 to 20 years younger than you generally aren't in the workforce yet, but once you hit four-o, you start to come into regular contact with people in the offce in their early twenties (some of whom were born in the 1980s); and there comes a point when you realise those blank looks on their faces indicate they have no idea what you're talking about when, for example, you're talking about the Beatles or some other subject you assume everyone is familiar with, but they aren't because they are too young. THAT's when you start to feel your age.

Oh yes Steve.
Those are the moments i feel that time i rushing faster and faster.
Faster than when i was 20, which is only 20 years ago.

Goshhhhhhh!
I'm becoming a whingeing old grumpy!!

I thought you meant Senility. The urgency is because of the weak bladder that comes with old age, so get used to it.
There are some very good things that come with maturity, but my memory has gone so I can't remember what they are.

And then years later you'll no longer be bothering about sex.

What..... I'll get my coat!

Funnily enough, my brother-in-law is now well past the 40 marker and is still looking for Mrs right. He spent all his life being a real tart basically (usually 2 on the go at a time), but he split with a long term girlfriend 18 years his junior after a 3 year relationship because she is a bit "demanding". He's feeling his age. So he found this older model just before Christmas, but has just had to end that too because she was also "very demanding". Serves him right. He must have been doing it twice a day for ten years - he must be knackered.

I'm nearly 45 and into rap

In my experience the older ones are often more demanding. Give me a nice 25 year old any day. According to Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism unrestrained sex (does that mean no tying up?)is a cause of premature death. Taoism especially teaches how to have extended and intensified orgasm without ejaculation thus the sexual energy is not lost but internalised for spiritual benefit. Hindu tanra works on similar lines. A friend of mine claims to have done it 8 times in a day and made himself ill for a week!
