at what age does someone become old?
when does middle age happen?
now that i am past the age of 40 should i have reached puberty, or be having a mid-life crisis?
is puberty just a small town in wales?
how do you know you've had a mid-life crisis and not just an everyday sort of crisis?
i'm confused.
is that my age?
answers in large print, or yelled through a megaphone, please.

Pro ah.
thanks.
i remember going There once but i've never been to Thither.
wot's it like?
la_spice
You'd love Thither wither should you wander. Now I wonder whether I've still got the Thither Tourism Website Address. Whether or not you should go thither or even hither

A mid life crises would be at the age of ten if you are twenty, or, at 20 if you are 40. Of course it will be 50 if you are going to live till you are 100, or, 60 if you are going to live to 120.
kevinwilson
Pro ok ...
so when i was six, i could have had my mid life crisis at the age of three, then.
so i won't have any more.
is that right?
Kibitz
Lol ... Irrefutable logic.
Every day’s a mid life crisis ...
So true .. So tragic ... Sophism.

I FORGOT"YELL AND/OR LARGE PRINT AT A CERTAIN POINT OF MY PREVIOUS COMMENT AND IS ABOUT MID_LIFE NOT MIDDLE-AGE?!??? I'm GETTING OLDER EH?
kevinwilson

Pro 'ere, 'ave a bit of respect, you young nipper!

Pro Where do I sign up for a mid-life crisis it sounds like a good excuse to have some fun for a bit!
I'm only 25 though is that considered too early to have one?
kevinwilson
Pro you'll just have to join the queue.
it costs five pound a week, or for ten pounds a week you can have a complete once and for all crisis that lasts about six months.
under 30s pay half price!

mrs-h-the-3rd
Pro I think the £5 a week experience would be better, why limit myself to once and for all when I could have my crisis over and over. I can do different things each time and see what suits for the big one!
kevinwilson
Pro how wise you are!
right - hand over the dosh and let me know how you get on!
mohdzuraini
Age is just a number. The older you are, the wiser you get...but not always.
kevinwilson
Pro i'll remember that.
what did you say?
mohdzuraini
LOL!!!

ah, I did a private post listing the symptoms of mid life crisis. They are:
- looking at younger women or having an affair with one
- taking more care in your appearance
- conspicuous consumption of flashy products or a sports car
- thinking you have acheived nothing in life
I think you have to display more than one of these symptoms to be having a mid life crisis
kevinwilson
Pro well that accounts for women, but what about men??
ha ha
xx
Help! Three of those could apply to me!
sidejump
3. Oh dear. Well, is a mid life crisis necessarily a bad thing? Maybe it is what we need to realise that life is for real, and not a dress rehearsal.
kevinwilson
Pro i bought a motorbike and everything was ok again.
SeasideMan
Pro 0-30 young
30-60 middle aged
60-90 old
90+ very old
How's that?
Technically, middle age should be half the average age of death, so 35-40-ish, although it is "variously reckoned to suit the reckoner".
Tom.
kevinwilson
Pro i think i've got that straight now, thanks tom!
I'm looking forward to my mid-life crisis. Just to make sure it differentiates from an everyday crisis it'll be sure to involve leather jackets, a Harley, a ponytail, a partner half my age and a sudden interest in glam rock. I might not go for a goatee though. That would be weird.
Then after about 3 years I'll give up and go back to train-spotting.
Oh and if you're not sure whether you have reached puberty yet there are a couple of sure-fire ways to find out.
xx
kevinwilson
Pro will you promise to give me a call when you're having your crisis, then?! sounds fun!
two ways to find out whether i've reached puberty, eh?
(whispers)
what's the other one?
xx
.. it starts the day you panic to notice 'peter' looks at your slippers instead of greeting you 'good morning!'

Puberty? I think I went there once - is it somewhere between Here and There? or perhaps those lesser know villages of Hither and Thither?
Old age is somewhere between Dither and erm ... Dodder.
