Re: Getting old.
You do not hear about cheese getting old or wine.
No they only mature with age.
So why are we told we grow old?
Like classic wine and cheese we also mature, maybe not so good for eating now though.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Would that be blue cheese by any chance?

Re: Getting old.
I'm getting old
But i dont mind
As now joining the Lads of a different kind
They smile and sing , and have their Fling
To them Life means such a different thing!
So dont despair as you grow old
Its life's new era
And really bold
Then one day after all this is gone
I know that there will still be song.
For the Lads you met will never forget
You were one of them i sure fine bet!
Cheers

Re: Getting old.
#28.. Fouro .. Brian’s next hurdle is to be a standing member of the 86 club to renew his membership of the sky high club. It does have a proper title something like the Mile high club or something , and his membership might be out of date ? JS.
