Then stop pissing in your Tesco Bag for Life and go to the lats like a normal person.
I like old people, but strictly milfs only. No gilfs, that's too freaky.

pffft.... the number of... *ahem*.... dilations is more important my man....
that said, respectable folk like us would see a direct correlation between the m and the g there. but some other members like... oooh... robster.... his ms would have 25 of the buggers you know....

Even though I am below the age of 60, I do not think it fair to guage people as being old when they hit that number.
I have seen young people who I would classify as being old, just by virtue of their lifestyle and attitudes.
25 going 60 is not at all uncommon and these are the people who need pity.
Not the 60 + going 25.

Hmmm....wonder if my Alfred Burke posting prompted this, you cheeky young whipper-snapper. I've been working with computers since 1970, so it was quite easy, thanks, although that was when men were men, and computers were real computers, that took up rooms the size of aircraft hangers. In fact where I worked had been a Fleet Air Arm air-base, and where I worked next had been an RAF base, only 25 years before.
As they say (quite rightly) youth is a commodity far too precious to waste on the young.
Use it wisely and enjoy it while you can Master Brettus. It will go much quicker than you can ever imagine.

I think the post-war boomer generation are in many ways much more adolescent in their outlook than the current 25 - 35 generation. They're maybe the first generation in history that never quite grew up. People of my age, on the other hand, I think they realise that they'll have to shoulder a lot more responsibility.

Agreed.
Us boomers lived life to the full through the 60's, 70's and 80's when the world was a much less serious and a more fun place, without all the sh1tty petty restrictions that we are forced to endure in Big Brother Land these days.

far, far, far better computers
I was the proud owner of a Sinclair. I think it had 2kw memory, I bought an add on that brought up to about 5kw. My first "real" one was an Olivetti. That had two floppies. There was no internet until much later.

Why ? Are you looking for your REAL father. Tell us your mother's name and I will try to remember if I am your real dad. I probably am. I was a bit of a lad.
The same way I used to turn on your mother. I just kept flicking the ON button with my fingers. Sometimes when my fingers got sore I would even use my tongue. :cheesy:

He is refering to his souped up C5, with a 5kw motor instead of the standard 0.25kw one.

Ah! Right!
I remember a documentary about when Alan Sugar bought Sinclair's computer operation.
Sinclair was trying to explain how it worked and Sugar said "Clive, I don't care if it has rubber bands inside, as long as it works"
Those days do not seem so long ago. Time in computer technology flashes past!
Lol. Alright so most on here knew about computers before i was born. I was more directing it at people aged 60 before they turned on a computer. It's easy for a 8 year old to learn how to turn on a computer, but for 60 year old to first turn it on is impossible. That generation see it as an expensive TV.
Traderman1 I think you were refering to my grandma.
