Ah, now we're getting into the weird world of statement analysis. That's where every word you utter is scrutinised to the point where you're too scared to open your mouth! A bit like Mrs Trogg ...according to Trogg, that is! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 11 hours ago, Cliff Ton said: I can think of two sayings connected with age. I can't decide if I agree with either of them. 1. You're as old as you feel. 2. You're as old as other people think you are. One I remember, Act your age, not your shoe size, Best comedies of recent years, a decade plus, are Inbetweeners and Peep Show.. 50 is the new 40.. should now be 100 is the new eighty. What was the one about being a year younger than my Teeth? Heard it about 2 year's ago, first time in over 30! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,079 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Went to Disney land USA quote from Walt Disney there's a child in all of us till we die. Mind you!!! You know that you are getting older if you have to put on your socks your feet get futher away from your body, When an older person stands up for you on the bus. Called to see GP when you should be at Opticians. Getting out of bed in the morning and feeling stiff Having to go to the loo more times than you use to. Getting a bus pass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 894 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Young at heart. This is the regular band on our holidays. They've done nothing this year because lockdown, hope next year's better, they do lots of charity gigs. Take your partners. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,894 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Video looks like it could be one of our local summer festivities in all the little hamlets round here, but sadly not this year. Returning to NY celebrations, we haven't heard of anything being cancelled yet but are expecting something. They'll probably let us know nearer to the event. Here most people either get in a group ( be careful) and go out for a meal or meet up with friends to eat together. Then around midnight all the usual celebrations ( Naples throw all they don't want out from their balconies) until 1-2am then go to a night club til dawn and finish up at a bar for breakfast. Not sure if the cinemas are also open, I know they are on Christmas Day. We've always worked NYE so our celebrations are with customers ( great times) It's a lovely atmosphere and sometimes those that were a bit reserved really let their hair down. The last 2 yrs I've spent at home enjoying the company of my daughter. We make things special and open a bottle of some wine that we haven't tried but know it's good. NY day back to the bar for breakfast if we can find somewhere to sit, if not we stand until a table is free. Then it's our turn , the next few days are lunch or dinner with relatives. Second week into January , DIET, DIET , DIET. Until Easter , then. !!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 894 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 No, I'm not dancing there Margie, it's a youtube video but we make a point to see them when we visit there. The band are local to the wider Weymouth area and the video is in Hope Square. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 WW, we were in Weymouth in 2017, renting a cottage around 150yds from Hope Square. One evening we went out for dinner, but on reaching Hope Square the band were playing and the atmosphere was so happy we never got any further. They were brilliant. Dinner turned into Fish and Chips on the walk home two hours later. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
