It took me a few hours, but it was worth it because at one point I found a halloween decoration; a small plastic skeleton. I've told about 6 people so far that I've found a few skeletons in the cupboard and then produced the little decoration from my pocket and everybody has laughed and laughed and everyone loves me. Classic Colin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm turning 35 next week. Thirty **** five. And friends and family think I am being grumpy when I am telling them I don't want presents. I don't need anything. If I want something I buy it. I've asked them to give money to one of my favourite charities instead. I just think there are better ways to spend money. Oh and I have deactivated my Facebook because I get fed up of rolling my eyes at the people who don't speak to me all year and then wish me a happy birthday. I'm guessing 35+ is when the grumps hit... right? Seriously though. I've had so many birthdays now, they all feel the same! Give me a Villa win this weekend, that'll do me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm looking forward to my 30s because my mom said they were her happiest years. Kids, bit of money, you have a car/house etc. Just enjoy everything! (Apart from work, **** work). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm enjoying my 60s. Never understood stressing about age. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age is just tied into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm happy with life, I've just changed a lot and people around me haven't. Happy being a hermit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I should clarify - I don't mean I'm perpetually happy clappy. Plenty of shitty things have happened that made me feel miserable for varying periods of time, and I'm as capable of being a grumpy old bugger as the next man. I just mean that an awareness of being a particular age has not in itself bothered me. I've never felt that getting older is a bad thing. Once it starts to seriously affect my health I may revise that opinion. Edited January 13, 2017 by mjmooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Although I am 34 I am glad my child hood was during the 90s era. Was such a great time. Nowadays things are shit compared to then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 90s kids have more in common with 60s kids than they do with the current lot. They could still play with toy guns without being actually shot, and they could climb trees before trees turned sinister. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 My only issue with 50's and 60's (assuming I get there) is the amount of friends and family dying, that can't be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad raves about the 70s how great it was when I look at old clips it certainly seemed people were abit more happier and up beat than the current era. I much preferred the 90s pre social media give me that any day (sorry villa talk as much as I love this site!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my day growing up we had toys and were encouraged to do activities than watching tv. Nowadays the norm is sitting in front of the tv or posting on snapchat. Kids nowadays will experience the good days that were the 80s and 90s. (Prior was before my time but even you elder villatalkers I think will say those eras were better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyShears Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 You look across the room at your wife and start thinking which one of us is going to die first? Morbid, but very real. Cheerful bastard me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The 70’s were ok, the 80’s were appalling, the 90’s were pretty good. For me life really got great at around 38, and I have been riding that high ever since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok in small doses but some people live by it and people have gotten famous just by being active on there and not by any talent whatsoever. Different times eh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
