Life begins at 40, so they say.
And only 10 years to go before you can get insurance through SAGA:p

Cheaper insurance, :)
Unfortunately not. I'm 40 with 13 years NCB on my car and premiums seem higher than when I was in my 20's with no NCB.
i turned 40 last year and have adopted a dont give a toss attitude (moreso than before) life does begin at 40 i think. have a great one

So, what happened when I was 40?
My wife left me after 20 years of marriage, she robbed me of £37000, had to sell my 3 Bed Detached Corner plot house (with separate garage) to live in a 2 up 2 down Terraced House, had no money in the Bank (£1500 overdrawn) and 3 kids to support.
Guess What?????? Best year of my life. Everything went uphill from there. My kids are now grown up, but still live with me. The only money I owe is my mortgage, everything else is paid for, so it did me the world of good.
Life is still not perfect, I don't have a partner, but it is not far off being perfect.
So becoming 40 aint that bad :)

Your willy will fall off :smt064
You have a good excuse for riding slowly, works for me anyway as I ride slower than a slow thing on slow pills whilst sedated. I overtook a cyclist the other day, was brilliant!
Seriously though, that was the year that I returned to bikes. The best time of my life. Enjoy your second wind ;)
You'll stop worrying about being 40.
Ear hairs start to go dark. Electrolysis is the answer:cool:
Your willy will fall off :smt064
And you won't care. Plus your house will start smelling of pee.
Happy birthday!
Well if u look at this way...at 40 you will be 10 years from 50. then at 50 you will only be 10 from 60...then free bus tokens! yippeeeeeee, (youll need em!)

Enjoy it mate. In a year 40 will be just another age you used to be, no different than 19 or 26. Sob. Maybe that's just me :(
Also, it'll be 10 years before you get another decent birthday present!
You have a good excuse for riding slowly, works for me anyway as I ride slower than a slow thing on slow pills whilst sedated. I overtook a cyclist the other day, was brilliant!
errrrr yeh right!!!! you slow ha ha ha ha
... but seriously I think it's about time you got yourself a mid life crisis.. how about another bike ;)

They say 40 is the new 30...
... though who 'they' are and why they say it I'm not sure. ;)
You are now half way to being able to totter round happyslapping youngsters with a walking-stick whilst yelling "I'm 80 you know" at the top of your voice.
You,ll go running upstairs for something and forget what it was was by the the top step, then you,ll go on the ORG. for two hours, go downstairs and remember what it was you were after in the first place and then forget it again......happy birthday young un.
p.s. Ive had more fun since I was 40 than anytime I can remember, mind you me memory isnt what it once was :D

You will remember songs from the first and better release, but then forget.
It will take you all night to do what you used to do all night.
your back will go, followed by belly.
You will start to see thugs on the streets instead of children playing out.
You will become grumpy and then opinionated..
But start to worry if the waist band on your trousers starts to approach your nipples

Everyone in your househols has a better idea of what suits you on the clothing front better than you do yourself.
No one laughs at your fave tried and tested joke anymore.
Your kids cross over when they see you approaching when in the town centre accompanied by their mates.
Your dance moves have now become a focal point for mockery.
You begin to see the sense in owning a small conomical car.
Today's music to you ear is just "noise" as they don't make them like they used to.
You suddenly catch your self in old farty mode way too fequently as you reminisce to all that will listen as to how it used to be.

erm... would the above include opening a bag of wine gums instead of a tin of cat food to feed her cats this morning :confused:
Having said that one cat was quite happily tucking into a red one before I realised what i`d done!!

I do that now!! :confused: or go into the kitchen to get something but end up getting something else, only to remember what I wanted originally when I'm back in my room....
And I'm always writing shopping lists and forgetting to take them with me :rolleyes:
