Title: I know I am getting on but....
Post by: oldspice on February 01, 2007, 09:34:44 pm

With accompanying nods, gestures and much strange body langugae I I keep being reminded by friends, family and colleagues that I am "reaching a big milestone this year".


That seems to be an excuse for assuming that I have lost all sense of taste. So, I am leaving little notes here and there to let people know that, should they be planning anything, they can definitely leave the following off the music list:


Cliff Richard


Abba


The Nolans


Barry Manalow


The Bee Gees


 


Why do people assume anyone who grew up in the 70s adores this lot??

Oh OK. Then father-in-law can wear his huge tiger feet slippers!


What must be on the play list is "Me and Mrs Jones".  That brings back some memories!

Na, it's just people keep reminding me. It's my brother-in-laws half century a few weeks before mine so maybe we should have a joint party. Our son is 21 this year too and father-in-laws bit of fluff is 80 so it's quite a year!

No wonder you're planning ahead!  I would just have an open house for the year...

Yes Oldspice, 60 is a milestone but there's no need for people to buy the Nolan Sisters. Mind you I always rated ABBA so I wouldn't turn my nose up at their records.  Are you having a big cake for your birthday, it will have to be quite big to get all the candles on

It was a joke.  How do I know how old Oldspice is!!!  I assume the landmark is 50.

I hope I can still be described as someone's bit of fluff when I'm 80!

  She's a bit of a dragon actually and we have various names for her depending on how much trouble she' causing!


I am certainly not 60 this year! I might look it at the moment but I am nowhere near 60!

I passed my milestone last week (40) and it wasn't as bad as everyone said it was going to be. I hope you have a great time, with or without your father-in law's tiger slippers.
