    Thanks to a lovely post in the bike forum (although I’m sure it wasn’t meant in a positive way 🙁 )

    Ahhhh man your so cool and trendy perhaps we should all follow suit and act 20 years younger than we are and wear hideous loud shorts and take plenty of self indulgent photos whilst riding along shit flat terrain like you

    You iz my hero

    Is anyone sad enough to act their actual age? I can’t think of anything worse, long live acting like a kid! 😀

    When I turned 40 I bought a big red motorbike – does that count as “acting my age”?

    I still feel 18 at heart. I suspect I always will.

    I might act my age if I could remember what it was….

    Nope, that’s a midlife crisis. 😯

    I act older than I am: I dance rock and roll, I read books written before I was born, I like cars driven by old men (I was already running around in the same car as the president in my early 30s) and spend much of my life sleeping.

    Well, if we were all the same life would be pretty boring. Live and let live.

    The nice thing is,I am old enough to not really give a toss what other people think 🙂

    Loved riding bikes in the dirt at 14and listening to the clash, why bother changing at 50?
    My mum has repeatedly told me she thinks I am peter pan. Growing up is for boring old farts.

    That would be boring.

    Paladin is that acting young or a sign you watched the flowerpot men when you were a kid? . . . .

    Im the last person to judge – long live my youthful mentality and I dont care what the rest of the world thinks as long as I feel young …. and stay away from mirrors 😀

    I’ve been told that “you need to act your age, not your shoe size” a few times. I’m in the US, so my shoe size is 8-1/2. I’m 44… 😀

    It doesn’t matter whether I act my age, or my (european) shoe size because currently they are exactly the same.

    Your age is just an indication of the number of times that you’ve been round the sun not an indicator of how you should behave.

    ALways getting told to grow up when I was younger, always thoughts “Why would I want to do that!”.

    My Girlfriend says I act like I am 6 possibly going on 7 as I like riding in the wet and getting muddy as just an excuse to get muddy. I also ride through puddles.

    Yes I am sad enough to act my age.

    If I acted like an 18 year old douche 24/7 It is more likely than not I would not be successfully self employed with plenty of bike time.

    I would be asleep till noon in jizz encrusted pants and not a sniff of pu$$y in sight.

    Or in your case RD very colorful pants.

    Age should not define the things you do. You define the things you do.

    48 and was told yesterday by my wife that I was ‘grounded’.

    Due to been a bit late back from our Saturday ride – at 6pm when we should’ve been back we were still sampling the Pennine Way ‘northshore’ in the Cheviots 🙂

    I’m not sure how a 44 year old mum should act, other than being a responsible parent! I can never see myself wearing beige!

    It’s a stupid expression. It means that as you age you should meet the misguided expectations of younger people, that is: to be less fun and energetic than them. Given the parlours state of today’s youth, that’s unlikely!

    God, I sound old.

    right so somewhere in society there is a rule that we should act in a way predetermined by the number of times the earth has circled the sun since we were born. If we don’t, this upsets people?….fk ’em! do what you want, you could die tomorrow and I’d rather be the one having fun than worrying about strangers perceptions of me.

    Sadly I look my age but in no way act it.

    For people to ‘act there age’ there would have to be a predetermined way of acting for any particular age. That’s clearly a stupid concept!

    I recently had a birthday card with the mantra

    ‘Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional’

    emblazoned on the front of it.

    It was my 47th birthday and came from my nephew.

    I think he’s got the right idea. 😀

    I still automatically spot/scan every female as I walk into a pub. Terminator-style.

    So no matter how old I am, I’m still an utterly-dirty bastard. Thats what counts.
