Beer usually gives me a 60 hour migraine.

That gets old after a while.

Last Friday I went out got rather drunk and was still asleep at 5pm.

I'm only 31... but it turns out we'd drunk 15 pints as well as the compulsory Jaegerbombs, sambucas, tequilas etc.

[i]I've not even had a mid-life crisis[/i]

I've had about five. I've just bought a cruiser, I'm not sure if that's another mlc or not. I'll think about it when I'm in hospital.

you talk about how expensive things are these days (not pimpy bike stuff, but essential food items);
you invest in anti aging skin care when you turn 30, suddenly feeling old, and consider that it might be time to start wearing make up to work.

TSY, you really are the male me - same age, train 6 days a week, spinning, weights, yoga...its spooky! Do you also have a tattoo?

So what shall I get? 😆

Had an enforced day of rest today... sprained wrist in an accident yesterday. Jeez it's killed me. Felt like some sort of junky going cold turkey! Bring on RPM at 7:15 tomorrow morning.

I think you should start a thread, it would be amusing to see suggestions 🙂 I know a woman who turned 50 and got a red stiletto on her inner thigh. I'll need to work on my next one to make it a proper mid life crisis one as i like mine 🙄

Hope your wrist heals soon and you don't get cold sweats from going cold turkey!

TSY - are you really 31? I thought you were in your 40s?!! Not sure why though 🙂
I always feel old around my friend's son who is 18 and has pierced ear and goth tendencies, I'm only 10 years older than him but still feels a massive gap.
I definitely think I'll have a midlife crisis next year when I turn 30 🙁

Must be because I come across as really mature, but yes, I am really 31 🙁

You're asleep, but others worry that you're dead.

Thank god I went to bed when I did, no way I want to get sucked into the sordid midlife crisis underworld that yeti exists in. Seeing as mine was 8 yrs ago if what you are saying is right yeti, does that mean I have to sleep with you retrospectively? 😛

If getting some ink and sleeping with me is the new benchmark of mid-life crisis then so be it.

I'll even throw in a free 'I slept with TSY!' tattoo... 8)
