Odd things you covet as you get older!…

youth.

I am 52, I could skip youth as such and all the hassle but trade it for some human growth hormone. Definitely missing the ability to recovery from injury. I still have a scar from a simple scratch trying to locate an old trail after forestry work 8 months ago and another from a rock ding in Chamonix nearly 3 years ago never mind the last knee injury.

I understand Human Growth Hormone you can buy 😳

@tthew – can I suggest a Cayman, you can get quite a new one for £15k

I want my Lotus back, and some chest hair to give it the full 3 button down crisis look.

Windows. I want windows in the stairwells in my house.

Stoner, that’s awesome, that’s just what I need.

Both surprisingly affordable!

100kg snatch? Dear gods! I can barely back squat that sort of weight and my PB for snatch is only 50kg. How??

As for coveting, I think that, as I get older, it’s just time that I wish I had. These youngsters nowadays just don’t realise how much of it they have. I never seem to have enough of it.

That feeling that your whole life is laid out in front of you and anything is possible.

Slippers & a warm, dry pair of socks after a wet ride 😀

I’m only 38 FFS 😳

Nothing odd about coveting her, Fankenstein!

Who is she?

I’d like a set of jars with organised screws/bolts/nails etc. ideally jam jars with metal lids screwed to the bottom of a shelf to keep them tidy in my shed that would smell of cuprinol and stale petrol.

Time, just more time – like a 27hr day or 8 day week or something.

It’s my birthday in a few weeks, I’m treating myself to a day on my own ha ha

Being able to do a human flag, it’s a massive step up from the front lever, i feel at the age of 52 it may elude me. 🙁

@tthew – can I suggest a Cayman, you can get quite a new one for £15k

Yes, you can. I assumed they’d be a fair bit more expensive than that, but I suppose they’ve been out 7 or 8 years now.

JulianA – Emma Watson.

Thanks tthew- wondered if it was she.

Lovely!

At 58 I covet 20/20 vision, a full set of fully operative teeth, no tinnitus, knees that don’t creak, groan & crack, the list goes on.
You can keep your sporty cars & fancy bikes, gimme my youth back!

Having the energy and motivation to push down the front and mosh like my life depends on it

Socks and gloves that do really keep my extremities warm.
Muck boots, the merino lined ones.
A wood burning stove.
Really nice, firm pillows.
A nice cake and coffee at he end of a long paddle/ride/walk.

Benji > Unimog, it’s about the only motorised vehicle on the road that gets me excited.

We had one of these parked outside the house a few months ago. The looks it was getting from kids walking past from the local Jr school says this isn’t just an older person’s covet.

a custom telecaster and a really nice amp… I can’t play at all well and have no desire to be in a band which makes the wish all the more irrational

Nothing odd, just a T4 conversion and Scarlett Johansson.
🙂

A caddy maxi life with tinted windows. A new kitchen.

twinw4ll, you inspire me. I’m 25 and am yet to be able to do a front lever. Good on you, keep at it and there’s no reason you can’t do a human flag at age 81…
