Thank you Porkie I was just about to say the same. How very rude some people are.

Its the Glasses thing that got me :-D :-D :-D They,re needed to see what your up to :-D :-D ;-)

Most of the over 60s in the UK would have got a lot of practice in the dark during the miners strikes and ensuing baby boom so for them the spectacles comment does not apply. In any case contact lenses were invented some while back.

I am over 60.
I play squash twice a week and sail a Laser competitively,
I drive a very fast car, flat out sometimes off the public highway.
I like to go to jazz clubs until the wee small hours.

I just feel sorry for people who think that 60 is a time to turn turtle.

A re tread joke that is increasingly unreal and unfunny.

Mr Magoo is very funny and never has a go at any particular group, just a larf at general human zaniness. Leave the jokes to him. I'd like to see whoever keeps referring My M barred permanently.

Maybe Barry had a point.

I look forward to 15 :-D

22. you don't have to worry about having a sense of humour

Rollo! :-D

In which case I assume the "Noise abatement society have been informed" :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

:-D :-D

Rollo. I personally have not seen this joke before, if you find it so tiresome why bother to comment on it. I am also over sixty but I do not need to list my activities to impress anyone.

Well I think it is very funny Paula. Nothing as sad as someone trying to pretend they are teenagers :-D :-D Now where did I put me teeth, am expecting visitors...

Doesn't stop him having Victor Meldrew moments Paula ;-) :-D

Well, I read the list and found it very amusing, Paula!

I'll add another:- You can be grumpy, and people will know it's "just your age"! ;-)

GiN. or Piles. :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Well if health permits we would all be able to bungee jump etc.

The only time I jump is when I get cramp :-D :-D
