I read today in an add someone describe people younger than me as "Coffin dogers" and it started me thinking on the advantages of being old!
I couldnt think of anything except for loads of good memories, so here are some.
I saw England win the World cup and West ham win the FA cup (Twice)
I saw the Beatles live and the Stones and the who and the moody blues etc!!
I watched a man walk on the moon the same night i made love to my g/f for the first time, her parents were on holiday!
This June was the Anniversary of my loosing my virginity 40 years ago! so many girls so little time! and i enjoy it more now then i did then!
I can work out old money! £sd and still convert, the first pair of levi jeans i bought cost me 28 shillings!
my grey hair makes me look distinguished and my glasses make me look intelligent and not a short sighted git!
No one looks to me to be fashionable and no one cares that my favourite jacket is older than my children.
Its taken me years to become a dirty old man so i am milking it for all ive got!
Any one got anything to add?
And I have his autograph! and hursts and greves and i saw george best! play may he rest in peace!

No reality TV shows. In fact, who bothered much with TV?
The innocence of heavy petting, instead of giving it up too young.
A band meant a bunch of musicians playing instruments and singing, not 4 programmed tone deaf teens dancing around like monkeys, singing recycled songs.
Meat with flavour.
No designer clothing.
Shoes with square toes.
You could leave your door unlocked on your house and your car.
Blimey, it must be great being old like you lot lmao....
think my memories really start with a raleigh chopper.
mansfield Town playing at wembly ( pint at wigan for anyone that can tell me the year and score without google)
Salt was good for you

Jubblies in the summer.......... you know, triangular shaped carton with a frozen Orange lump in it......... great !
Spicy Tomato Snaps only 2p :shock:
Any one got anything to add?
For me the advantage is about experience and memories. When I think back I have some great memories - lots of personal moments that accumalate with time. I also can think of a number of women I have enjoyed relationships with over those years. Both long term and short term.....In fact some no strings short term intense relationships were amazing. I would say my bext shag ever was in one of those. I think that is something you value with experience and time - you can have great sex and the chemistry can work well without either person being in Love and wanting to make a long term commitment. I think all the accumalated experience and variety help as well! It is why I am swinging - wishing to share more of those great intense moments which is what we all want I guess.
halfpenny an ounce.
