Popular Post Rodders Posted July 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2015 30 today. Bugger. Still much needed day off, going to do an extraordinary amount of **** all before a mexican with friends this evening. Place does the greatest cocktails. Now racked up c. 15 years on this forum too, in its various forms. Fairly certain, thats about 10 years more than anticipated. Obviously there's no real reason now why one would quit forums at any age in particular, still feels a bit odd! Anyway three cheers for VT keeping me entertained all that time / my various jobs being unchallenging 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone see that McGregor fan tattoo, it's a lad from my town, he's in and out of court every week. Possibly the worst tattoo I've ever seen by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2015 I just turned 29 the other day not looking forward to the big 30The big 30 is shit IMHO. It means you're not in your 20s anymore, and you never will be. At least when you leave your teens you still have 21 to look forward to. But now the next milestone is 40. F**king 40.

Stevo985 Posted July 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2015 My 30th is coming up in December. I think I'm over it now to be honest. My 26th was the worst one for me I think. That's when I realised I wasn't 21 anymore. That was the year where I struggled with the prospect of getting old. Plus I was fat, balding, broke, and my mom's diagnosis with breast cancer had sort of confronted me with the realisation of our mortality (she's fine now by the way). So yeah, that was a very reflective year. Since then everything has gotten better (except for the hair...), and I've been worried about hitting 30 for so long that I've kind of gotten over it before it's happened. Now I'm looking forward to just having a massive party for my 30th. Age is just a number. **** it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 18 was a big deal for me in a sort of weird way. I'd been drinking at a local nightspot called Fantasia for a couple of years (obviously known locally as 'the fanny'). Turning 18 actually meant I could legitimately go in there, it also meant I was probably above average age in there. So I was a bit sad that at 18 I was probably going to have to reassess whether or not I wanted to be seen in the Fanny any more where I'd had so much fun for 2 years. Anyway, yay! Happy Birthday Rodders. Will this be a proper City Road Mexican, with a knife fight and a trip to pleasureline afterwards, or some posh job in the centre of town? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The hardest part about being in my early 30s for me is that I'm now of an age where I am highly undesirable for any professional sports teams to offer me a debut. Never will I play for the Villa, open the batting for England or win the Tour de France. All I have now is darts and crown green bowls. My life is over.

BOF Posted July 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2015 Here's a timely article Turning 30 is a lot like turning 20. Except you’re no longer living off noodles, you’re not worried about how scary life will be after college and you now know 22 straight hours of playing your Playstation is a bad idea... well, you should know. Yes, getting older can be daunting, but it certainly has its advantages. Here are 9 of them.You're 10 years closer to retirement than you were at 20 Next time the Monday blues are getting to you and you feel really old, just think of this. People take you more serious But of course they do, you're not a kid any more. You're not ancient either, so don't be worrying. You still have 10 years until your 40 Everyone knows that's when you're really old. In five years you'll be able to run for presidency (only Ireland ...) Which is nice... You know yourself Your 20s are all about finding yourself, so your 30s are about enjoying that person you've become. So, start enjoying. You probably don't have to worry about getting ID'd at bars Which is definitely a hassle most of us could do without. You know how to cook at least one decent meal by now Well, you should do anyway. "This too shall pass" actually means something Age gives us perspective. Thank god. You probably have your own place or are close to getting it Which is pretty darn awesome. You're at the age where having room mates causes more stress than it does craic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 44 and probably the happiest and having the best time of my life. Grown up daughter, fewer financial worries, in a job that pays well and I enjoy to an extent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
