So what are you doing for your Birthday, old boy 
Its cool Im sure. Ive spoken to men who say their sex lives started when they were 40, and many women who say the best days of their lives also started at 40+
Life is what you make of it remember! Age brings good things mate, calm, slow, enjoy!

Keeping it simple, mates, pub, beer 
Unfortunately I have 12 hour works days on Saturday & Sunday
Us oldies take a while to get over our hangovers, don't you know
It could be worse I suppose, I (co-)own a flat, I'm engaged, money isn't great but I get by, and although my career isn't really going anywhere at the moment I know I'm bloody good at what I do.
I just feel quite mortal at the moment My 20th was pretty depressing I seem to remember, but my life and head are both a hell of a lot more sorted now than they were then

My 20th was pretty depressing I seem to remember, but my life and head are both a hell of a lot more sorted now than they were then Y'see, I turn 21 at the end of next week and it initially scared me, then I bought The World According To Clarkson, and he came up with a very good point which highlights the difference between my parents generation and mine:
"In the olden days you got married in your teens, had children in your twenties, made a few quid in your thirties, enjoyed it in your forties and fifties and then retired in your sixties.
Now you do nothing in your teens, nothing in your twenties and by the time you're 40 you're on the employment scrapheap, a seven-chinned hasbeen with a spent mind and man-breasts. This means you have to cram your whole life into your thirties.
And that's why it passes at 2000mph."
Most uplifting thing I've read all year.

When I hit 18, I thought I had all the time in the world.
When I got to 21, I still thought I had penty of time, and any day soon I was going to start getting somewhere.
Soon I reached 30. I knew there was still plenty of time, just couldn't quite figure out what I'd done so far.
Forty. F**K ME IS THAT THE TIME??!!

Like a freight, running down hill with no brakes, just goes faster and faster and faster....

Very true!
My dad had wife, 2 kids and mortgage by his late 20s, I can't imagine having kids at the moment, maybe in the next few years.
Most of my friends are around my age, and very few of us own our own places or are married, only have a couple of friends with kids, both older than me. A lot of my friends are still living in student flatshare type situations, but then trying to break into the music business doesn't often leave a lot of cash flying around!
I think it is making me think about using time sensibly. Since I left college in a lot of ways I have been treading water, not going for career opportunities I should have, and just going with the tide. Well that's been 6 years now, so I really need to give myself a kick up the arse and start grabbing onto these opportunities!
(although I'm still not allowed a motorbike

But if you can hang on for long enough, it can be a wild ride!
That's what my old man (70 in February) says as he goes tearing across the Irish country side atop his trusty steed in search cutie wootie ickle foxes.
The bugger does this three times a week - say's he'd do it more if he could find the time - he's realised he needs to cram it in whilst he still can.

great attitude. Hope I end up like that. You're right to be concerned.
The best years of your life are behind you and if you didn't optimise them, only grim physical deterioration awaits you and the immiment spectre of Reaper's Grey, looming like a great, dark looming thing on your all-too mortal horizon.
Still, it could be worse: if you were in Logan's Run you'd be well & truly toast by now.
