Pardon?...

"Getting on" shouldn't be a problem - unless you've done something really stupid in your early days.

I'll be 80 in July, by the way...
I've got 15 years to go to reach that milestone - and the way my body is treating me at the moment have little desire to make it :(

Hey that’s not good to hear.
C’mon - there’s lots to be positive about- if u think about things!
You’re 10 years ahead of me and I’m knackered. My rebuild will hopefully get me to your age. Chin up!

The only annoying bit it the salt and pepper accents in my dark hair and the 80’s Don Jonson designer stubble is white on my chin and if left 5 days/too long I look more Dr Snuggles.

Count yourself lucky. I have had salt and pepper hair for a while now but my stubble is something else.

Leave it to grown more than a day or so and it turns into Joseph's technicolour dreamcoat ... all sing a long now ...
Brown and black and ginger and white and ....

I am 58 in a few months and still spend most of my time acting like a teenager (well according to Mrs Scaf).
On the last leg of my current investment / business / job and hope to be doing the non exec director thing when I am 60, money for old rope (well money for years of experience).
Always had dark hair till it went salt and pepper and then most of it fell out, but why oh why if I do let my stubble grow, is it 70% ‘kin ginger !! No one wants a ginger beard !!

I always said I would never dye my hair, (with the exception of 1980’s highlight experiments) what’s the consensus from the duffers on here?

Yeah, I think I might be starting to lose a bit of colour as well, Matt. I've decided to roll with it. Silver foxes, mate.

50 in 8 weeks FFS

Never though as a child I would get this far. Ok, there are still 8 weeks.

Feel no different from 40, or 30 if I’m honest.

Matt - you look bloody good for it mate.

Also, you have the ability to stay awake longer than me on a night out :)

Who would've thought that'd be our last SM night out for a while, is it a year ago since Waterloo evening out SM 10 Yr celebration?

Honestly, I thoight the same. But NED roles can be so so much more stressful than your day job. Choose very carefully.
