Well I became 40 this summer, I started a new job in August and haven't found my feet yet but I'm having a ball, meeting new and interesting people from the UK and abroad. So good so far!

Re: Does life begin at 40?

I like a nice sit down and a good scratch. Turning 40 opened new doors of opportunity for me.

And a cup of tea. And don't get me started on biscuits.

Well, all I can say is that life at 40 is exactly the same as life at 39. Maybe something will happen soon......

Yeah, I'd like to know what God has in store for me that requires me to have longer nasal hair as I get older.

Re: Does life begin at 40?

Echo other posts in saying I won't know for another 5 years!

I do have an ever growing amount of grey hair though, so much so my Wife calls them my "wings" a la Paulie Walnuts from The Sopranos.

I also get a lot of nose hair, but quite enjoy pulling them out. All these nasal hair trimming tools are pointless if you ask me.

I think age is more about state of mind. I know people in their 40s/50s who are always out doing stuff and living life and I know people in their 20s/30s who do nothing but sit watching TV and playing video games. The only time I believe people should act their age is when it's a medical requirement (OK, live your life, but if you're an arthritic octogenarian, bungee jumping may not be the wisest move).
