I can honestly say no, I don't. Things are meant to change I'm not s'posed to enjoy the stuff 15 year olds do, but for everything I don't like, I can still find things I love.

I don't get hung up on how things used to be... I may reminisce at times, but that's more on a personal level - would like to have the enthusiasm and energy of youth that I used to.

On a bigger scale, I don't things have altered greatly, soe things were crappy and still are, some things were good and they still are.

I like young people, I don't always understand them anymore but that's not because they have changed - it's me who has changed, like I'm meant to

The thing that has made me grumpy lately has been my health. If I can get that sorted I'll be a happy relaxed bunny again.

Life is to be lived . Life is not a dress rehearsal . Positive mental attitude is the key. Things change sometimes for the better sometimes not. I'm 34 and like to think I am happy go lucky kind of lady. I have teenage kids so realise the younger ones often get a hard time. Smile and stop been a grouchy old git before your time.lol.

To be honest, having the good fortune to travel extensively with my work and witness at first hand the existence of communities all over the world who face daily challenges which make the sort of everyday troubles people in this country face, pale into insignificance by comparison.

Yet these same communities willingly share what little they have without moaning about the unfairness of life or disproportionate spread of privilege which abandons them to struggle for daily survival

So ……no I don’t moan…… In fact I even try not to moan about people who moan……….!.

Im a grumpy old cow sometimes ... but that doesn't stop me from being happy

A good grump is good for you on occasional times but if you do it 24/7... well I say no more

How very dare you suggest that I'm a moaning old git

You young uns don't know how good you've got it, you'd soon change your tone if the glove was on the other foot!

We had to walk to school in our day and what's more, we had to work sums out on our fingers not get answers from tinterweb thingies

Oh yes! Don't forget that it was us that created the easy path you young whipper snappers walk, hard graft and dedication to the job that's what we did so you lot could have an easy ride.

I'm 39 y'know, I've seen some changes.

I'm not doing bad for 39 though am I eh?!

Coal!! That's where it all went wrong

If you didn't pull your weight you were out!!

I blame that powdered egg in the war.

39 I am, you aint see many that can do what I do at 39 have you

Right, this is my bus, a few more years and I'll have me pass.

Eh, bet you've not seen many like me that look this good at 39 have you?

Say hello to your mother for me.

Old? You don't know the meaning of the word, get to 39 and do what I've done, you don't know your born

Hark at him! Telling us old uns what its like wait tile he gets to our age then it'll be who'd a thought it!

I'm 39 y'know!
