Things that over 50's aren't expected to do, have, think, or want?

That's the spirit!

Anya your post 07.53 I've done the second two more than once

MissAdventure: They shouldn't: say "sorry kids, having an afternoon of unbridled passion so don't come round".

I have had to text my partner's daughter pointing out that 10pm on a Saturday night is not the best time to phone her dad, when we only get weekends together

I expect you're busy doing.. some... 'crafts' yggdrasil

Should never share with their adult daughter what they would like to do to Rufus Sewell or Jeremy Paxman.

Must not pinch their husbands bum on escalators or try to ram their umbrella up his bum in public.

They should never:
Eye up mens bottoms when sitting on the tube or bus - even if said 'bits' are at eye level.
Call dithering shoppers all manner of names under their breath at checkouts.

Teetime

Don't know where you lot live and what sort of people you know, but most of the things you have posted, the over 50s up here can be found doing on a night on the Toon. Quite often in the company of their DDs, DILs and even DGDs. GAG nights (Grab a Granny) have been going on for ages.

Just a thought ... I wonder how many of us who have posted here have also expressed our dismay about the GN / Facebook link ? In the light of 'FaceGate' as I like to call it in the dim recesses of my brain, this has felt like a very funny antidote to all the angst!

I'm one of the protesters about Facebook, and the 18 thousand Twitter followers.
I'm mortified to think that I may have given away info which is not really mine to give: about family and suchlike.

...should never wear too much mascara
... stay out late and wake up with a hangover
...have a boyfriend younger than their children

Ana 16.32 yesterday

Guess what, your prediction came true

Look at their nieces new boyfriend - same age as their own son - and think phew he's fit...........!
Buy sexy knickers...........!
Read books because someone has told you that there are very rude bits in them............!

Wear a bikini
Find they are wearing exactly the same clothes as their 10 year old grand daughter (black leggings, sweater, cardigan and flatties)
Drink pints
Prefer cheese at the end of a meal rather than a dessert.

Have a gin evening with new neighbours Have a lovely time, meet nice new people and stagger home a little worse for wear

What have I done recently at 60+ ? Started wearing contact lenses, finally grown out my fringe, learned the Argentine tango and wearing cropped 'girl-friend' jeans size 12 after a lifetime of being a sturdy size 18!

Wow! That's pretty good going, Hilda!

Like Punk, Rock & Metal (I've been listening to it since the 1970s and I'm not going to stop now)
Have a seriously inappropriate thing about the lead singer of a metal band who is younger than one of my DCs
Wear band t-shirts and skinny jeans
Go out and get p****ed as a fart with DD and her mates (and get DS to pick me up)

In view of the fact this is now on Facebook, keeping mine a secret! ????

Ho ho ho Bobbysgirl! we can but guess.

merlotgran Just wondering what "like an old people's home" looks like on a forum? !!

Thank you all for this very entertaining thread! I've been chuckling my way through it, wondering which are things you've actually done and which are just things you fantasize about. Makes great reading, anyway.
Just off to bed now. Am I allowed to sleep in the nude?

Definitely shouldn't have a f**k buddy
Appear in porn videos

Is it ok to watch the porn videos

I agree with Ana . FB would maybe live this. We should never just get up one day get a plane and explore a new city. Blow the housekeeping on a fab new outfit and join a dating sightt
