coxyhog Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 From the age of about 14 to 17 I had a Saturday job in an upmarket menswear shop in Rickmansworth....probably why I've always worn jeans & T shirt ever since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore suits my whole "employed" working life from aged 18 onwards. I used to buy three new ones each year all in the Marks & Sparks New Year sale plus a selection of new shirts and ties. I never ever thought clothes looked good on me but I was guaranteed to get suits to fit in M & S. When I was made redundant for the second time and commenced a year of study etc to start my own accountancy practice working from home I gave the whole lot to Oxfams charity shop. I then had just one jacket, shirt and silk tie I kept for formal interviews with the Inland Revenue in Edinburgh but my clothing for seeing clients was normally grey chinos and a navy blue polo shirt. When they visited me at my home they invariably found me in jeans. It might sound disrespectful but generally my clients appreciated the informality and many became as much as friends as clients. When my youngest daughter got married in Edinburgh I flew in from Thailand and had to immediately buy a suit, shirt and tie and luck would have it as it was the end of summer sale time. I was quite impressed with how smart I looked for 90 UK pounds but left the lot behind when I returned to Thailand. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't me wrong - there are dudes in my condo area with garages, fixing their bikes or restoring one. Love hanging out with these fellas and watching them work. Good times. Most bikers in the west have a way better grip on safety than Somchai 4 to a bike with no helmets in the LOS. I respect bikers here in the States, but not so much in the LOS and a few other SEA countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still doing a job that I love and it keeps me on the go all day long. I'm in crawlspace, in attics, on top of roofs, up an down ladders, and constantly on the run.... and I love ( damn near... Haha ) every minute of it. I have the normal aches and pains at the end of the day but nothing a couple hits of morphine wont cure.... just kidding. About the only thing that gets to me are sore feet and because of asthma my lungs strain when having to carry heavy loads of building materials. 90% of the time I feel as if I'm still in my 30s. But I have to admit there are a few days that I wake up feeling like 182.... lol. Do you wear lace up or elastic sided boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I where lace ups. I think that elastic sided boots are way too efeminate 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunDon Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I feel my age now (just gone 68) mainly down to a few serious health problems, but I’ve been slowing down since I was 55, because nothing in my life is that urgent that it needs to be done ASAP. 🤔 I don’t know if I look old, as I chucked out every mirror in the house years ago. 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what makes you feel old, and from what age did you notice it? Yesterday I removed & refitted the panniers on my bike,a job I last did probably about 15 years ago. Then it was easy,yesterday I ended up soaked in sweat & with my back in agony.It took 3 big Cobra's to soothe the pain. Having had 24 hours to think about it that definitely made me feel my age.Thank f**k I gave up working for a living.

Golfingboy Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Besides all the extra weight I carry, I feel fine. But 4 days ago, out of nowhere, got a massive pain where the big toe connects to one foot. Internet says Hallux Rigidus, maybe arthritis. Got better last night with elevating the foot and dipping it in ice water. Just a real shock because I didn’t put any stress on or have bad fitting shoes. Anyway, first time I’ve personally felt older at 44. Anyone else here have a sore big toe joint/tendon?
