i'm 72 but like to simply say to anybody who asks "I'm over 60"..
Mentally i feel like I'm 18 no kidding, I write internet wargame aricles and tutorials under my fighting name 'Poor Old Spike', and regularly whup kiddies half my age in online games.
I used to be in a cycling club in my younger days and amazingly still have the same slim shape despite giving up all forms of exercise 20 years ago, and despite eating junk food by the truckload.
Healthwise I'm not too bad but my waterworks have been playing up recently, my doctor wanted me to have a cystoscopy but after reading up on it I opted out because it sounds too much like what aliens do to abductees..

PS- When I watch "born survivors" like Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford on TV, I smugly think "Keep at it you blokes then perhaps in 25 years you'll have survived to your 70's like me and others"..
