Title: worlds40wn
Post by: worldshown on 09 June, 2011, 06:59:09 PM
Like a frightening number of boarders lately, I have just turned 40. What a day it has been.

Woke up feeling like my back had been ripped in half after aggravating an old injury doing community work yesterday.

Made it into work to discover the department is under investigation due to something we've either done or haven't done and my manager is still on a suspicious 'sick leave'.

Got a bollocking from a manager from another team, apparently for finishing my work.

Half my presents haven't arrived as my sister didn't want Classic Dr Who DVDs in her Amazon browsing history so gave me the money to get them myself.

And I can't drink because I'm now on painkillers.

Sod this 40s lark. I'm going back to being 39.

Another grumpy old git. Some take time to warm up to it... others take to it like a duck to water!

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.
This seems to be a recurring age recently.
I hope this isn't the general of 2K readers, only the message board.

Maybe you should have asked for something less embarassing, like amputee dwarf porn or Gary Glitter albums instead?   :lol:

Happy birthday.

Sorry it was not great. Mine was opposite.  30's were plop, turning 40 was great even if i did feel really unwell and had to cancel the planned weekend itself.

My word a lot of us turned 40 this past month or two.

Happy birthday mate!

The good thing about turning 40 is that you can like whatever you damn well please and everyone else can sod off!  :D

happy birthday. I'm sure I'll post something suitably depressing when it's my turn in September.

insert comment about: zx81's, no mobile phones and when music was something you could hold.

40 the age when you start noticing the adverts around ASDA saying "over 40 or over did you know you could have.........book a free heath check etc etc"

The best thing about turning 40 is realising you've lived longer than the majority of humanity in aggregate, since the dawn of our species.  You've already beaten the odds into a cocked hat, think what you can do next!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

No much of a celebration, but yesterday I competed in the Cardiff Photomarathon. The results can be seen on my DeviantArt account (linked as my website to the right). Good fun nonetheless.
