This will make you feel old

For a "joke" my wife subscribed me to the Saga magazine (for the over 50s).
In each issue they list older people who are having a "milestone" birthday.
The lists make you feel very old. The latest issue has:
Turning 80
Jeremy Thorpe (I though he was dead), Andre Previn, James Last
Turning 70
Marty Wilde, Judy Carne (Laugh in), David Frost, Lee Majors
Turning 60
Paul Gambaccini, Anita Dobdon, Jessica Lange
And even Emma Thompson ("comedy" actress) is turning 50.
I always think of the lyrics of "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon, where it says:
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"

Jennifer Saunders is 51-- I remember her on Channel 4's opening night aged 24. Now she has a folk musician daughter of..24.
The girl I fancied in sixth form? Has a son playing schools rugby!
I do feel old...

I saw Emma Thompson on a recent episode of Q.I and she looked good.
speaking of which I was absolutely stunned to find out just the other week that actress Jennifer Tilly is 50, I mean have you seen this woman? she looks about 30, fucking amazing looks and body for a 50 year old.

So how old do you think Jennifer Anniston is, i walked through Leicester Square a couple of weeks ago around 10.0 am and there was an army of people and camera crews hanging around just to get a glimpse of this middle aged dog at the premier of her new film, no sorry the film was about her and a dog !wink!
