Turned 50....

My company BUPA medical contribution increased by 140%.
Started receiving emails for Viagra, Saga insurance and Rhine cruises.

Turned 55....

BUPA insist on 3-monthly medicals including the 'rubber glove' or.. no cover. Took the easy way out.
Emails arriving now for a (burial) plot.
Car and motorbike insurance plummet to £250 for both.

About to turn 60 (well.. next June)....

Get a free bus-pass from Scottish Borders Council ( I still cycle 100 miles a week).
People call me sir.
Angela Merkel is looking particularly attractive.
I wear a hat in the car.
Primare CD22. Primare DAB/FM radio. SSP to NVA AP70 and AP10H(JS) with Denon AH-D7100's. LS5 to Cube2's.

Kimangelis,just two things:

Which was the "easy way out"?

For your own sake please get an eye test - even being nearly 60 is not any reason for finding that attractive :shock:
