How old is too old?

Shoey · 04-07-2009, 22:44

Apologies if this has been a topic before, but how old do you'se reckon someone has to be before they're too old to be going to b&s balls?
I never attended a ball in my younger days, simply because my mates never did. So we did the usual bullshit getting dressed up in shit clothes that didn't suit us and going out to crap nightclubs that played crap music that I hate , full of people I can't stand, that don't like people like me, and getting blind drunk just to tolerate it.
Then I went to my first B&S at age 28, and it was just like one of the parties at my house, but bigger. Everyone there was tops and I had a ball, right in our element. Now all the boys and me are real keen, goin' to every ball our old utes can cart us to. We are all mid to late twenties, and hopelessly eternally single, so we will continue to live the lifestyle regardless, but do you reckon there is an age limit when we should call it quits and keep our rum-infused shenanigans to ourselves?

Mate.... if they have a problem.... tell 'em to get bent...

Coota · 05-07-2009, 17:14

your never to old to do what you like.
the young blokes should look up to the older blokes.
we have got there they still have to get there.
cheers
as long as my arse points to the ground i will party with the best of em.

Wild Jim · 06-07-2009, 02:25

Well said Coota. I 100% agree... I'm in the better half of the 40s, and I don't see me slowin down at all, and bugger anyone that says otherwise
[it hasn't happened as yet] .

And Shoey, you got nuthin to worry about, age is just a number, I still think I'm in my 20s when I go out partyin.
People will respect you, and not how old you are.
Like Coota says "as long as my arse points to the ground i will party with the best of them"

Cheers mate ... Party on.

^^^^ well said

i may only be 22 but have been to a few b&s 's i dont usually get along with people my age usualy see me with people in there late 30's early 40's so i cant see the point in telling the older people they cant go

Boppo · 10-07-2009, 21:22

Ya only too old when the music is too loud, and thats for you to decide , not someone else!!!

Rock On i say!!!

spinifex · 13-07-2009, 12:09

Went to my first BnS when i was 18, back in '65, though they were not like today's.
My last one was Inseminators in '07, when i was 60.

You choose what age is too old.

mouldy · 13-07-2009, 13:23

Thats right your never to old. I've hit 42 & still love goin to balls with friends ranging in age from 18 to mid 60's. I even starated up the RUM BUM winter RUM RUN with people aged 18 to 60 comming along' its kinda like a B&S with a bit of ute muster thrown in & a few extra things. Just like balls every one has a common interest.
Keep enjoying life for as long as you can with everyone old & young.
Till our utes meet at some B&S somewere in this big brown land of ours.
