Scotland's Ageing Population

No Dennis!

I have already experienced the effects of ageing at first hand

Why did they only look at facial ageing? When I look in the mirror ( a practice I resort to less and less frequently these days) the principal effects appear to be somewhere in the mid-line. Either that or my wife has secretly put up one of these Hall of Mirrors specials just for my benefit!!

Another no here

As I don't really need to, as Russell's procedure means that I'm seeing a face not many years off the age range on offer !!

But then, I realise, I could be very sneaky and enter a photo from some time back, then compare the prediction against the actual, but then again maybe I won't

Dennis whereever do you find these things!

As one who started an unexpected graying process at age 18 (a mutant gene perhaps??) which resulted in first careful combing and then a frosting and then colors and constant maintenace until the age of 40 at which time I bravely said "I've had enough!"

My mirror informs me I'm already well ahead of the curve so no need to experiment further

Best wishes

Ha ha ha ha ha - NAW !!

As one line of the family all look alike anyway we just have to look at older ones to see where we might go.

The great thing about growing older is that the loss of certain faculties comes in very handy at times i.e you're too short-sighted to see the difference for one. I won't go into the others.

That mutant greying gene, I only heard of it once before, a chap I knew in the navy was totally grey at the age of 17, so at least you had a year longer than he did

Hair? What's that

One of my buddies at uni lost all of his, before he graduated

Be thankful you have some that's white/gray -- you have some to complain about!

When my greying(?) hair has been mocked by my balding friends(?), I remind them "better grey hair than nae hair".

All the best,

That sounds like what my younger brothers said to me often, they were going grey but I was thinning out

I also had a friend in the navy who they nicknamed runway, due to his lack of tonsorial growth, we were both on an aircraft carrier and they thought his heid was a good runway for flies
