Driving holiday. I've wanted to have one for years and this year we did.

ReplyDeleteJane x
Nice one jane
DeleteWhat time is it?
ReplyDeleteI'm 52 and I still haven't had my first pint--But my first 'boy kiss' was at 16....
ReplyDeleteI was a late starter with getting divorced. When The Hurricane was born more than 27 years ago, I told X after a couple of months that I wanted a divorce. He talked me out of it and we were married for 33 years and 11 months. Divorce proceedings should have started much sooner because I am so much happier without him. I was a late starter at truly falling in love, because I met Willy Dunne Wooters so recently. I believe it is true love. It had better be because I'm not looking for another man now. I was also late in finding out what a camel toe is.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yep me too...didn't realise my marriage was fake until 26yrs in. [Still here, biding my time].
DeleteEarly with the virginity tho, that was 'taken' from me at 14 and didn't realise it was indeed 'taken' (as opposed to given) until recently.
Also, didn't realise my in-law family disliked me until 15yrs in.
Bit of a mug, me.
sigh
x
Love the camel foot comment
Deletecarol vorderman was awful on countdown for the camel toe. My friend wrote to them to tell them! lol
DeleteWent paddle boarding on Tampa Bay last yea (52)....I'm overweight and not athletic, so it was a big deal. Married my high school sweetheart who I met at 17. Never had a good hair day till I went through menopause and it went all wild and bed head like....now I love it.
ReplyDeleteI had to google paddle board!
DeleteWay to go
I was the last one of all my friends to start shaving but lost my virginity to a guy at age 14 and to a woman at 19.
ReplyDeleteI like to think that I did most things at roughly the right time. Now you've made me feel guilty; there MUST have been something!
ReplyDeleteYou're too normal Cro. Spend time on Tom Stevenson land.
DeleteAh, I've just thought of something; I didn't discover the delights of Cumin till I was about 25........ 25 wasted years.
DeleteThink!
DeleteYou'll find something
First kiss (peck) at 12. Second kiss at 16. THat's all you're going to get from me here, but I feel a post coming on about virginity.
ReplyDeleteCome on
DeleteSpill the beans
Your so funny.
ReplyDeleteOK, why did you moon some American tourists ? I know people don't like us but why oh why did you moon some tourist who just came to see the Palace, shop at Harrods and do all sorts of tourist things ?
I been to the UK many times but I think I would remember being mooned.
I am so old maybe I forgot ? hahahahahahahahaha
cheers, parsnip
I was in York after too many white wines......
DeleteIt' seemed a good idea at the time
Well then I understand !
DeleteIn San Juan Capistrano, California there is one day a year when lots of people line the track moon the train as it zooms by. I think they call it Moon over Capastrano !
I can't remember why or how this started but what a hoot.
Why have I now got a huge desire to moon at American tourists?
ReplyDeleteGo out and find a couple.......they are the ones in checked pants
DeleteI'm a late starter on just about everything - apart from being on time ! I'm a stickler for being on time & hate hate hate people being late !!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely..... I HATE being late for anything too
DeleteFirst 'x' film at 17
ReplyDeleteNever smoked or done drugs (although not dead yet!)
Bike without stabilisers at about 9
Also lost my virginity at 18, and also to a woman!
Never kissed a man, except on the cheek occasionally.
Kissed my first woman at 17
First ballet at 38
Never been to university.
Never killed a chicken.
First trip to London at 10

Often wear shorts for work in the summer, knee length of course.
Never mooned at American tourists, although now you have planted that idea!
Fell in love for the first time at 33
Thanks for that Gary!
DeleteAnd when was your LAST spliff? (If you're in danger of self-incrimination you're not obliged to answer.)
ReplyDeleteLike Gary above I too have never been a smoker or ever tried any 'recreational' drugs - and I am also not yet deceased (though some days it don't feel like it!)
Never been in love (apart from my mum and my pussies - both of which are/were NON-sexual, I hasten to add).
Not since I was 34..... And I must admit I never smoked it ( but ate it in a quiche)
DeleteNow you force a confession out of me. Once I went to a party in Germany (male only, if you get my meaning, which you will) where one of the main eatings available was baked cookies, in which I participated along with everyone else. Later I discovered, though only by over-hearing, that they'd actually contained marijuana ('hash cookies'). If I hadn't known I would never have guessed - they were rated generally as a failure. No one felt any effect at all. Maybe just as well. So, I'm truthfully not quite the druggie virgin I'd like to pretend to be, though it's a far cry from earnest, intentional indulgence.
DeleteIt is never too late John! I am 50 and not yet learned to ride a bike. Hopefully that is what I plan to do next year!
ReplyDeletei'm still a virgin at 43...
ReplyDeleteAh bless
DeleteLife. Just started properly about half a year ago. 'The best time to plant a tree is 30 years ago. The second best time is now.'
ReplyDeleteEls
Well said els
DeleteDidn't lose my virginity till I was 22. Went to Australia for the first time aged 58. Gave my first blood donation aged 38. Bought my first house aged 53.
ReplyDeleteI was a very early developer when it came to being an awkward sod, though....
Motherhood at 34. Seems late in a small town.
ReplyDeleteThe young lady I babysat for cured me of virginity when I was fifteen (she must have been in her early twenties). I went home eager to brag to my fourteen year old brother who also baby sat for her, 'Yeah! She's great, isn't she!' he replied. I was crushed! Sadly I then went off to boarding school and never got laid again until after I had joined the Army.
ReplyDeleteI only smoked one spliff in my life, here in Angola aged 34, never again.
First opera aged about thirteen (Puccini's Madam Butterfly), The interval was good, the rest rubbish. My mother cried all the way through, my Father slept.
The rest of my life has been boring.
Virginity at 21 but more importantly, I didn't eat curry until I was 22. I've never looked back.
ReplyDeleteOMG you missed out on all those lovely curries. I could eat curry for breakfast lunch and dinner
DeleteI am definately a late developer, I have never mooned at a group of tourists American or others wise - at 5? I have some catching up to do.
ReplyDeleteI think I started everything way too early but I'm still standing. My surprise is that you didn't have a dog until you were 40! All that wasted time :)
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious... and fascinating. I STILL haven't killed my first chicken. (And it's not going on my list...)
ReplyDeleteSaw my first “X” film at 15

Doc!
DeleteI love ya
Another American tourist mooned

I was a late starter - it's taken until my mid forties to realise that it's ok being who I am and not worrying what other folk think of me. It's so liberating not to care any more!!
ReplyDeleteWell said too sue
DeleteIn the language of Precious Ramotswe, none of you are "late." Yet.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love mma ramotswe
DeleteI started playing ice hockey at 40. It was also when i started ice skating on a regular basis. I'm not a natural athlete by any stretch, still not a good skater or very good hockey player, yet love to play.
ReplyDeleteGood news for me is that i continue to improve, even though it's by the smallest steps imaginable. I'd like to think when i get to Auntie Glad's age, i'll be a good hockey player.
I did many foolish things when I was younger. As far as my brain is concerned my life started again from zero when I met OH. anything before that didn't happen.

ReplyDeleteplufrompdx
Waytogo x
DeleteAge 41 will be the first time I ever live by myself...no parents, roommates, significant other, or child under the same roof. Just me and 2 cats.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though what the hell do us Americans do in England that we get mooned?
I think I was early at everything!!
ReplyDeleteMy only late thing, falling in love, real love, at 44, and that was after a marriage of 26 years and a divorce.
I've yet to moon at an American tourist though ... although there is still time ......(especially if a bus load go past this house and the upstairs toilet net curtain is down .... hehehehe).
I think I was late with everything as well. Still at 30 hopefully that means theres still some things to come!
ReplyDeleteEverything I have done seems to be on schedule, no late firsts.
ReplyDeleteI killed my first chicken when I was 10. We lived on a farm; I didn't actually kill it. My father killed it, I caught it and then processed it. Yep. First and last time.
