Happy birthday
dave58 , i'm always looking in the mirror wondering who the hell that old guy is that is starring back at me.
Do something tomorrow that you will remember for the rest of your life. Make a memory ... I honestly think that's what life is all about.
I hope you get to spend the day doing something you love to do, surrounded by people you love to be around.

Happy birthday Dave its just a number. 
i liked Petes above Make a memory ,but i would add also make a vow .....to mature disgracefully.I did so and its working well. I do feel we now have the makings for some forum elitism. .........The over sixties club. 
Incidentally great thread title and once today is over ,lets keep using it.One of the positives about horse racing and betting is the memories ,so lets use this thread to share them.As the forum Admin this may keep you busy because i do enjoy winding up these Young Gun Automates who think a Pen is somewhere to keep Sheep and A4 the quickest drive from London to Bath racecourse.

dave58 and welcome to the club.When I go for a haircut these days ( like you I have a full head of hair) it's very common to be asked "not working today?" It took me a while to suss out the Barber was trying to find out how much to charge me in a polite way!!!.Just follow the Golden rules & you will be fine.
1).Take every opportunity to have a Wee.
2) If you do get an Erection use it!!!.
3) Never trust a Fart.

Even when i was a Young Gun as opposed to my current Old Git status i liked adages.Often when i could not find one to suit i would make one up.! Is there not one along the lines of with age comes wisdom,and how does this pan out from a betting perspective.?
Over the years the Cambridgeshire has become one of my fav races with plenty of disappointments but the winners proving worth the wait.Thinking back did age give me some wisdom,back in my early days. ? I was still a teenager and in my local Corals having my first bet in the race ,no thought work or effort ,just a tip taken from the newspaper "expert".I was standing next to an OG named the horse and bragged i have just had a tenner on,OG said its an 8yo they seldom win this race.
He was proved correct and was the wisdom an awareness of trends.? Same race the next year different OG but bugger me same outcome ,i gobbed off about having £10 ew on mine OG said its been raining at Newm the going is now soft and will not suit yours.! Which proved correct.! The wisdom of having proven on soft on side,when needed.!
These Old Gits do sometimes have some wisdom to offer,if the Young Guns stop listen and think with there Bonce as opposed to expecting there Lap Top to do every single part of the job for them.! I would like to belatedly thank the two OGs mentioned above, because for both races although i lost my money i gained what proved to be some very useful knowledge.
