I turned 46 last week, and I'm wondering if I'm getting to the right age to consider having a midlife crisis. What age do people reckon is the right age for this?
Also, I'd welcome suggestions for what I could do for the occasion. I'm not really a flash car kind of guy, so that's out. I could trade in Mrs Dub for a younger model but I can't imagine too much demand for what I have to offer if I'm honest, plus I'm not a cooont so let's rule that out too.
This midlife crisis lark is quite difficult isn't it?

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun.
I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.
Mid life crisis? on 20:37 - Nov 27 by factual_blue
You do realise that if you're alive after 2055 you'll be fighting with the people in the adjacent pile of rubble for the radioactive dead rat lying a few irradiated metres away?
That was 40 minutes ago. I've bumped off the neighbours, but I can't find the rat. Any more advice?

Funnily enough I've had it stuck in my head since making this post.
Angel dust is an absolutely perfect album imo.
It is magnificent. Although on later versions they stuck on their cover of 'Easy' which I hate.
The track 'The World Is Yours' was supposed to be on it as well, but they couldn't get all the samples cleared, or at least it would have taken so much effort the record company said no. It also included audio of Bud Dwyer's last moments which is more than grim.
My midlife crisis thing is not cutting my hair, 2 years since my last haircut. I went to a school reunion a couple of years ago and a lot of my ex-classmates were bald or grey haired whilst I have a lush brown flowing mane almost down to my shoulders.
I solved my mid life crisis at 40 by treating myself to a new Aston Martin. You are well within the age group to treat yourself. And don’t let anyone influence your decision as to what that treat may be.

So you got the pushbike, now you need to do something stupid like a very long bike ride. Failing that, get a motorbike, you can defo annnoy all the right people then, proper fun times and never have to sit in traffic again, ever :-)
Another idea/suggestion, reevaluate your career snd be brave. You love music, playing decks right? So imagine working in the industry? How fulfilling would that be? If you dont try, you wont ever do it....
Failing that, why not set up that pirate radio station you know you always wanted to.
Whenever I think of work in the music industry, I just think of Les McQueen from league of gentlemen.

Style over substance for me. The Tesla X I drove, whilst quick was just not fun and the looks were rather boring.
Also. One of my targets I set myself to beat epilepsy was to buy a new Aston Martin. People said I wouldn’t achieve much in life as due to having 2-3 seizures a day, I missed a lot of school and didn’t go to uni etc. (I was proud of my 1 GCSE D grade I got)

When I worked for Bass Brewers (first job post graduation) I found myself in a company who as well as giving me free product and a free bar at work, also had a rather unusual line on their expenses form..."sampling"
When I queried what is was, was told it was for drinking beer. Had to be the company product, could only 'sample' one pint for any barrel and all you had to do was agree to report back to the Brewery if the beer was "off".
So you were basically encouraged to go on pub crawls, all in the name of quality assurance. Many of my colleagues took this part of the job very seriously.

So I hit two birds with one stone

Compensate for your dwindling circle of friends and the indifference of your family by posting random thoughts on the unofficial football forum of a Third Division club?
You can then work through the mid life crisis by analysing the responses and other postings for spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes.

Do half an hour web research on an area of covid, then present your findings in stark contrast to the professionals who have spent their careers working in epidermiology.
Then get very upset when your half an hours research is torn to shreds, getting the hump at others' failures to consider your ground breaking analysis which you are adamant makes you an informed poster with a valuable contribution to the issues...
