Get off my lawn.

I'm going to be sixty this year. I'm still not sure how to feel about that.

Happy Birthday! It’s a day when people give you presents and cards and cake just for making it this far. Enjoy!

I’m younger than you, by about 96 hours, and I feel it too despite never having been in charge of anything.
You keep on doing your thing, being an influencer to those youngsters who ARE “in charge”.
Happy birthday 🥳

In 20 days I’ll join you. Obsolescence I’m easy with, it’s the ‘but what have you done?’ I’m finding tough.

You bloody youngsters

Happy birthday. I have known that feeling for a few years!

Well there’s a decent chance by this time next year you’ll once again be younger than 🇬🇧 PM.

Do not worry. The gerontocracy has you covered. The 55+ group is solidly covered by political representation on both sides of the aisle in all three branches of the United States government.
