You know what? I think I probably would !
I am 33 years old and have seen a fair amount of stuff in my time on this planet.
Don't get me wrong, I haven't seen murders and stuff, but I think I've lived my life and experienced a fair amount.
What I'm trying to say is that nothing really surprises me anymore.
Stuff happens in this world, and I just think "Same old Shit, different day".
That came to an end last night while watching TV.
I happened to turn over to BBC1 at about 11pm.
What I saw, quite simply astonished me.
The TV programme was One Life and this particular episode of the series focussed on Old age Pensioner Bodybuilders.
I don't normally like looking at these people coz well, it sort of repulses me (Maybe coz I'm a 7 stone weakling Sinitta).
However, and it is a very big however, one of the people who they interviewed was 86 year old Marjorie Newlin.
She's amazing.
And you know what, despite not normally being attracted to Afro-Carribeans (hope that's P.C.), I probably would.
Prepare to be amazed.

Although the optics of geriatric 'roid pushers can be a little off-putting at first, I admire the dedication these people have, and hope that I'm as healthy at their age.
Definitely an inspiration to the rest of us to lead a better - and longer - life.
Thanks for sharing this. I need to find the video now!
You're welcome carmi. Howz things?
Had anything else published recently?
Wow. I'm creeped out and impressed at the same time.
Hi from Michele's.
I hope I'm that healthy adn fit as a pensioner!
My says that basically you need to use it or lose it!
Oops! Michele sent me!
She is so not 86!!! How creepy!!! That takes being healthy over the top I reckon!
Michele sent me.
Thanks for stopping by my blog (although now I am slightly embarrassed about my pictures)
I agree with chrysalis, it's impressive to be that strong at that age (or any age) but slightly wrong at the same time.
*cringe* I don't know about having those kinda thoughts about women in their 80s! That just freaks me out, Grant. I do admire her ability to keep working out at that age.
Who knows--maybe you'll be surprised again soon. The world keeps tossing stuff at us!
Michele sent me, Grant.
Wow! I hope I will be doing that when I get to be that age.
Never underestimate us old'uns! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the visit.
While that is remarkable - I can't help but be somewhat repulsed by body building.
Afro-carrib is PC, but I'm not one of those PC guys :P It is amazing what tosh the BBC will put on these days though, and like most I think I'm both amazed and repulsed by the thought of that.
What ever next Miss OAP Universe
So good......
