Saturday night
Seeing as we are all over 50, I wondered what the majority of you do for entertainment on a satdi neet (excuse my wigginese) I used to go out every weekend to my local club, even after my wife passed away, but the last couple of years, I have lost all interest, one reason being having to walk, with the streets the way they are today, so I mostly stay in, with a nice bottle of red and watch a dvd or telly , if there is owt good on, be interesting to know how the good folk in other parts of the world spend their saturday nights. please keep your answers clean, at 72 I cant stand too much excitement

Re: Saturday night
I suppose if my wife wasn't around Aitch I would do the same thing as you, or maybe every other Saturday night slip up to the pub for a chin wag with some of the other old lads just for a change. There ain't a lot of things to do on Saturday night when your over 60 except take it easy and relax

Re: Saturday night
I still work full time so my Saturday nights are precious! Friday nights I'm too cream crackered to stay up but I don't want the weekend to disappear too quickly & try to stay up on a Saturday night.A bit of telly, joining in here & partaking of a few Smirnoffs is my bag!

Re: Saturday night
Nothing exciting here: stay home with my latest book, skim the net; have a beer and a snack, watch the late news on TV and then to bed. And that's pretty much the same pattern Sunday thru Friday ... too old to be interested in pub crawling any more. It was fun in it's day, but "to everything there is a season" ........03-09-2011, 09:44 PM

. I used to love going out but just can't be bothered to make the effort now .
I think also the fact I worked on many Saturday evenings and nights makes me appreciate staying home even more

Re: Saturday night
You are all so right, but even though I am into my 70s and a widower, I wont sit in and become a vegetable, the only reason I dont go out is because the streets are not safe anymore to walk down, but I do go out with a friend and his wife from my area, but it means a taxi, which arent cheap, and I dont drink more than a couple of pints now, so is the expense worth the hassle of getting ready to go out, then just to sit there for a few hours listening to, in the main, mundane artistes, I rather enjoy my sundays, when I go for a drive and call for a meal somewhere .

Re: Saturday night
Taxis are expensive aren't they & so are pub prices! I read yesterday that a pint is heading towards £5 in pubs ... it's already £4 in our village & London must have gone that way already!Our roads are safe to walk along ... unless you trip over a badger ... but we can't afford the local hostelry's food & drink prices so we drink at home.
Neither of us are retired yet but after reading your comments I am looking forward to it!!
