Sixty is the milestone where the jokes write themselves: reading glasses on the head, a strong opinion about the heating, and a genuine excitement about a new bin day. The lines below are grouped by where you'll use them, so you can grab a short one for a card or a longer one for a speech.

A joke lands better when it's aimed. Swap in the detail that everyone in the room already laughs about — the golf swing, the sat nav arguments, the loft they still haven't cleared — and a stock line becomes theirs.

One rule for cards: one ageing joke, then something warm. Six jokes in a row reads as a roast, and a 60th card usually gets kept.
