I intended the use of 'Old' solely in the context that one would address a chum of some standing and duration (which is an obvious liberty on my part, but - then - it is me taking the liberty, it's what I do best ... I don't actually have any chums, of course, so occasionally I borrow other peoples').
I most certainly was not intending to suggest that your knees were creaking on the way up the stairs, young man (even if your use was somewhat more metaphorical than mine). That is my penance, sadly, for a life well-lived and too many years under the belt.
Cheers,
Ike
