Reaching Elvis' death age made me feel old but on the plus side I was better looking than him and in better shape at 42.

Stone?

Grey hairs at the side of my head - not helped when Tranmere were hanging on at 1-0 at home to Dover to complete quite an ambitious acca last night. My heart was pounding.

I might buy some hair dye with the winnings.

What makes me feel old is that I have now been working at the same place for longer than any of the kids at the highschool next door have been alive.

 

[Questions]

Listening to the 1966 World Cup Final on a little transistor radio whilst camping in the New Forest on the 30th July having become 9 years old in the June . Sister still 2 years from her first Goldstone match and me 3 years since my first . So much water under both my life and Albion's bridges in the ensuing 50 years . Many memories seem like yesterday as does this . But do start to feel old on reflection .

VPM rule ok.

I used to wear flares when I watched the Albion, now I can't anymore as I'll be banned.

Your eyesights gone. You can still wear them but you can't light them and fire them onto the pitch.

 

[Questions]

What happened to the half time score cards placed against the wall on the east terrace that would correspond to your programme fixtures. Transistor radios coming in ruined all that.

Then the shout of 'football half times' by the Argos seller even though the match had finished by then. And where are all the bog rolls nowadays ? Transferring to the north if it was pissing down on the east........ that always made for a great atmosphere.

These are all stories I've heard of course.

A pedant writes - they were made of cotton, which is a shrub rather than a tree.

Maybe so, but you'd prefer to have paper money rather than cotton, shirley?

Conversation in work today about a member of staff who 'has a lot of relevant experience and is quite senior'..........and was, er, born after I started work. FFS. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

See the post immediately above yours. Get with it, daddy-o, as they very certainly did not say back in the 1960s.

I remember when Ian Wrights son Shaun Wright Phillips broke into football and then played for England, that made me feel old.

Well, Shaun Wright Phillips son has just been called up for England U16's.

I've just discovered Shaun Wright-Phillips plays for Phoenix Rising, the local team out here (who play in the United Soccer League, the second tier of US soccer). And, supposedly, Didier Drogba signed a three-year deal with the team yesterday.

I might have to get along to one of their games as their new stadium isn't too far from where I live.

Lets get this straight I don't feel old (I'm 60 but look 108) - however.........................................Today while quietly perusing a Screwfix Book in said establishment in Brighton a young fella crept up and asked me if I needed any help finding my items ffsake

Later in ASDA the lady on the till asked if I needed help packing - I had ten items fffffsake
On telling her I thought I could cope at my age she got knocky and said they ask everyone this question (lie) and it wasn't an ageist question
She ignored my cheery 'thank you' after I paid up.
