Getting old

[HorlocksWalk]

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love

 

[Eaststander1]

Free bus pass and cheaper football tickets ?

Lol, yeah, at least there's that !

 

[stonerblue]

Just bought a volvo...

It’s a bastard, but better than the alternative

.... I think of the fact I will be lucky to see another three world cups after this one. Saddens me.

On the plus side, think of how many international breaks you won't see

You get pissed quicker.

Sounds shit mate, hopefully going forward everything works out

Cheers, I shouldn't complain, there's plenty worse off than me.

My battery has just packed up after 12 months. Good job it's not in a pacemaker.

Recently seen my pacemaker's battery is still good for 14 years before replacement. Though I am convinced every City game takes a year off the fucker. :-)

Defied the years today. Was unplayable for Wales over 50s cricket v Worcestershire today and bagged myself a little motm trophy. On the beer now to toast the game, and numb the aches and pains

I’m 67 due to retire in June and reckon us FOCs of this era can probably say we’ve lived through the best time ever living in the UK -escaping completely rashioning post war and the shit show that appears on the horizon for the generations behind us. Even City came good In time for our generation to witness it. We are old but have seen good times.

We had Concorde, the Vulcan bomber, the Lightning, Harrier jump jets, Pullman trains, QE2, Daimler Jaguar cars and proper Rolls Royce/ Bentley amongst so many other things which were interesting and inspiring.
On top of all that we had great freedom as kids.

Well done mate. Bat or ball or both?

 

[Barcon]

Just carried a 16' pressure treated 6 x 6" from the front driveway to the back of the house. Needed a lie down after and now my back is fucked.

I retired at 56 to spend more time with family, fishing, city and holidays. Thank fuck I did because you just do not know when you will get bowled a Yorker in terms of health. At 68 I am now facing an operation on a brain tumour in the next few weeks. The same day as my season ticket renews. At least I will have a decent excuse for missing games next season.
