    You use your own experience of injuries to judge the injuries of a professional athlete just 5 years younger than you and realise your current injury would have you retire if you were also a pro. :(

    You walk into the sitting room and spend a good 3 seconds talking to a lump of firewood, while you change a playlist, thinking it's one of your dogs. Only realised it weren't him when I was shocked to see him.on the sofa and done a proper shake of the head

    When someone at work says they were born in 1999. Shouldn't they be at a school?

    When they say at your funeral, he had a good innings. 
    They said that about my Dad who was 90 but I replied that I wished he was still not out and going for his century 😞.

    So poignant @RedChaser.

    My Dad is in the nervous 90's; he plays and misses a lot now, my mum is down the  other end and tells him no quick singles.
    She tells him to block and see out the over.
    He listens but his short term memory is going so he takes a mighty swipe at the next ball !

    I want him to raise his bat to the pavilion and receive a standing ovation for reaching a century. His navy mates who took on the Germans and the Japanese are all out now.
    Some were out in their late teens and early 20's.

    The Bermondsey boy done good !

    Ps. The Millwall fan who I converted to Cafc.

    If I reach my nineties, I expect I’ll be stumped quite a bit. I won’t bowl a maiden over (not that I have since my 20s). There’s more likely to be a trickle down the leg side than a tickle and I might get caught short slashing outside the off stump. When it’s cold, I’ll need an extra cover and I expect I’ll make many slips. As for no balls, it doesn’t bear thinking about. Eventually, I will be all out and there will be a long stop. Hopefully, I’ll be remembered as silly mad off.

    I had a tape walkman when I was a kid. I remember when my older brother first got a CD Walkman. Had tapes in the car too. It wasn't all that long ago that these were common.

    I've trained him since since 2018 version so I will take some credit but boy was I shocked I can't beat the fecker now. 
    Reminded me of when I could beat my dad at games and I used to take the piss. I feel a bit guilty about that now realising he must of felt like I do now
