  • You wonder if there is a new bus service to Blue Water after so many mentions of the B117 and Kent.

    You get a letter in the post from the DWP asking you to apply for your pension.
    Why would D'Maggio Wright-Phillips write to you?

    When you look in the hall closet, and wonder why there's a black and white football scarf in there.

    When you immediately get drawn to the Hip Replacements thread and hurriedly look for your reading glasses :-) 
  •        A clip of Prince William taking his first steps on the Government House lawn in the early eighties in NZ still comes up from time to time.  Makes me feel ancient to know I actually have more hair than William who’s going bald.

    When you are relieved that you have remembered that the reason you were searching a drawer is to find a pair of scissors but by the time you find them you have forgotten why you wanted them.
  • You look at the Cryptos thread and realise you really haven't got an effing clue what anyone is going on about!

    When you’re too old to be the fan @Off_it would want to help the club engage with the suppprters.

    In my view this needs to be someone "new", enthusiastic, probably young (under 30), with a fresh approach and ideas, a willingness to reach out to all and not carrying around previous baggage from the Trust, CARD, the museum, various supporters clubs, etc, etc. 

    That way nobody has a pre-judged opinion from the start and we can all equally slag them off from the get go.

    Edit: Sorry, I meant "support", "Support them from the get go".

    When you've swerved the Cryptos thread because you haven't been interested in skateboard wheels since you were at school.

    When you’ve forgotten you don’t have to go to work on Monday morning on Friday night thinking tomorrow is Monday.

  • When you can’t remember what work is
  • You know you’re getting old when you know me from Net Addicts days or long before that and I tell you I’m booked in for the 1st vaccine jab...

    If you don’t follow the same routine in the morning then you forget to do something i.e. brush teeth or shave.

    You wake up and watch cricket before work.

    I haven't ever really liked cricket. 🏏

    You’re not old if you can do that.
  • You know your getting old when you poodle up to the supermarket checkout without a care in the fucking world failing to notice (refuse to make eye contact) the 8 people queuing for the same checkout behind you.
