    When catching a train at the station, you allow an extra five minutes to get in the car, an extra five minutes for the journey, an extra five minutes for getting a ticket, an extra five minutes for crossing to the other platform and an extra five minutes just in case and find yourself on the earlier train.

    Music in Oak after game seemed ridiculous. So loud, with heavy bass, that none of bar staff could hear orders. I feel a lot older than mid-30s right now.

    You watch Charlton and haven’t a clue what those professional footballers are actually trying to do…

    You realise that neither of the US Open women's finalists were born when the September 11 attacks took place.

    The name Nicki Manaj comes up on the news and you say Nicki who?

    Further research tells me she has just told 22 million followers that her cousin's, friend's testicles swole up after getting a jab.

    Sometimes I think I'm on the very fringe of society and slipping further away every single day.  :#

    When, within 30 seconds, you can correctly guess 10 of the 11 players that Charlton fielded against Huddersfield in 1964, but you can only remember about two of the team that played in a game two years ago.

    Can I have a go?
    Rose, Hewie, Kinsey, Bailey, Haydock, Tocknell, Kenning, Matthews, Firmani, Edwards, Glover.
    I think we played that side in almost every game, with Peacock, Durandt getting in occasionally.
    I couldn't name the 2 years ago team either!

    The side I first remember clearly was Duff, Sewell, Hewie, Tocknell, Hinton, Bailey, Lawrie, Matthews, Leary, Edwards, Kinsey. Fred Lucas filled in for anyone who was injured.

    Ah, that was a season or 2 before.

    Went the Barcelona’s football museum and they have boots under glass similar to the ones I used to play in and kids were laughing. They had a pair of Adidas with the three stripes in blue - the first colour used on a football boot apparently. I remember so wanting a pair of them. Eventually got a pair second hand.

    I bet Elton John remembers with pleasure being referred to as 'hip' in the 70s. (old speak for cool, sexy, awesome).

    The word has a whole new meaning for him now since he fell awkwardly on a hard surface causing him much pain. His 2021 tour of the UK and Europe has had to be delayed by nearly two years.  So the hip that gave lip to his zip, is now causing him nothing but gyp. 

    I feel for him.
