    When you come out of the ground in Harvey Gardens last night, check you bus app on your phone to see a 422 bus is due in the village in 5 mins and the next one is another 25 minutes later, think to yourself you can get that. So off at at fast pace, up Charlton Lane, then having to run the last bit and making the decision to go the bus stop by Charlton park as this will give me more time, only to see the bus sail past the stop as there's no one there as you get to the top of the road.

    🤢🤮 both physically & mentally.

    The morning after a match, you're still going on about foul throws.

    Harvey Gardens to the top of Charlton Lane in 5 mins?
    It would surely take most fit people 10 mins?

    You find yourself bidding for the most ridiculous old toot on eBay, simply because it evokes some kind of memory from your childhood or youth

    Haha. It's funny you should say that, but last year I was putting together a scrapbook/photo album in celebration of my Mum's 90th birthday and I did include some Green Shield stamps and Coop Divi stamps acquired from ebay :D

    I had one of those as a kid. It was a blob of red plastic in the shape of a barrel that slid onto a split pin. Oh boy, do I feel old now.

    When after a tremendous victory away to Hayes over 60s this morning, the WhatsApp tennis group discussion is all about usage of heat pads and the need for a soak in a hot bath, followed by a kip.

    When you mates invite you down the pub, you question the 10 min walk there and back, and decide you can’t be bothered 
    No, that is you being a lazy tight arse.

    I booked my booster jab on line and wrote down the details on a post it note, i.e. time, 8 digit code and date.  When I turned up this morning there was a problem.  In the end I handed my note to the receptionist who read my notes back to me - turns out I was a week early.  :/

    I made no eye contact with the people who'd began to queue behind me.  It seemed like a long walk back.
