Going swimming at Fairfield with the family and finding out it's an "inflatable" session and spending 50mins face planting the water so many times that I actually stopped 15mins from the end of the session feeling like I needed a HIA
Fell over on the stairs kicking a balloon during the playoff final, some kind soul picked me up. Old gits rule, if attacked, can't run so will fight to the death !!!!
I received a cold phone call today from a guy who wanted to find out if I was eligible for a 50% discount on new windows.
The word eligible always confuses me with its similarity to illegible. Anyway he was a motormouth and needed stopping so I shouted out, 'I don't want to be legible', obviously opting for something between the two and somehow sounding a bit like Frank Spencer at the same time.

I find fcuk off seems to do the trick. Thought cold calling was illegal but I might be wrong. Used to get so many spam calls after moving and having a new phone number but thankfully they seemed to have dried up a bit.
You have no idea what ‘substack is’ and being disappointed with moshing you don’t bother googling it.
Not knowing either, I took the plunge into Google. You were right to anticipate disappointment, it's incredibly mundane.
Here's what I have gathered: Substack is the brand name of an online platform for publishing stuff. If you want to read the stuff that's being published on it, you can visit their website or download a dedicated app. If you want to publish stuff there, you can open your own 'Substack'. There seems to be a lot of debate online about the difference between a Substack and blog. I'm not sure I've gotten to the bottom of it, but looking at their website, it seems that it's probably easier to incorporate other media into your writing and make it all look pretty. It also seems like the company are promoting themselves amongst professional and wannabe-professional writers rather than just anyone in the general public. In short, It's the brandname of a nice bloglike thing. Sorry, for any disappointment this post has caused.
Having a kick about, with a group of primary school age kids. Haven't played for over 20 years, brain thinks that not a problem, my 60 year old body not responding to actions that once came naturally to me.

I packed up playing when I was 50, 7 years ago. God knows what I’d do to myself if I played now. Did an hour in the gym earlier (nothing too strenuous) and am achy and creaky enough after that.

tried walking football, and couldn't believe quite how crap I was- no ability to trap, pass or shoot- all gone.
To give some of you hope. I stopped playing at 33. I’ve just started again at 52 (7 a side on quarter pitch, Astro). Most others in their 30s and I don’t look too out of place.

I've never played it, but can't imagine for a second I'd be ay good. I couldn't trap, pass or shoot, even in my prime. The only qualities I brought were energy and aggression. It must be ridiculously hard to go flying in when you're not allowed to move beyond walking pace.

Especially as when I played football the amount of times I got hacked on the shin with no effect.
