Getting up these days from a night's sleep is a lottery. Which part of my body will ache the first
Too true mate, IBS, 'farmer Giles', hair loss, 3 pairs of glasses (distance, reading, computer), and other unmentionable failings.
Getting old is vastly overrated.
...not to mention the condition all of us have - Evertonitis.

Got all my own teeth and a good head of hair but lots of things don't work very well. Getting old is vastly overrated but it does give you excuses for not doing things.
That'll be what sees you off in the end, nailed on that.

It's the seemingly compulsory purchase and the wearing of those sleeveless jackets that I'm resisting. Older blokes of expanding waistlines seem to be the only people wearing these. Count me out.

I'd hate to think what my BP does on match day.
One of them gillette things?

Normally I would be right in there with the sleeveless jackets with lots of pockets.
But somehow I don't think Bardot, Cher or Jenny Agutter would be attracted.
It's really down to that.
I live there....in my village about a mile up the hill, all of the women look like Anne Widdecombe. Frightening!
The wrinkled stocking types come in by the coachload every weekend to pay homage to Nora, the Kate Moss for the over 65s
In primary school we had a Mr Badham who CANED you if you were late twice in a week. Pig!

Same here. Except he was Mr Hook. I kid you not. Cane, dap, ruler across the hand, had em all.
Some lunatic maths teacher lobbed, at full force, one of them wooden blackboard cleaner things at me once as well.
And the teacher/pupil rugby match when in the VIth form.......got clocked by a teacher in that.
But brilliant days!

Went to a CB school where the CB's used a 'strap' on bad kids. Regularly sent for the strap to the headmasters office. Noticed one day it was made in a factory in Ireland. Imagine that as your chosen profession "oh yeah I make leather straps for beating children"

In secondary school in Liverpool (about 1949) there was once some trouble. The headmaster called a special assembly and everyone congregated in the school hall. After a while, the door at the rear of the hall crashed open and the headmaster came down the central aisle carrying a big wooden club with a nail knocked through it. He got on the stage and waved the club about and threatened to use it on anyone who continued with whatever trouble it was.
We had a teacher who doubled up as PE teacher. If it was raining we had to go in the school hall. He had a long piece of rope and at one end he tied three Indian clubs. We then had to stand in a circle and he stood in the middle swinging the rope. We had to jump over the rope. If it caught your legs it wrapped around until the Indian clubs rapped your shins. You then had to go and sit on the stage and watch. We learned that it didn't pay to be there at the end as the rope would be coming round at chest high. Physical violence seemed a normal part of the school day!lol
