The Oldies Thread

roydo, I've just completed 20 years retired, you can't beat it. Hope it all goes well for you too, enjoy it.

It was kinda forced on me, well us, and god willing, will be able to get back working as and when/if I want.

It hasnt really sunk in yet, cos of this virus, Mrs R, and the crap weather, so the "joys" of it are limited to feeling fine financially and being able to keep her safe.

And the wild garden just glares at me!
 
I remember when you could go into a shop with a pound and walk out with a mars bar, can of coke, pack of crisps, pack of pogs and 3 packs of panini stickers................. koff cctv !!
I remember when you could get the bus there and back from Edge Hill to Garston on a Friday night, buy 5 woodbines and a box of matches, go
to the pictures at the Empire, go to Goodison Park in the boys pen the next day and still have enough to buy the programme with 5 shillings pocket money.

Are you sure it wasn't a change from a farthing ? :p


My mate's dad could recite this word for word , complete with Yorkshire accent , creased me every time
 
Lads, before you all die your various old age related agonising deaths, would you care to buy some raffle tickets to help a young lad?
Oh go on, you know then you can meet your maker having done good even as Death himself was stalking you.

Heaven awaits...


 
Where did you do your National Service? I was in Singapore and Malaya (1954-57). By the way, I think you are the oldest on GOT, I think you have several months over me! lol
Ye think I am about the oldest.Was stationed in Kowloon,then on active service in Malaya, which I wouldn't wish on anyone, I can remember the rationing when I was a kid, and no one had anything, and when I see the way people are now because of the Corona virus,I dispair I really do.
 
Right then you old bozos.

Time to get yourself ready for the new government measures.

Roll call time.

Posters over the age of 70 on here:

@Methuselah (aged about 104)
@Joey66 (not actually 54 apparently)
@Steve Wigan (80-something)

Who else have I missed?
Its not a number mate, its more a state of mind...and, given the virus thing, its the state of your lungs / how many fags you smoke(d) your general health and immune system.
I click over in June - round about the peak.
