The Oldies Thread

The last few weeks I've had a pain in my heel when walking. Been provisionally diagnosed as 'plantar fasciitis' (inflamation of the tissue running from the heel to the toes. For those who didn't know, which includes me). Have to get an xray to rule out the possibility of heel spurs or fractures.
Gives me loads of opportunities for a good moan about ageing, health service waiting lists and how much I sacrifice for my family.

I posted similar about twelve months ago.
Excruciating pain putting weight on my left foot. A combination of exercise purchase of insoles solved the problem.
I also, much to my embarrassment, wear a pair of Skechers. Only old gits wear those.
 
I went to the 4th day of The Ashes yesterday - Now I remember why I dont get on the piss at 9.45 in the morning
Deadman walking here.
Good job it all finished by 10 past one, is all I say

the 80’s exhibition had a Sony C5 video recorder, I had a C6 and had a look at an online inflation calculator , it would have cost £1411 at today’s prices :eek:.
 
One thing that I've noticed since I turned sixty is that I try to guess who sent a Christmas card by the writing on the envelope. The missus will say something like "I think that's from your cousin Eileen" and I will say "no, that looks like Mary's writing". We will go back and forth like this for about ten minutes. It takes about five seconds to open the card to actually find out who the real sender is.

I did a mention on the "things that make you fume" about Christmas cards and it's happening again.
Having done what you have mentioned above, I open the card to find another two pieces of A4 full of what the self important pricks their kids, and grandkids have done since they last made contact last Christmas. I'm not effing well interested. If I was if have been in touch since then. Funny none of them write that their offspring are now in a sex offenders wing. Just go with the flow observe the ritual and false bonhomie and be done with it.
Merry Xmas
