The Oldies Thread

[Bluerover]

Oh the trials and tribulations of being an old arse!
After a lifetime of working in heavy industry, lifting, shifting, climbing wind turbines and suchlike add to that years of playing amateur football, then road running and so on, I somehow manage to avoid injuries.
Yesterday, simply coming down the stairs, I heard an almighty pop, followed by intense pain behind my knee. Torn hamstring ffs.
Unless my mobility improves I'm a doubt for tomorrow's game.

So many people dying in their 50s. Scary given I am closer to 60 than 50.

The pedlars of such wares used to do a bomb when you were well oiled and with your woman in the clubs in the seventies. Usually about 1130 before the act came back for their second show.

Went to a couple of works meals in the Old Hall street, one.

Pure sophistication for a boy from Norris Green.
