    Just a daft thread about getting old but staying young.

    A few days ago I was walking through the park near my house and a group of lads were on the footy pitch kicking a ball about, aged around 15/16, the lads not the ball.

    The ball came over to me so I ran, well shuffled, a little with it, I was one of them back to my youth and ready to spend some time kicking about with them.

    I looked up ready to shout," Come on, get it off me if you can, lets be having ya".

    Then I looked up and saw a group of lads, standing with that look on their faces that said,"Come on old man, give us our ball back".

    Funny how everyone else sees a different body to the one you see in your minds eye.

    Off to take my medication now.

    What's more worrying for me is that I can't drink like George Best any more.

    I can empathise with all the sentiments here ....

    Did I really run around for 90 minutes?
    Was I really just 10 stones?
    Was I ever not an XL ?

    :)

    Well if my memory serves me correctly... You were around 6 when my old man was born and about 9 when my mam was born?

    Early starter?

    yes but how old was I when you were born? and my grandson is very unsure about me being his grandad, school plays for a 6 year old, granda in old rocker clothes no socks, I never wear socks.
