    1. I've started playing football....again. It's following the same pattern since I was around 20. Out of shape. Play in goal. Get fitter. Start playing midfield. It takes me two days to recover minimum. Played a 7-a-side tournament on Saturday. We were shit. I still have a sore back.

    2. I've started growing veg. That's old ain't it? Totally practical. But that's the sort of shit my dad would do.

    3. I plough through crossword books like a demon. Again. Something my dad would do.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    After all these years..turns out that even the real cheapie nose hair clippers can be/should be cleaned for reuse. I was just buying another and figured they burned out. Who kneeew. It's actually quite disgusting .

    I went into a conversation about 'photo albums' with a kid at work and there was a literal triple blink when I told them we didn't scroll to it or download them back then. You pulled up the coffee table...and you sat down and flipped through a physical album. The idea of not having multi-tier pics to carry around and pin up to random street corner light posts every hour was incomprehensible.

    hit the 15 year mark here at Saddoland. Many top notch posters going back much further than I for sure but it's been a minute! Good times. Shit, I was on a dial up Toshiba just trying to keep up on a Wacko rbr

    I joined a month before you! I feel old.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Funny story about that, in 2002 my username was "Brocktonblockbuster" but when the site got revamped later that year I think, I shortened it to Brocktonblockbust because it was too damn long to type.

    I know quite a few people on here who have been banned from about 2003 and are now back on here with their third or fourth username to be honest.

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
