Signs that you are getting older

[Spicoli]

Just want to take a minute and apologize to all the 50 year olds I called old when I was 20 . On a random note, I feel "old" now when reading many views of younger boxing fans. You step back and realize how long you've watched, enjoyed, obsessed and yes often cursed this fecking crazy crooked sport. I saw a few people calling guys like Shane Mosley an old timer who couldn't be a top guy in todays sport . I'm talking new fans. It's insane. For perspective I look back to when Shane was streaking as lightweight, mid 90's when we were watching him live. And then think where we were back then as a fan and what a 30 year difference was then. Were we really dismissing guys from the mid 60's? Nah. A 30 year difference roughly. I don't see the enthusiasm in some new fans to "look back" and maybe study or discover other eras we/they knew/know little of. I really do think some is an attention span thing with roots to 101 social media outlets. Irony is there endless and immediate information at the fingertips today compared to mid 90's. Shit. we were still calling 900 #s to get weekend fight results and scouring fight mags for info.

Yeah turning fifty was the hardest so far. Never had an issue with 30,40 as to me it was never old - and a footballer could still be at their peak at thirty and in recent times boxers still at the top-thought not their peak admittedly at 40.

But fifty..... Nah as Spic said it that was old to us in the 90s. I guess we still have darts and crown green bowls.

Currently laid up after groin hernia surgery yesterday hence awake in the middle of the night. On the
codeine. Will be a few days of tv and hobbling to the bathroom but hopefully on my feet and walking by early next week. I'm told though it does happen with age this can happen any time eg teens and twenties so not putting this one down to father time yet.

I've downloaded Undisputed on ps5 too so will see how I get on with that. Not got the best reviews but doesn't sound like a disaster either.

Sports injury related bud or hernia just showed up? It's amazing what pops up these days out of nowhere. Was laid up with those piercing back pains recently, it's extremely humbling as hell to be limited with the most basic things day to day. Like getting in and out of the damn shower . Had to pull out the ol Xbox and give RDR2 a long run thru again.

When you remember British heavyweights constantly getting beaten again and again for the world title that it became embarrassing.... oh wait.

When you miss the classic disaster films they used to play over Christmas and New Year. The Towering Inferno. The Poseidon Adventure etc

Inferno was great! Ever see Earthquake? Think it came out same year with a mini ensemble cast. The Christman0New years gap was always a very off time. You just sort of lose track of time and what day it is. Getting older certainly doesn't help with that . I was always a sucker for sci-fi marathons during. The Planet of the Apes sequels, old westerns and Twilight Zones were always put on in the house during holiday breaks as a kid.

I am going through Twighlight Zone series with my son, he likes them. The actor Burgess Meredith, who plays Mickey in the Rocky films stars in 3 of the episodes which are classics.

I don't think I have ever seen Earthquake. Love Westerns though. As a kid they often played them on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and I still love 'True Grit' to this day. The original and the Coen Brothers remake. You have to check out the Coen's 'Ballad of Buster Scruggs' if you have a chance, brilliant stuff.

'Godless' is another one definitely worth your time if you haven't already seen it, about a town primarily populated and protected by women.

Yeah loved those back in the day. Earthquake too like Spic mentions, I remember the ending where Charlton Heston has to sacrifice himself to try save his ex wife. There was also Airport, Juggernaut, The Swarm, Meteor and some low budget ones due tv on a Sunday night. I have vivid memories of one called Vacation From Hell and another Hanging By A Thread where they're stuck in a cable car

They don't make em like that any more as the saying goes

[Mark TKO]

Out of curiosity I went back to check the cast list of those last two. Michael Brandon was the male lead in vacation from hell. Never knew

Missed this one. Think it's just wear and tear mate and never wearing the right support stuff in the gym. Oh if I could go back and talk to my younger self.... Had both left and right sides done last year and healing well.
