    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.

    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

    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

    Just woke up to the deeply sad news of George Foreman's death. Obviously everyone gets old and eventually dies. But few things hit hard as "signs that you're getting older" as seeing famous people (whether celebrities, athletes, etc) pass away. Especially if you watched them in their prime. For some reason I just thought that George would be around for a while longer, and become a jolly old man. May he rest in peace.

    Norm from Cheers has passed away. I loved that show and it brought a lot of good memories for me.

    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.
