Signs that you are getting older

[Mark TKO]

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.

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.

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

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.
