So, why did I allow myself to be persuaded to play football in a staff v boys game today. I can hardly walk now, never, never, ever again.
My problem is I still think I am 25 not 55!

If you're off work tomorrow we can play for longer with our game!
Brilliant scheme  ;)

If you're sitting down, I won't need to ask.

I stopped playing football for the works team when I was 49. I could still play OK but it was the 6 months of physio every year that got me.

It says something positive that you still felt fit enough to put on a pair of boots on !...I'm impressed.

I've thought of doing my own version of the 'Iron man' challenge....... But instead of the swim....I'd have a bath.....Instead of the Marathon, I could walk a few hundred yards round the fields with the dogs.....Instead of the 112 mile cycle race......Hmmm...I suppose I could see if the tyres would still hold any air, and TRY and cycle the mile or so into the village.
I doubt I'd make it though.  ;D ;D

Hmmm, I would like to play more sport but my knackered knees will not allow it, as much as I might wish. Then there is my old back, gammy shoulder.... the list goes on :D

The pain in my legs is not as bad as the ear bashing I got from the Mrs whose opinion of my common sense is now even lower.

Yep, I'd get the same from Ma Subs. I used to play football when I was younger but now I'm very much a spectator -from the touchline, the stand or the armchair.

Best thing to use a blow torch on, in my experience, is thick cobwebs (especially those covered in building dust) and dry rot.
Probably doesn't kill the fungus spores, but it ain't half fun messing about with fire and watching things 'vanish' in flames.

Another fun one is to wet a decorators brush with water and then flick it with a quick wrist action so the water fires out. Best place to aim at is a 'lit' electrical light bulb. Watch and listen to it BANG!

In the dead of winter a propane torch is perfect for unthawing the door lock on your car. Great judgement and control is required, however, or disaster ensues.

Not like this, then?
