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.
;D

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.
Not many people still limp when they are sat down.

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.

We are guys - this is what we do! My wife says it's in our owners manual.
This is why I like this forum, I know I am not alone. :)

I have bought one of these to present my eldest with at the end of my "Father of the Bride" Speech at her wedding next year
Obviously the "techno version" has him burning his hand and setting the wall paper on fire
WRONG !!!
The Techno version, has him using a blow torch on plastic/nylon pipes. :P
Cheers - Phil :D
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.

Honestly, would you? Fire on a garage forecourt, what else could go wrong?
I could have been there.
I was going to call the person a complete pillock.
Then I remembered, I've already told the (honestly, true) story of me, and two and a half gallons of "Is this diesel or petrol ?" and being engulfed in a split second fireball, a few years back X_X
Cheers - Mr Cat......(Who must have used up most of his nine lives by now.)

You don't have Frank Spencer somewhere in your family tree do you?

No.....But I
used to be able to do an almost spot on impersonation of his voice. ("H
mmmm....Nice".)
=O =O =O =O...I just tried...Doesn't sound right at all, now. :-[

According to Ma Subs, Frank Spencer is to make a comeback with Michael Craig as a one off for Sports Relief and is recreating the famous roller-skating-while-holding-on-to-back-of-a-bus routine.
