There was an item on the local news tonight about one of the lads who was injured in that car crash in Coed Ely.
He was a youth footballer with Bristol Rovers. The item included an interview with Bristol Rovers Academy Manager, Byron Anthony. He's 39 now, I remember him as a youth player at Cardiff.

That makes me feel old lol.
Watching classic films and realising the actors who looked so old were younger than me
Clint Eastwood for example
Nothing really makes me feel old, apart from recovery after a hard days work. I can still put it in, but can't recover like i could 5-10 years ago, i'm ****ed for 2 days.
My prostate, My diminishing pubic and hair in general.My grip. libido. BUT i can't wait for being a pensioner.
My prostrate is ok,still got my hair but my mojo has gone.Can't be bothered to take the viagra my doctor gave me.
I wouldn't take that lying down.
Having a lunchtime pint with ex colleagues where total years lived is over 500 and the main topics of conversation are probate, prostate, carers, hearing aids, excessive travel insurance, waiting lists and who is still capable of standing for 90+ minutes at a match. That and having confused conversations about whose round it is along the lines of "my round....you bought them last week....I wasn't here last week....yes you were...that was two weeks ago....no, you were here last week....was I?"
One advantage is getting to watch ‘new’ tv series. We watched the first couple of series of Death in Paradise recently, seen them before, couldn’t remember a thing. Started watching the new series of Vigil and realised that there was a previous series. Catch up told us we’d watched every episode, which we obviously had, not a clue. Watched it again as if it’d just came outBrilliant that we’ve got loads of new tv to watch….. Z Cars, Mrs Thursday, The Avengers, Dixon of Dock Green….the list in endless
Get on them mate (Viagra) They're brilliant. I don't need them yet, but i blast a Bluey when needed, performance enhanced. Only half a tab though. Brilliant things.
Is it just a semi with half a tab
I don't need Viagra yet, touch wood.
Me neither at 67.
Take one, trust me, you'll see a difference. Get on Dr Fox....
When you do I have a big stash!
I have noticed a lot of pubes on the shower floor
It's an interesting phenomenan

Thinking that anything that happened in the early 80s, happened closer to the end of WWII, than it did to today.
WWII finished 16 years before I was born. It's ancient history to me, but music of the 70s is proper music and most since then is modern reworkings.
thumbup:
As my Essex mate Roy would say: you're having a larf mate, aint yuh!
Everybody knows the music from the 60's is proper music.
Listening to Gold UK (or similar) while driving and constantly saying to yourself " that ain't an oldie".
Playing football with your Grandson and trying to do the same things you did with your Son when he was the same age.
I don't feel old myself and am in good health but am reminded of my mortality every couple of months when I hear of ex-colleagues of my own generation having died.
I worked for decades in a place that employed 900 to 1,000 people so statistically it is not surprising - but it does sometimes feel like it's like being in the firing line.
I have always been mindful that the Grim Reaper may make an appearance at any time and thought that any life after 60 was a bonus. The older I get the more mindful I am of doing things I always wanted to do - lest the opportunity disappear.
