No thanks, not ready for slippers and rocking chair yet. I'll be bouncing around at gigs for years to come if I have my way. Oh, and I hate Blackpool.
    (Apart from the bit about football in my case) who could disagree with those sentiments? Spot on Roger!

    Last weekend I was at a RN reunion in Shanklin on IOW, and although well into bus pass age it was like being 18 in Hong Kong, minus the "Bar girls" & "Sticky greens" of course

    But the Saturday morning was a bit painful, and shows I am not 18, or 28, or even 48 any more

    Saturday night was even worse, even had complaints about the noise from the bar at 0200, seemed OK to us

    Have to agree with everyone. I have no intention of giving up for years yet. My life has revolved around football, beer, pubs and music since i was 16 and I have loved every minute of it.
    I have to admit that it takes longer to get over a heavy session and the medication I have to take seems to make me bruise like a peach !!

    I suddenly feel quite young though looking at some of your ages !!!

    It was mine and Soup Dragon's birthday this week as well (we share the same birthday but he is 731 or so days older than me!). That's quite a coincidence - they must have put something in the West Midlands water in January 40+ years ago.

    Are you coming to Nottingham on 11th November for the Pubs Galore big day out?

    Hi Andy,

    I seem to remember that soupy had the same birthday as me - I'm sure it came up last year on the board.

    Sorry to say I can't make the Nottingham day out. I did look at getting the day off work but as it turns out I am on 24 hour call out that week. That means I have to be able to get to work within an hour ( and be in a fit state to do anythimg !! )

    Cheers,

    Del.
