When you can’t remember the last time you watched TV without the subtitles on
I have to watch most programmes with subtitles, especially anything American.
That's a relief. So often I don't understand what they're saying. I've never dreamed of succumbing to subtitles for watching English language films alone though. I often have them on for my wife.
Another birthday ticks round today and although my mind is saying let's have a big day with beautiful people, my body is asking for fish and chips with a bottle of beer.

Mine too - Happy birthday to us!
I've just been wrestling with a bag of ground coffee and resorted to scissors, and now i just want to go back to bed.
When there's a poor connection on an online meeting and nobody gets your Norman Collier reference.
At my team meeting this morning, I reported that I had another meeting booked for later in the day with a guy called Stephen Lewis. Just to amuse myself I carried on "...who of course used to play Blakey". No one else was amused. After a long and painful silence my boss came to the rescue with, "I used to watch that with my grandparents". I really ought to have known better.
Stephen Lewis used to live in Westcombe Park Road SE3, near The Standard. (I know no one cares).

I had one a couple of weeks ago, I went with the bottle of beer option. Far more enjoyable than the faux happiness of celebrating your life tick down. Happy Birthday.
When you start to struggle opening a bloody crisp packet , give up and go for the Scissors .
When you’re too bloody minded to go for the scissors from the start instead of trying to open the packet without them and end up ripping the bag open and spilling the contents everywhere.
When you remember how much the FA Cup meant to fans. If you were drawn against a side in the same division the cup-tie drew a considerably larger attendance.

Compare and contrast the 1969 Crystal Palace 3rd round FA Cup tie with today.
I know COVID -19 and the local derby element too make a difference but back then the attitude to the FA Cup in general was very different. It was just as important a condideration as the league.

Happy days Len, sadly no more however we need to be grateful we were around to witness great FA Cup days, feel sorry for the young ones nowadays.

From one baldy bonce to another and without wanting to cause unnecessary panic, unless you’ve been on the booze, I’d get down to my GP and get a check for diabetes!
