You see a thread for the Tokyo Olympics, and you think of Lyn Davies, Mary Rand and Ann Packer.

You're waiting for the toast to pop up when you haven't put any bread in the toaster.

You're happy to pay someone to fix your brakes instead of doing them yourself.

You read the club is going cashless and you think they won’t have two ha’pennies to rub together…

When you see photos of an old landmark (Baseball Ground in this case) and think, cor look the clobber them people are wearing and look at them old cars, then realise you were well into this mortal coil when the photo was taken and could've even been in it the photo

You go out in the car, get about a mile down the road, wonder what the warning light on the dash is and realise you’ve left the tailgate open.

My problem is wondering about trying to work out where I’ve parked. Then realising 10 mins later that I left the car at home.

You go to Camden with a couple of mates, find a pub to eat in, order a coffee then sit there complaining about your aches/pains and failing eyesight/hearing.

It didn't seem that long ago that we'd have been looking for a place where we could get away with smoking a joint.

Smoking a joint will help your aches and pains. Not so good for the eyesight though.

When you have to get up 30 minutes before your normally meant too so you can do your stretches to loosen your body up before even attempting to get out of bed.

When catching a train at the station, you allow an extra five minutes to get in the car, an extra five minutes for the journey, an extra five minutes for getting a ticket, an extra five minutes for crossing to the other platform and an extra five minutes just in case and find yourself on the earlier train.

Music in Oak after game seemed ridiculous. So loud, with heavy bass, that none of bar staff could hear orders. I feel a lot older than mid-30s right now.

You watch Charlton and haven’t a clue what those professional footballers are actually trying to do…

You realise that neither of the US Open women's finalists were born when the September 11 attacks took place.

The name Nicki Manaj comes up on the news and you say Nicki who?

Further research tells me she has just told 22 million followers that her cousin's, friend's testicles swole up after getting a jab.

Sometimes I think I'm on the very fringe of society and slipping further away every single day.

When, within 30 seconds, you can correctly guess 10 of the 11 players that Charlton fielded against Huddersfield in 1964, but you can only remember about two of the team that played in a game two years ago.

When you have works dinner and drinks tonight so you shoot off early from work, so you can get some kip before you meet the lads.

Can I have a go?
Rose, Hewie, Kinsey, Bailey, Haydock, Tocknell, Kenning, Matthews, Firmani, Edwards, Glover.
I think we played that side in almost every game, with Peacock, Durandt getting in occasionally.
I couldn't name the 2 years ago team either!
