    How turnstiles seem to be shrinking. Then again, that's not something I will be experiencing this year at The Valley.

    Seeing that there were over 100 unread posts on this thread and thinking, but surely I only posted on there last week.

    It now takes 1/4 of an hour to put on a pair of effing socks.

    I wen't for a long walk in the countryside yesterday (Old Git indicator #1). Knowing that it was a hot day I took a spare pair of socks (Old Git indicator #2). Half way around there was a footpath through a wheat field that was poorly maintained. I was outraged at this (Old Git indicator #3). At the first opportunity I left the footpath to get back on the road (Old Git indicator #4). My boots were full of old straw bits and chaff. I decided that this would be a good time to change socks, but I didn't want to sit on the verge and get my bottom dirty (Old Git indicator #5). I could barely stand up straight whist changing my socks; passing vehicles were honking at the stupid old man who was teetering about by the side of the road with his boots in his hands (Ultimate Old Git indicator).

    Yet another advert uses a song from the 60s and I tell anybody within earshot that I've got that record (no, not the 'feeling a gladioli' song, wash your mouth out for even thinking of it)
