    Was watching an Ajax match last weekend and a young sub came on and scored twice. He was born AFTER Euro 96!!

    When you're pleased to receive socks and pants as a birthday present.

    Assuming they're new ones of course.

    When you have to plan your journeys taking into account toilet stops.

    Just be grateful you're still able to pant without having a coronary!

    Converse Boots are back in AGAIN ! Think I have still got my old pair from last time somewhere in my mum's loft.
    I was wearing Converse in the mid-70's. The only place you could buy them in London at that time was in the Lonsdale shop in Beak Street....Jeez, now I'm feeling ancient[/quote]

    You don't remember Converse Boots as you were too old then in the 70's....:-)

    One of my first jobs after leaving school in the late 60's was in a sports shop in Fleet Street, owned by the late, great Jack Hobbs. We used to sell Converse then but didn't stock them, it was by order only. They were a little 'elitist' at that time. Glad to see they're still around.

    I met my nephew (first) last night, who my little sister gave birth to a month or so back.. it was a great end to a shocking day at the Valley but it definitely made me realize time is ticking on !

    That would be the take over thread then.


    You know when you are really old when your children ask if you have been to the toilet before you go out.

    When you can no longer get through a full nights sleep without having to go.

    And why did no one ever warn me about ear hair?

    Remember them doing a set in bridewells back in the day.

    Also old when you used to go to Flicks not Zens.

    You can remember when you and all your friends had a landline phone!!!
    The bus to school was 2 pence, now 70 pence.
    Football for-a-fiver was normal.
    Gola bags were really s**t, now kids take them to school. I'd have died rather than have one in the 70's.
    You can remember feeling cool to wear grolsh bottle tops on your DM's :(
    Farah's were for old men, then they were cool, then they were crap again. Oh and with a Gino Capelli striped jumper to go with them!
    You could do 60 press-ups in 60 seconds, lol. Oh and when lol meant lots of love :)

    .......when you realise that parts of the Hornby train set you drag out of the loft every Christmas were given to you as presents when Sam was still playing in goal!

    Just wait....

    At the start of the season I sprinted for a bus after a home game, got there before most others who were running for it, got on, not out of breath, feeling quite good about myself…..then a young woman offered me her seat….
