I wouldn't ever have classed myself as anything other than a moderate club runner, but I did manage 3 sub-3 hour marathons between the ages of 48 and 51 and a further 3 sub 3:06. Depends how you look after yourself. All so very true .. but genetics plays a part too. Sometimes you just get a good set of kit courtesy of your forbears.

I never missed an episode ? As an aside, A few years back I bought a Ford Focus, It's number plates had 3 digits along with others and were XL5, I bought it for £900 in the hope of selling the number plate, Got the V5 back and on it it said "number plate can not be sold seperately", Also it had a lowered suspension, My drive was on a slope so when driving on and off i'd scrape the sills, A couple of moths later sold for £350...ouch lesson learned. jono and Rampage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things that make me laugh now, was the baddies being “Boris and Natasha” with suitable Russian accents and Steve Zodiac treating Venus like a skivie, “make us a coffee honey” We need a Jim Smith topic on Supercar, Fireball, Space City, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO and the rest. ?

Rampage Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Just watched the game through again. A lot of potential in this squad. Experienced base is ideal for the younger players to prosper. Looks like Sibbo will give way to Tom but I would start with Sibbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag zig Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 We don’t bring the ball out that fast with Jags and Curtis but we look a lot more composed than when Keogh was there, noticeable it’s giving Roos and others more confidence too. jono and r_wilcockson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
