Re: I feel old..
Happy birthday LFB


Time waits for no man, but it would be nice if it would slow down a bit.

Was watching the Ireland / Colombia game last night and couldn't believe it when the commentator said it was 13 yrs since the Colombian keeper did that scorpion kick at Wembley. Michael Owen scored a hat-trick that night also.
If asked, I would have guessed it was only about 6-7 yrs ago as I remember it so clearly.

Re: I feel old..
Why worry? If you feel the same, and have the same outlook on life, just enjoy yourself.

I'm 43 and still have the same positive outlook on life that I did when I was in my 20s, only with two decades of experience to add to that.

Now, where's me Horlicks?

Not possible.....Michael Own is 28 now, 13 years ago, would have made him 15 yrs. Unless he scored a hat trick in a U-17 game or something?

I googled to make sure I was saying the right year and this came up. Checked another site and it says 0 - 0.


Anyway...The Michael Owen bit was only an aside, I meant I remember the scorpion kick like it was yesterday.

I think that's a page of all England v Columbia games, it makes it look like the same game but it definitely wasn't. Owen's England debut was not long before the 98 World Cup.

I'm afraid I know the answer to this one, as you get older a year gets shorter in perception terms because it's a smaller percentage of your actual life spans. So, when you're 2, the previous year was half your life, so is a long time. When you're 10 its 10% of you lifespan and you start to get a feel for a years length, however, when you're 40 it's only 2.5% of your lifespan so a year zips by and they're not gonna get any slower..

Sorry

Happy birthday all the same

Re: I feel old..
Have a great birthday, sorry to hear it has a sad twinge to it.

As for getting old, I hear you. Just not sure where the years are going, but I have my health a beautiful wife and baby girl, and when I sit back and consider what a lucky bugger I am compared to millions of people in various countries living a miserable existance, I guess getting a bit older isn't something we should let ourselves get to tied up about.

Worse things happen at sea...

Clooney is completely grey and the women still love him, got to be hope for us all.
