Is it just me or does every sporting activity after the age of 35 involve some sort of ache or pain?

this week I have a sore neck from tennis (from serving rather badly) and a sore calf from footy (from thinking I can still run fast)

i would have thought with my super healthy lifestyle I'd last longer than this?

Does it hurt when you have sex too? :smoking:

A little curling wouldn't hurt anyone. That's my two cents for this topic. :)

ahhhhhh curling one of the finest stoner sports ever invented :D

You can always rely on our Maya to have a one track mind, a fookin dirt track :D I'm sure he wouldn't hurt as bad as mr sumner would after you bunch cornered him.

Steve, I think you meant "she" instead of "he." I didn't think my curling input would be distorted to your perversion, Mr. Campbell.:nonono:

Well I did mean that poor BA would be nowhere near as sore as Barney by the time a whole posse of Angels had had their wicked ways with him.

And, I could distort the Bible to my ends (no talent there I know, the churches have had that scam perfected for centuries) :D

Does you Ma know you talk to people like that? ;)

i believe you meant "excuse me, but what did you mean by that please" then again, round here that could be taken as pre-fight sarcasm....so maybe huh? is the best option.

A good sport for old people: finding the remote (it's never in the same place you left it!) :evil4:

Another good one: the 100-Yard Oatmeal Bathroom Relay (see who can make it to the head after a delicious bowl of Quaker Oatmeal loosens you up) :thumb:

I should write these ideas down, they are winners! :nod:

I'm 33, i haven't done any proper exercise for about 3 months!

I keep waking up with stiff necks, sore shoulders and stuff and not due to exercise. What's that all about?

I don't wanna be old...

I shall be on my best behaviour on January 28th, not acting age or waistline at all!

No alcohol (shall be 28 days into a drive to lose 2 stone by the summer), no staying out all night (travelling back straight after the gig rather than staying overnight), no shite kebab from that place a couple doors down from the Old Monkey (which poisoned me in November). And I shall be sat down at the back rather than down the front.

Shite really, the band better be good!

fishing? you might stick a wee hook in yer finger now and then, but if you take up a little light match fishing, I'm sure you'll survive. Don't advise going after blue marlin or especially wrecking for Conger...I mean if reeling the cnut in doesn't ruin you...spending the next hour or so in a small boat, unarmed, with an angry 80lb Conger will put you in hossy

(once hid with 5 other big strong men, in a wheelhouse while a 25-30lb-er took over the deck area...we were stuck there till it found the bait bucket, then we got a sack on it and got it bac home..IT'S home....you really would never think a fish would try and feed out of water, but eels are fucked in the head)

Actually played 5 a side a few months ago, after my 37th b/day and came through it without many aches at all.:confused2:

Actually...I left out the bit aboutmy last mackerel fishing trip leaving me batter and bruises and heavily barnacle scarred.

No sense of balance on these PK's and have also lost all ability to shift my weight rapidly...makes rocks a nightmare, which is fuckin annoying cos i been hoppin rocks like a clegg since I was fuck all size, and could even do it with my full adult homer-gut.

Steve, I thought that your post had a typo. It would sound a lot funnier if you said, "I'm sure he wouldn't hurt as bad as mr sumner would after you bunch cornered him." since "she" would have been attributed to Maya. Now that I read the post now, I can see that "he" refers to Mr. Sumner. Sorry for the misinterpretation.

I can be a witty person, provided that I get some inspiration. I'm good at coming up with stuff in a few seconds. Apparently, that didn't happen at this post.

Can't believe it started with my curling post... OK I will finally leave the matter alone:ignore:
